About this event

Along with our mutual love of Western Swing Tom and the Moonee Valley Drifters have introduced me and many others to the joys and sorrows of the Louvin Brothers, Lefty Frizzell, George Jones and Brenda Lee. People even said when they played OUT ON THE WEEKEND "they bring the real roots of country to Melbourne. They bring the love of the song, a respect for the great feeling that country is capable of and the release created by dancing – all central to the origins of the music, its people’s music."The band features John ‘Dude’ Brockton on drums/vocals, Rob Grenville vocals and the Gibson, and Ian McDonald on double bass and Tom Forsell on vocals and various instruments. They also feature Gerard Rowan on steel and me on piano.The MOONEE VALLEY DRIFTERS ‘Hill & Range Music’ or BEST OF THE MOONEE VALLEY DRIFTERS VOLUMN 1 are out now a whole “Bag” of styles.So celebrate the music of Tom Forsell and the Moonee Valley Drifters.
