45 years in the making ….. And still going strong!

The Bushwackers are Australia’s best-known, best-loved bush band. In 2016 The Bushwackers celebrated 45 years of performance. There’s been 75 members, 20 studio albums, four books, tours, awards and enough stories to fill a dozen books. They have shared the stage with the cream of Aussie rock – The Angels, Men At Work, Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil plus more. The band’s constant search and reputation for musical excellence saw them attract some of Australia’s best musicians – drummers Robby Ross (Goanna) and Freddie Strauks (Skyhooks), guitar legends Tommy Emmanuel, Steve Housden (Little River Band), Tim Gaze (Ariel, Rose Tattoo) and bassist Pete Farndon who went on to international fame with The Pretenders.

How many still-performing bands can boast 25 studio and live albums covering vinyl, cassette, CD and MP3 formats?!
