Hailin from , Queensland, The Hillbilly Goats are a hog-wild trad-folk, roots, and bluegrass stampede, churnin out Appalachian mountain tunes with a true-blue Aussie wallop. Crowned 2022 Australian Folk Band of the Year and snatchin Golden Fiddle Awards in 2020, theyve rustled up four Golden Guitar nods for their banjo-pluckin, fiddle-screechin, double-bass-thumpin, harmonica-wailin, tap-dancin hoedown. Keepin it Real aint just a sayinits their gospel, spinnin tales of 17101940s ditties thatll learn ya somethin fore they burn the barn down.
Captained by Goat Boy (Bryce Wearne) with Amy Goat kickin up dust, these varmints swap instruments like moonshine jugs, with Goat Boy jugglin drums, banjo, and harmonica in a one-man tornado. Their Nash Chambers-cooked Down Foggy Mountain (2016) scored CMAA hollers, and theyve tore up Tamworth Country Music Festival. Sportin corsets, fishnets, and harmonies sweetern possum pie, they hog-tied Cairns Timeout Awards (201214). Get on board with these Goats for a britches-rippin, foot-stompin, yee-hawin riot thatll leave your crowd crowin loudern a rooster at dawn!
