High & Lonesome will be back for another Thursday night of classic covers, folk, country and bluegrass done as only they can.

The Cornhuskers will be making their debut at Port Fairy with their distinctive take on Americana roots music from Merle Travis and Doc Watson to Johnny Cash and Steve Earle, with some hot fiddle tunes thrown in for good measure.

The CornHuskers present a fresh and eclectic look at American country roots music from the 1940s and ’50s. Featuring lovely harmonies and a vibrant, stripped-back acoustic sound, this lonesome and heartbroken blend cuts straight to the quick. Performing the music of Merle Travis, Johnny Cash, Bob Wills, Hank Williams and Doc Watson, to name a few, this diverse and original acoustic group packs a real punch with both their instrumental flair and ‘straight up’ delivery!

What a scorcher – three days of high 30s heatwave. But it didn't deter the usual crowd of enthusiastic campers keen for a weekend of hillbilly mayhem at Camp Eureka near Yarra Junction in Victoria.

The High & Lonesome boys were somewhat behind the eight ball, having played a gig the night before the camp, but we had some quiet camp site sessions with our younger lads, a somewhat rowdier Friday late night session in the main hall, and a fantastic session with people from Ad Hoc, Red and The Horny Toads. Check out the accompanying recording of Psycho Killer from the Saturday night session – a riotous assembly of players and enthusiastic audience at Herc's camp site.
