Multi-award-winning Haystack Mountain Hermits, based in SE Qld, is a band like no other. Fast growing on the Australian festival circuit, they delight audiences with their trademark blood harmonies, astonishing instrumental skills, captivating arrangements of traditional and original music and hilarious stage banter. Their music attracts young and not-so-young audiences who say the band’s onstage joy is contagious.

“Every song mesmerising”

“They are brilliant”

“The best show I’ve seen … and I’ve seen many!”

The family started busking in 2011 as they travelled around Australia for seven months. The kids learnt to play instruments in the back of the van as they travelled. The band soon collected busking trophies and national titles, including Australian Busking Champions and Tamworth Busking Champions.

They’ve been invited to play major Australian festivals including Woodford, Tamworth, Groundwater, Gympie Muster, Illawarra, and National Folk Festival and they were honoured with the “Festival Find” title at Illawarra in January.

Currently working on an original album, the Hermits look forward to sharing their new music with you somewhere down the track.
