Melville Summer Music is back for its fourth annual season of free, family-friendly concerts near you! Join us beneath the trees and lush parklands of the City of Melville to enjoy lively tunes from talented local artists – all while sharing a picnic with family and friends. Get ready to stomp your feet and sway by the lake as a bluegrass showdown comes to Melville Summer Music.
Back by popular demand are the Hamilton Hillbillies, delivering knee-slapping rhythms, lightning-fast finger picking, and harmonies that will have you hooting and hollering. This powerhouse lineup features ex-members of the Sensitive New Age Cowpersons, pub rocker Jim Fisher, National banjo champion Ian Simpson, mandolinist Adam Gare, and upright bassist Tom Fisher. Get ready for some of the hardest-driving bluegrass this side of Kentucky!
Joining the Hamilton Hillbillies is The Justin Walshe Folk Machine - an acoustic storm of bluegrass instruments and wild storytelling. With nearly twenty years of touring, this Fremantle six-piece delivers their award-winning, uniquely Australian “mongrelgrass” with energy and flair.
Don't miss this double header of bluegrass magic!
