‘A FAMILY AFFAIR’ starring THE CARTRIDGE FAMILY & THE STETSON FAMILY
After many late nights sharing harmony-filled jam sessions at festivals
around the country, two of Melbourne’s fun faves, The Cartridge Family
and The Stetson Family, are joining forces for a double bill of epic
proportions.
The Cartridge Family, SARAH CARROLL, sister SUZANNAH ESPIE, wayward son
RUSTY BERTHER and second cousins GREG FIELD and NICKY DEL REY, give a
sincere musical nod to early country groups like the Carter Family and
the Delmore Brothers, and also bring a stack of foot stomping, fun
original songs such as _Hipster Bogan_, _Beerijuana_, _Dickheads with
Guns_ and _There Ain’t No Facebook in Heaven_. Their three-part
harmonies and two-part jokes add up to one hell of a good time!
THE STETSON FAMILY walk the line between alt-country and Bluegrass.
Their collection of original free-wheeling songs are infused with lush
harmonies as they traverse mountains and valleys, journeying down
life’s crooked highway. The Stetsons have established themselves
internationally, appearing on U.S. Roots and Americana Charts and
garnering stellar reviews in the UK and Europe. _"They blend like one of
the legendary bluegrass or country families._” American Songwriter,
Los Angeles
