Band of winners

Tassie country rockers The Wolfe Brothers are set to hit Hallam as part of a national tour.

The group recently scooped the Australian Country Music Awards, claiming Golden Guitars for best group, song (Ain’t Seen It Yet), contemporary album and overall album of the year (Country Heart).

“It is all still sinking in,” says lead singer Nick Wolfe.

“A Golden Guitar win was high up on the bucket list we wrote up as a group way back before Australia’s Got Talent.

“To win four in one night was surreal to all three of us.”

For years the group were “weekend warriors” playing the pubs and party scene around Tasmania.

They rose to national prominence when they ran second at Australia’s Got Talent, then performed regularly live with Lee Kernaghan.

Guitarist Brodie Rainbird said the achievements crowned years of hard work and support of family and fans. worked so hard

“Without that support though the highs and the lows that we have been through as a band, I seriously doubt we would be talking about winning four Golden Guitars today.”

The Wolfe Brothers perform at Hallam Hotel on Wednesday 13 March. Tickets: oztix.com.au or 8786 0200.
