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!
Saturday Mar 10 – 4.45 pm – The Lighthouse Cafe
Sunday Mar 11 – Noon – St Pats Hall – Seagrass and Oldtime session
Sunday Mar 11 – 5.30 pm – The Lighthouse Cafe
