The Humbuckin’ Pickups will bring their “Roots Drenched Folk” sound to venues all across Australia in 2023 to support their newly announced third album "Just Like Winter". The 2021 Troubadour Foundation Award and Maldon Minstrel winning outfit build on their first two offerings with a record that is filled with imagery of rural and regional Australia, and filled with the band's distinctive string accompaniment and four-part harmony. Wielding guitars, dobros, banjos, double bass and mandolins the quartet will draw you in with their love of storytelling through music, their humour and their four-part harmony.

Recorded, mixed and mastered in Geelong by the powerhouse Zac Barter, the CD is a raw and honest exhibit of what the band (Maxine Sutcliffe – Bass, String Parts and Harmonies, Trevor Dwyer – Guitars, Vocals and Banjo, Vinny Russell – Guitars and Mandolin, Ewan Cloonan - Guitar and Vocals) has to offer. At times gentle and conversational, at times raucous and wild, the album is an unadorned showcase of frontman Ewan Cloonan’s award-winning song writing - with debut songwriting and lead vocals from both Trevor Dwyer and Vinny Russell.

"Just Like Winter" follows their 2019 album, The Well. This album sees stories collected from around the world come alive through dextrous musicianship and high-energy performance: "as expected – clean, acoustic playing that’s well balanced with flawless vocal harmonies and beautiful, folk roots melodies" (Divide and Conquer Music).

In 2015 the band released their debut album ‘Skullduggery’, a completely live studio album which displayed their raw and heartfelt treatment of Cloonan's songs. This release saw the band's first single ‘Dunedin Star’ climb atop the AMRAP regional charts in December of the same year, a sign of things to come for the group.

The music video, which premieres today exclusively on Countrytown, was filmed and edited by Lachlan Bryan (of Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes and The Pleasures with Catherine Britt) and shot at Watts River Brewery Healesville, Victoria.

Cloonan says, “I had a great time filming the clip… and I think it’s a new band rule that for all future video clips also need to make sure we’re plied with delicious beer like we were at Watts River Brewery!”

Asked what the future holds for the band, Sutcliffe says, “we have some very exciting announcements in the near future – to the tune of national touring… but more on that later.”
