About this act
An acoustic and bass duo who play The Rocks every weekend, with regular short runs out into rural New South Wales. The covers lean country and rock and roll: Creedence, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, Paul Kelly, John Mellencamp, Ben Harper, Bruce Springsteen, and a stack of 50s and 60s dance tunes. They also have two albums of their own songs, recorded with Bill Chambers, and a few of those slip into the set when the room suits it. The standard shape is three 45 minute sets across three hours, though two longer sets often holds attention better. They're not a loud band, but they can lift it for dancers. The whole rig runs off one power point and fits in a corner. Sydney based. Insured.
