Saturday, 5 September, 3pm, at Art & Photography Pavilion, Gunnedah Showground

Hailing from South East Queensland, the four-piece ensemble combines melodic clawhammer banjo, rolling upright bass, acoustic guitar and touches of riverboat keys. Gathered around an old-time mic, they deliver classic storytelling vocals, memorable songs and rich five-part harmonies, all wrapped in the warmth of a traditional country-folk sound.

Having performed at festivals including the Gympie Music Muster and Tamworth Country Music Festival, Rusty Pickups are known for their fine musicianship, infectious energy and welcoming stage presence.

Bring a chair and settle in for a relaxed afternoon of live music, with a BBQ and bar available onsite.
