The Hillbilly Goats

Festival favourites and Golden Guitar finalists, The Hillbilly Goats are bringing their mountain music and harmonies to The Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Saturday 25 May.

Trad folk on steroids with a splash of colour and a dash of difference - these Goats have forged their own path. Their mission is to strip back the layers of modern music and transport you on a journey that began centuries ago when the immigrants first settled in the Appalachian Mountains of America.

Their recordings paint a picture of traditional songs from 1710 through to the 1940’s with a high energy quirky edge. Featuring banjo, bones, double bass, fiddle, tap dancing, three-part harmonies and stories, The Hillbilly Goats take you on a journey of mountain music’s evolution into blues, country and bluegrass.

The band members continually swap over and change positions on stage – you won’t know where to look or who to watch! You'll see Goat Girl running through the crowd rattling the bones; Goat Boy playing three instruments at once (drums with his feet, banjo in hand and harmonica on a brace); while the Goat Buster has legs that kick all the way to the sky - whilst playing fiddle flat out!
