Out on the weekend, all year round.
Australia has been making serious country and Americana since long before the rest of the world noticed (Slim Dusty, Paul Kelly, Kasey Chambers). Today's scene is anchored by Out On The Weekend in Melbourne and a thriving alt-country circuit from Brisbane to Adelaide.
Out On The Weekend is the keystone festival; the Tamworth Country Music Festival is the mainstream sibling.
