Born and bred in Gympie Australia, Linc Phelps is one of those salt of the earth people that is known far and wide as a good bloke, great performer and all-round legend. He proudly wears his heart on his sleeve both in life and via song.

 

It’s a rare quality that speaks so loudly to his character and attitude towards being a songwriter, singer, performer, husband, father and friend.

​

His new album, ‘Faith & Sweat’ debuted #2 ARIA Aus Country Album Charts while his stunning duet with Golden Guitar Award winner, Melody Moko, ‘Dear Mind’, topped various airplay charts in Australia.

​Brenny & The Bushwhackers bring their songs about southern battlers to life with their distinct sound.

 

Through years of fascination and interest in not only southern but New Zealand history, Brendon Fairbairn and his band have crafted an album of anecdotal masterpieces.

 

The Whackers will take you on a journey from the whale-killing fields of the 19th century south coast all the way through to Invercargill's Dee Street in the back seat of a Ford Falcon, with a stop at the duck pond along the way.
