    Event description

    The Bushwackers are Australia’s best-known, most-loved Australiana band, celebrating over 50 years of performance.

    The Bushwackers play Australian music, much of it based on the traditional folk and working songs from the early 20th century, infused with their own brand of contemporary subject matter and instrumentation.

    With a laconic, distinctive Australian sound, Dobe Newton and Roger Corbett voice 50 years of songs, tunes and dance calls.  As much as the music has changed, the spirit of the songs and stories that inspired the first Bushwackers have not.

    With their politics and social conscience proudly worn on their sleeve, the band combines original material with a traditional repertoire.  Songs such as ‘Beneath The Southern Cross’ and ‘When Britannia Ruled The Waves’, sit easily alongside a musical setting of Lawson’s epic poem ‘Faces in The Street’ and ‘The Ballad of 1891’ celebrating the great shearers’ strike.

    Performing only one show at Mantra Studio Kitchen Bar in Yarraville (with limited seats available) on Friday the24th November 2023, the Bushwackers will perform with accomplished professional performers, including Sarah Busutill and Silas Palmer.  Show commences at 8.00pm

    Please note- Mantra's Kitchen opens at 5.30pm and bookings are essential on (03) 99172844.
