notes

Sublime & ridiculous! Naught is safe around the Lawnmowers.....they keep the audience(and each other) on tippy toes with a high-voltage selection of bluegrass classics, spiced up with beautifully composed contemporary acoustic pieces. Home-grown Australian ‘newgrass’ at its best!

Formed in 2003, The Lawnmowers have quickly established themselves as a force in Australian bluegrass, performing at over twenty festivals and recording two albums. Three times national banjo champ Dave Hellens and veteran all-rounder Andrew Clermont (Totally Gourdgeous, Dya Singh, join with acoustic guitarist Robbie Long (Kate Fagan Band), well known and loved bassist & vocalist Liz Frencham (JigZag) and internationally recognised harmonica player Tony Eyers, to create a distinctively contemporary Australian bluegrass sound. Selections from the classic bluegrass repertoire are treated with reverence, yet given a ‘fresh coat’ with contemporary arrangements.

The Lawnmowers’ original material reflects the band’s creative energy & musical diversity ~ from the traditional to the edgy, from the hard driving to the lush & spacious. On stage, The Lawnmowers have a rare energy and spontaneity, which is supported by superb musicianship and a genuine sense of fun & excitement. Come and sample some home-grown Aussie ‘newgrass’ at its best!
