The revered country duo, comprised of brothers Nick and Tom Wolfe, have become renowned over the past few years for their jaw-dropping live shows and slow-but-steady ascent to Australian country music’s upper echelon.
The Wolfe Brothers will be supported by Pete Cornelius. Pete’s style is difficult to describe but is steeped in heartfelt blues, greasy funk & soul with Americana overtones. His authentic sound and original songwriting is unique to Pete and does not disappoint.
Clinton Hutton has supported The Wolfe Brothers at previous gigs, and we are excited to have him join us for this event. Clinton is a singer-guitarist-songwriter-producer Clinton has a strong reputation for being a quality high energy entertainer.
