THE COMPANY

“A masterclass in bluegrass" Sean Sennett, The Australian

“**** … They have the song writing chops to go with the flying fingers!” Noel Mengel, Courier Mail

“The Company are right up there with the best” Tony Hillier, Rhythm Magazine

Highly acclaimed Bluegrass band, TheCompany, have a passion for high-energy original and traditional acoustic music and for the past 2 years has solidified themselves as one of the best bluegrass outfits in Australia. The playing and singing is crisp, melodic and soulful with songs and stories from Brisbane and abroad and a show that delivers fierce instrumental prowess, engaging on-stage camaraderie and a wry humour.

STARBOARD CANNONS

“Poised, intelligent, genuine… hell, they might even single-handedly extinguish the cultural cringe about Australian folk.” Rhythms Magazine

“Starboard Cannons put storytelling at the forefront with deft instrumentation and deceptively sophisticated songwriting, all given a uniquely Australian spin.“ Time Out Sydney

“The duo’s dark tales of love and loss in the harsh Australian landscape turn ears in bars with ease, even stealing the occasional tear." Australian Guitar

Casting off the rusty manacles of Australian folk music, Starboard Cannons awaken a new dawn of contemporary Australiana. Moving across the realm of sparse and haunting folk, diving head first into full-blown, beer spilling, whiskey swilling sea shanty territory, the gents craft string-based tales that sit somewhere between the Scottish Highlands and the Aussie bush.
