Blistering bluegrass, beautiful ballads, and brutal family banter — Haystack Mountain Hermits are a multi-award-winning bluegrass-folk family band known for exceptional musicianship, blood harmonies, and storytelling delivered with heart and humour. Placing third in the People’s Choice at the 2024 Australian Folk Music Awards and earning a Top 3 People’s Choice spot at the 2025 Gold Coast Music Awards — alongside Artist of the Year finalist honours — the Hermits have quickly become festival favourites across Australia. Their high-energy performances blend driving rhythms, virtuosic solos, and internationally recognised songwriting with the unmistakable chemistry only family can bring. Performing around a single vintage condenser microphone, they capture the raw, old-time spirit of bluegrass and folk while delivering a fresh, contemporary edge. Their live shows are as celebrated for musical precision as for their unpredictable, laugh-out-loud moments on stage. With their latest EP Homemade Jam, Haystack Mountain Hermits reimagine traditional favourites through close harmonies, dynamic interplay, and a distinctly Australian acoustic lens — warm, lively, and just a little mischievous.
