Whangateau Folk in June - Full Concert with Rufous Whistler

Whangateau Folk in June - Full Concert with Rufous Whistler

Thu 05 Jun 2025, 6:45 AM - 9:45 AM

Whangateau Hall, 533 Leigh Road, Leigh

June brings a very special treat with alt-country and folk band Rufous Whistler from Australia performing a full concert on Thursday, the 5th of June. 


Tickets are $20 and pre-booking is highly recommended for this exciting event.  


Rufous Whistler’s debut album, National Panic, debuted at #2 on the ARIA Country charts in March 2025 and was named ABC Country’s Feature Album of the Week.


With international airplay, a fervent live show, and a growing fan base, the band’s blend of folk and alt-country is resonating deeply with audiences.


Hailing from Northeast Victoria (Wiradjuri Country), Rufous Whistler combines raw storytelling with modern alt-country arrangements, reminiscent of I’m With Her’s harmonies, Gillian Welch’s storytelling, and the energy of Trampled by Turtles.


The band is touring extensively across Australia and New Zealand in 2025.


This is alt-country music that hits home and leaves you wanting more.
