An acoustic story-teller, Trevor’s gentle mix of melodic folk and soft rock tells tales of a life lived to the full in a relaxing country style. Let the gentle melodies and mellow vocal talents of Trevor Joyce become the background for your best Benalla Rural City life.
DIRTY RATS
Dirty Rats are an Aussie pub rock band, playing beer barns and inner city clubs throughout Melbourne and country Victoria. Over the last 30 years, the band have developed a sound that is typically Australian hard rock, think AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, but listen closely and influences from MC5, Motorhead and even some punk rock can be heard. They have developed a loyal fanbase both here and overseas based on their critically acclaimed first album, Rock n Roll, amazing follow up album, End in Tears and high energy shows purely for the enjoyment of playing loud “balls to the wall” rock. The Dirty Rats acoustic line up that will be performing at Moorngag, comprises original rat, Jamie Beovich and Wayne Rich playing acoustic versions of their greatest hits. If you like your rock loud, hard and old school, Dirty Rats are the band for you.
THE COUNTERFEITS
A local youth 3 piece grunge/alternative rock band based in North-East Victoria. Influenced by bands such as Silverchair, Alice in chains, Nirvana and Violent Soho.
The music stage is supported by the Australian Government’s Arts and Cultural Development Program, Regional Arts Australia and Regional Arts Victoria.
