To close out their August tour, The High Street Drifters team up with Bluegrass Barbie and Chloe Marks for an evening of bluegrass, Americana and acoustic music in the heart of Brisbane.
The High Street Drifters are a cutting-edge bluegrass band from Victoria carving out a distinctive place in the Australian music landscape. Led by mandolinist Justin Vilchez and guitarist Daniel Watkins, the band features some of the country's finest bluegrass musicians on fiddle, banjo and bass. Together, they deliver the drive, energy and improvisation of modern bluegrass while staying true to the places they've grown.
Coming off the back of 2x Golden Guitar nominations and AFMA Debut Album Of The Year, The High Street Drifters continue to push the boundaries of Australian bluegrass with a sound that's both deeply rooted and unmistakably their own.
