After 55 years on the road, The Bushwackers remain as musical and energetic as ever, bringing their Australian classics to heart-pounding life with fiddles, guitars, bass, drums and the mighty lagerphone of Dobe Newton beating out the rhythms. The Bushwackers are simply the classic Australian band. Their music is an eclectic mix of Australian folk songs reimagined in true Bushwackers style; foot-stomping Irish-inspired instrumental pieces and original songs, such as the iconic ‘I Am Australian’, co-written by Dobe, and many other original songs that have become favourite Bushwackers classics.
The Bushwackers have won three Golden Guitar Awards, created 25 studio albums (with a new one in the works), four books of songs, stories and tunes, and have been inducted into the Australasian Country Music Roll of Renown (2021). They have performed packed-out shows at all the great festivals around Australia, bringing their unique Australian sound and spirit to any festival stage as Australia’s best-known, best-loved Australiana band.
