Their debut album "Between Last Night And Us" was released in February 2006 to outstanding reviews and ultimately won an ARIA award for Best Folk/Roots release.
To compliment the bevy of renowned international musicians also performing will be some of Australia’s younger talented musicians already on their way to unimaginable careers: CW Stoneking, Jackie Marshall, Liz Stringer, Bill Jackson and Floyd Thursby,
