Dave Wright & The Midnight Ramblers and The Distant South come together for an incredible evening of Bluegrass, Roots and Alt-Country music at the beautiful Wesley Anne..
City born but country raised, when Dave Wright puts pen to paper and pick to guitar strings he knocks out epics and ravers and boozers about girls, cars, Australia, mariticide, Diggers, truckers, sadness, sickness, drunks, heartbroken mothers, angry fathers, desperate sons ... and death. Playing old-time style, gathered around one microphone, Dave Wright & The Midnight Ramblers bring big harmonies, lashings of rolling mandolin and soaring fiddle to Dave Wrights significant back catalogue.
Melbourne based alt-country band The Distant South have been building a strong following based on their confessional song writing and captivating live performances. In 2024, the band released their 4 track EP - "Set Me Free", following up on their self-titled debut Album. With heartfelt lyrics and captivating melodies, they delve into themes of love, loss, hope, and the challenges of navigating life's often difficult journey. The band’s music reflects the authentic voice and song writing of Nick Howells and is brought to life through a rich blend of instruments including acoustic guitar, dobro, lap steel, banjo, double bass and drums.
