“A masterclass in bluegrass” Sean Sennett, The Australian

“The Brisbane-based quartet is at the pinnacle of the Australian acoustic country scene.” David Costello, Courier Mail

“Fantastic! … This band is raising the bar for acoustic musicians in Australia” 3-time Golden Guitar winner, Hamish Davidson of the Davidson Brothers

Boasting two Australian Bluegrass champions on guitar, fiddle and banjo, The Company have a passion for high-energy original and traditional acoustic music. The playing and singing is crisp, melodic and soulful. In concert you witness the band’s virtuosity but also a wry humour and engaging camaraderie. Highly regarded for their originality, they’ve appeared at major music festivals around Australia (Port Fairy, Woodford, Tamworth Country Music Festival, Queensland Music Festival, National Folk Festival, Mountain Grass Festival etc) and the UK (Hebridean Celtic Music Festival, Belladrum Music Festival) and have been featured on local ABC radio and ABC Radio National.

The Company includes George Jackson (Fiddle/Banjo), Michael Patrick (Mandolin/Fiddle), Markus Karlsen (Bass) and Jamie Clarke (Guitar).
