William Alexander, Charlotte Le Lievre and the Ironbark Brothers join forces for an intimate evening of ballads and Australian country and western music.

Cattle camp crooner and balladeer, William Alexander sings with a true heart. William, who makes his living as a stockman in the Central West region of NSW, sings with a maturity beyond his years. Having learned to sing harmonies in church with his father, music has always been in his blood. His strong voice and guitar playing, partnered with his life and experience working the land and livestock, make the magic in his ballads all the more authentic. William's 2024 record 'The Singing Stockmen' debuted at #2 on the AIR 100% Independent album charts and was an ABC country feature album.

With her lilting voice and timeless sensibilities, Charlotte Le Lievre makes music that hits the heart in the unique tradition of classic country songwriters. Her songs strive to connect with the authenticity of human experience, navigating grief, joy and collective struggle. Drawing upon an array of early country and folk styles, Charlotte and band wholeheartedly pay homage to the origins of this music, whilst offering up insightful commentary on contemporary dilemmas. Charlotte's debut album 'Songs from the Barrier Line' (2023) was nominated for Best Country Work at the 2023 Music Victoria Awards and Contemporary Folk Music Album of the Year at the 2023 Australian Folk Music Awards.

Twin singin’ hillbilly wonders; The Ironbark Brothers retell the stories of yesteryear. They have quietly carved out a niche within contemporary Australian country music, as they take on the bush ballads and western folk tunes that once shaped the nation's musical identity. Expect harmonies, yodelling and harp blowing, as they share their songs and stories.
