Hello folks, welcome to our first show of 2025! We have such a beautiful year of music ahead and we'll be kicking this off in fine style with the amazing Rufous Whistler and The Flannelettes in duo form! Book your tickets now for this incredible alt-country and indie folk family-friendly extravaganza. Here's the scoop..
Rufous Whistler
Rufous Whistler is the Australian alt-country act turning heads nationwide. Hailing from Northeast Victoria (Wiradjuri Country), their music pairs raw, heartfelt storytelling with modern arrangements, warm, commanding vocals, and virtuosic musicianship.
Their first three singles have landed regular national airplay (including ABC’s Saturday Night Country), topped AMRAP charts, and amassed over 30,000 streams. Live, Rufous Whistler is a powerhouse—guitars, twin fiddles, mandolin, organ, drums, double bass, and harmony-rich vocals combine for dynamic, electrifying shows laced with sharp wit and toe-tapping energy.
2025 is set to be their biggest year yet. Supporting their debut album National Panic (out in March), they’ll play 30+ dates across every state in Australia, hit New Zealand’s Tussock Country Music Festival (+ 10 other dates), and launch their first UK and EU tour.
This is alt-country music that hits home and leaves you wanting more.

The Flannelettes Duo (Support)
Compelling blood-harmony driven songwriting with quirk, delivered by a fun, alt country, Duo from Adelaide, South Australia Kaurna Yerta
Think the Australian Everly Brothers if they were fronted by Ben Folds and Fiona Apple.
Those moments when a song taps into your psyche, hints at your vulnerability, and makes you smile at the same time you feel seen
–The Flannelettes duo; Mark and Bonnie offer them in spades.
Winners of the SA Music award for best country act 2023 and nominated for best live country act at the National Live Music awards 2023, they draw influence from artists such as Gillian Welch, The Everly Brothers, Crowded House and Daniel Johnston, This hard working group have a gift for communicating the fragility of being human in music that’s both poignant and playful.
The Flannelettes are; Mark Curtis (vocals guitar), Bonnie Aué (vocals, upright bass), they write and perform quirky songs drenched in harmonies, cynicism and humour. A little bit alt-country, a lot their own sound.
Indulge yourself and listen to the lyrics closely and alone. Then come see why they are being called Adelaides funnest duo.
"During sound check we thought someone had put a record on it was so well played, I just wanted to hear more and more." – Felicity Urquhart
