Rufous Whistler is a bold force in folk—raw, energetic, and unforgettable. Blending alt-country, bluegrass, and modern folk storytelling, the live show delivers high-energy performances, soaring harmonies, and moments of deep, unfiltered connection.

2025 sees the band riding the wave of our debut album (released March 2025), having toured 50 dates across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond, with standout performances at Tussock Country Music Festival (NZ), Coondoo Mountain Festival (QLD), Yackandandah Folk Festival (VIC), Brunswick Music Festival (VIC), and more. With sold-out shows and international radio play already under our belt, we can’t wait to bring our sound to Dorrigo—where great music, deep tradition, and a strong folk community always come together in the best way.
