From the crucible of infamous Brisbane West End music venue The Burrow comes The Borough, four bluegrass obsessives ready to bend your brain with blisteringly fast precision picking, blended harmonies and a serious helping of fun. The Borough are a four piece bluegrass band from Brisbane who play bluegrass. You read that right – Bluegrass, not “bluegrass” (where traditional instruments are relegated to fashion accessories): Bluegrass with a capital ‘B’; played as it was meant to be played – with banjo, fiddle, guitar, mandolin, bass fiddle and four voices around a single microphone. The band: Paul Henderson – banjo (Estampa, The Shining Hour). Marcus Church – guitar, vocals (The Inadequates, Haystack Mountain Hermits), Lucy ‘The Hammer’ Kammerman – Fiddle, Markus Karlsen – bass (Present Company, The Company, CO2), Innes Campbell – mandolin, vocals (Present Company, Zumpa).
