With the same infectious spirit they had in the ‘70s, The Bushwackers now blend their seasoned showmanship with a new generation of talent – including rising star 18-year-old Rory Phillips.
“We’ve played in Wangaratta many times over the years, and it has always been a joy,” said guitarist Roger Corbett.
“This time we’re celebrating Seniors week at the Da Vinci Social Club, which is appropriate as the Bushwackers are a unique blend of older and younger members.”
This year’s lineup features the brilliant Anthony O’Neill on the fiddle and banjo who first joined the Bushwackers in the 80’s as a teenager himself and Rory Phillips who is still a teenager.
All the members share a love of the music, with fiery Celtic instrumentals, timeless bush ballads, and original classics drawn from the band’s 25 acclaimed studio albums.
Expect a heartwarming finale with the iconic anthem ‘I Am Australian’, co-written by lead singer Dobe Newton.
“Hearing the crowd sing that back to us… it never gets old,” Dobe said.
It’s a two-hour show for the whole family – packed with energy, stories, and songs that celebrate the Aussie spirit.
Don’t miss it. Bring your friends, grab a drink, and join in the great music and good times.
The concert takes place on Sunday, October 19 from 1.30pm – 4.30pm. The doors open at 12.45pm.
The cost, which includes afternoon tea, for members is $25 and for non-members is $30.
