a group dedicated to the promotion and playing of Bluegrass, Old Timey and Associated music in Melbourne
What's coming up at Mountain Pickers
The Strzelecki Stringbusters
In the timeless tradition of the Hayride & Medicine show String Band entertainment, The Strzelecki Stringbusters combine elements of Ole Time Country, Bluegrass, Blues and Jug band sounds with good humoured banter and audience participation.
The fourteen piece strong ensemble hailing from the hills and hollers of the northern slopes of Gippsland Strzelecki Ranges play fiddles, mandolins, guitars, banjo, ukulele, harmonica and the odd kazoo, locked down with a rock solid double bass and combined with soaring harmony vocals.
The boundless enthusiasm and sheer love of the music and a myriad of great tunes results in a “good natured musical riot”.
