The High Street Drifters are a bluegrass band from Victoria carving out a distinctive place in the Australian music landscape. Led by mandolinist Justin Vilchez and guitarist Daniel Watkins, the band features a rotating cast of some of the country’s finest bluegrass musicians on fiddle, banjo, and bass. Together, they deliver the drive and energy of modern bluegrass while staying true to the places they've grown.
Known for their rich harmonies, breakneck instrumentals, and heartfelt songwriting, The High Street Drifters bring a fresh and unmistakably Australian voice to the genre.
Their 2024 self-titled debut EP firmly established them on the national scene, with the standout single Back to the Hills earning a 2025 CMAA Golden Guitar nomination for Bluegrass Recording of the Year. The release was followed by a packed run of festival appearances across the country.
