Official Showcase Artists at the 2022 AMERICANAFEST in Nashville!

A dream TEN YEARS in the making...

We're THRILLED to announce we have an OFFICIAL SHOWCASE at this year's #AMERICANAFEST! With enormous thanks to the Americana Music Association for this incredible opportunity. We were stunned (and a little emotional) to receive the invitation after working towards this goal for a decade. We've been back and forth to Nashville, year after year, supporting our idols, hoping one day it might be our turn. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who believed in us, especially Sounds Australia, who gave us a chance from the beginning. See you in September!

4 Star Review in 30th Anniversary edition of Rhythms Magazine!

4 Star Review in 30th Anniversary edition of Rhythms Magazine!

Completely blown away by this generous 4 star review of our new album!

ENORMOUS thanks to Chris Lambie for spending some time with our tunes and for the incredibly kind words and reflections.

"What's not to love? The velvety allure of vocal harmony, Bluegrassy instrumentation drizzled like honey, engaging Gothic narratives that both worry and warm. In the tradition of Johnny and June, Gillian and Dave, the Melbourne-based couple captivate the listener as a fine-tuned unit..."

With HUGE thanks to Brian Wise, Stuart Coupe and Red Rebel Music!
