The Humbuckin' Pickups are excited to bring their energetic "Folk Drenched Roots" across the ditch!  Renowned for their authentic sound and strong song writing, they create a joyous uplifting experience blending humour, warmth, 3 part harmonies and impeccable musicianship.  

 

Weaving themes and imagery of regional Australia, their traditional stringed instruments are a hallmark of their sound delivering a raw and honest approach to their dynamic performance.  

 

Their latest single, "How the Other Half Live", is a powerful narrative depicting the harsh reality of Australia's ongoing social and housing crisis and it hit the top10 of AMRAP's regional charts on release week.  Led by songwriter Ewan Cloonan, this All-Star lineup features Mahney Wearne (Hillbilly Goats), and Vinny Russell (Rufous Whistler).

Where: Small Theatre, St James Theatre, Irk St, Gore 

When: Thursday May 28th
