Triple Golden Guitar Winners and 2021 Australasian Country Music Roll Of Renown Inductees, The Bushwackers, have just entered their 55th year of performing. Fresh from 4 incredible performances at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, front-men Dobe Newton & Roger Corbett will be accompanied by Rory Phillips on guitar and Josh Beveridge on bass, to help them bring their more intimate ‘Songs & Stories’ show to life.
Despite their longevity, The Bushwackers saw a resurgence in popularity in 2023 after their sensational run on The Voice Australia, where they wowed audiences with their iconic anthem, ‘I Am Australian’, co-written by the band’s own Dobe Newton. “The Voice experience was a whirlwind of excitement”, says Roger, reminiscing about the rush of four chair turns, reconnecting with Jessica Mauboy, and the thunderous applause from fans across the country. That moment captured the hearts of viewers around the nation and reminded fans that the pair are still very much around.
Dobe and Roger will share some of the stories, humour and sense of history that has helped to forge our national identity, along with their all-Australian brand of music that we’ve all come to know and love, at this special show in Robertson, NSW.
