'Dieselbilly' from Caltex Star and The Reverend of The Fuelers
To quote from The Blues Brothers movie "We play both kinds of music, Country AND Western" ... and that is still the attitude that many diehard Country fans have. The Country Music genre has become so wide and all encompassing it's difficult to define exactly what Country Music IS.
At the Tamworth Country Music Festival you will find: Classic Country, Bluegrass, Country Rock, Folk, Urban Country, Alternative Country, CowPunk, Twistabilly, Rockabilly, Western Swing, Country Rock'n'Roll, Yodelling and a whole heap more.
Somehow some rock, blues and world music bands have also found their way to the festival. It's even rumored that Techno music is being played occasionally, late at night... in dark clubs.
So whatever your musical taste, check out our Gig Guide and make the trek to Tamworth for one of the biggest parties in Australia.
