On Monday from 10.30am to 12pm, the Howie Brothers, twins John and Graeme, will be at the Tenterfield Golf Club to entertain you.
It has been some years since they played in Tenterfield and it’s a great honour to have them playing and singing here, as the closest other show on their tour is at least two hours’ travel from Tenterfield.
Proceeds from the show will be given to the Tenterfield Community Care for Patients Committee. This committee raises funds for the care and comfort of patients at the local hospital.
This will be a show you should not miss and there are plenty of songs that you will sing along to. The cost is just $10 per head and can be paid for on entry.
John and Graeme are one of Australia’s leading country music/easy listening acts. They have been performing and recording for more than 30 years and are renowned for their distinctive vocal harmony sound.
They play a variety of instruments (including piano, guitar, accordion, mandolin, ukulele and drums) and are keen songwriters.
Originally, as the band 1901, the Howie Brothers won golden guitar awards at the Australasian Country Music Awards in Tamworth, including two group of the year awards (1980 and 1982).
The Howie Brothers have recorded more than 20 albums and are based in Melbourne, but perform throughout Australia.
It has often been said that the Howie Brothers have a “sound of their own”. However, their music could accurately be described as being Australian country, with a blue grass, Irish/Scottish, easy listening, sing-along type influence.
They also like to incorporate a few funny yarns into their shows. As John says, “Good music and a few laughs is a winning combination.”
