Chris Lewis, drumkit/vocals/banjo-mandolin

Bush Gothic are celebrating the release of their new album, What Pop People Folk This Popularwith an Australian tour. Performing at The Northern Arts Hotel in Castlemaine, get ready to have your homely and totally archaic notions of Australian folk music exploded.

Using trad Australian songs as their source material their musical influences range from minimalist electro to jazz. Are they outsiders, lurking on the cultural fringe? Or have they penetrated to the inner core of Australian identity? Midnight Oil, Trad and Alt J rub shoulders as their radical re-interpretations of well known songs dare you to hum along. Or make you cry.

Guest soloist with Melbourne Symphony Chamber, band leader and fiddle-singer Jenny M. Thomas, is joined by double bassist Dan Witton, and drummer Chris Lewis, in what they describe as a post-modern bush band. Invited to perform at some of the world's most prestigious of festivals including Mona Foma, Festival # 6 (Wales), R.I.F.F (India) and Womadelaide, they have developed an international cult following amongst those who like their jazz intelligent and their folk dark.

They are multiple Best Music Weekly Award winners at The Adelaide Fringe and winner of Best Band at the 2022 Australian Folk Awards.
