What to Expect

We have played as far south as Tathra and played Tamworth 2020 and 2022. We especially like playing festivals and to a listening audience. We would like to play corporate gigs that are looking for something authentic and special;truly Australian.
If we have to travel far we would require accommodation and it's likely that our partners would come too. We have a caravan, camp trailer and campervan and so we are not unaccustomed to camping provided we have a toilet and shower. $400 is our minimum fee and it would be for a 45 minute local (Kiama/Gerringong) set with 3 piece. We are not a wedding otr a party band. We play mostly original songs from our 3 albums with a few covers thrown in. We provide quality entertainment that is uplifting and joyful, but we also like to tell stories and pay respect to our First Nations people. We love playing festivals. corporate gigs and house concerts.
Dom Littrich (Inspired Unemployed, Big Twisty) is not always available to play.
