Wilder presents: Gleny Rae Virus, Broken Creek & Little Clouds

A triple bill of bluegrass, reimagined Australiana and lofty folk songs comes to Wilder Tasmania for an evening of award winning music.

Gleny Rae Virus and the Grass Brazoos

Bluegrass music with a modern country twist, Gleny Rae Virus brings humour and vibrancy to the stage with her feisty fiddle and irrepressible humour.

Winner of a 2023 Golden Fiddle Award and AFMA Instrumentalist of the Year, Gleny Rae is a deep basin of energy, songs and stories sourced from years living and working in beautiful remote areas of Australia. She will be joined by Grass Brazoos Billy Black on guitar and Smithy on double bass.

Broken Creek

Broken Creek weave compelling musical reimaginings of Australiana for banjo, guitar, fiddle and voice that tell stories of outsiders from Australia’s past and present.

Erin and Lachlan Heycox grew up in rural Victoria steeped in bushbands and balladeers before moving to Melbourne. Named for the creek Erin grew up near, ‘Broken Creek’ signals a love of traditional folk music with an adventurous musical bent to “break” with the conventional. 

2022 saw them release their debut album ‘Small Town Anthropologies’ (Finalist, FAA Traditional Album of Year) and launch a national Small Town Tour. 

Little Clouds

Little Clouds are a subtly nostalgic, quietly optimistic singer songwriter duo based on Dharawal Country, South Sydney, Australia. Emily-Rose Sarkova & Nick Henderson write lofty afternoon inspired hits and introspective midnight bangers, laced with clever lyrics and sweet chords that make you feel real good. And let's be honest - we are all in it for the feelings.

Little Clouds are embarking upon a tour to suit their intimate vibe, bringing music with them from their brand new album 'Quiet Life'. They move between their multi-instrumentalist personalities of guitar, bass, banjo, piano, keys, synths, accordion and vocals. It is intimate. It is real. Journeys will be had. 

If one requires some hard hitting musical facts about these two musicians, you might like to know that they are Conservatorium graduates who have played with award winning and very diverse musicians such as Art Music Award finalists Emily-Rose and The Wild Things, ARIA nominated Chaika, jazz legend Mike Nock, world renowned Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, Elio Villafranca, Arcing Wires, Monsieur Camembert, Duo Ramirez Satorre and Chris Cody Octet.
