Last Tuesday Clubnights
25 August 2026
Chris Jacobs (vocal, guitar, mandolin) and Pete Fidler (vocal, guitar, mandolin, dobro) formed The Quarry Hillbillies duo when Pete moved to Chris’ home town of Bendigo in 2019. Both are members of traditional bluegrass band Bluestone Junction who have appeared at numerous folk and bluegrass festivals around Australia.
Chris is regarded as one of the finest singers in the Australian bluegrass scene, bringing a powerful clear interpretation of classic and new styles. Pete is an in-demand player with a special interest in dobro and other lap-slide instruments.
Chris and Pete bring a fun energy to a mix of bluegrass and country tunes that’ll get your feet tapping and your fingers twitching!
