A night of reimagined old time & Australiana music.
BROKEN CREEK ‘YEAH NAH’ ALBUM LAUNCH
Broken Creek weave compelling musical reimaginings of Australiana for banjo, guitar, fiddle and voice that tell stories from Australia’s past and present.
Erin and Lachlan Heycox grew up in rural Victoria steeped in bushbands and balladeers. Named for the creek Erin grew up near on Yorta Yorta Country, ‘Broken Creek’ signals a love of country and traditional folk with an adventurous musical bent to “break” with the conventional.
Broken Creek’s new album ‘Yeah Nah’ features songs about small-town Australia, tunes inspired by the land and subversive interpretations of traditional Australian songs.
DOUBLE DOLE STRINGBAND
Double Dole Stringband is an old-time band from Melbourne who perform with a raucous gentleness and bring a modern and interesting take on traditional music with mandolin, guitar, fiddle and banjo. In 2023, their original tunes were awarded first place at the internationally renowned 38 Appalachian Stringband Festival (Clifftop).
CORN NUT CREEK
Corn Nut Creek puts their own spin on Appalachian music with their evocative original songs that combine lush harmonies with intricate clawhammer banjo playing and a lilting fiddle. Expect to hear both powerful, transporting songs and toe-tapping fiddle and banjo!

Broken Creek Biography
Drawing on Old Time Americana and Celtic traditions, Broken Creek creates intricate chamber folk arrangements for banjo, guitar, violin and voice that reimagines songs, stories and musical traditions from the past to connect them to our present moment.
Lachlan Heycox (guitar/banjo/mandolin/percussion) and Erin Heycox (vocals/fiddle) grew up in rural Victoria steeped in bushbands and balladeers before moving to Melbourne.
Named for the creek Erin grew up near, the name Broken Creek signals a love of traditional folk music with an adventurous musical bent to “break” with the same old ways of playing folk music. “I love traditional folk songs but I’m sick of singing about murdered women” says frontwoman Erin.
2022 sees them releasing their debut album ‘Small Town Anthropologies’ and launching a national Small Town Tour that includes pop-up choirs, church halls, folk festivals and recording tunes in gorgeous locations.
“Small Town Anthropologies is an impressive debut, drawing on a variety of folk and old-time traditional material, showcasing over the ten tracks a tasteful blend of original material and covers of songs from England, Scotland, Ireland and America...This is not just an orthodox outing though, rather Broken Creek provide some fresh and keen observations and treatment to keep the listener engaged.” Rob Dickens, Listening Through the Lens
