Produced by Holy Holy’s Oscar Dawson, The Great Divide is in contention for Contemporary Album of the Year and the duo are up for Country Music Capital News Group or Duo of the Year. The album continues to gain accolades, most recently including two Golden Guitar Nominations.
Busby Marou have gained the reputation as one of Australia’s hardest working live bands best known for their distinctly Australian storytelling and gifted musicianship. Onstage a key element is the intertwining of vocal interplay of two life long mates. A point of difference for the duo is the energy they put into touring regional Australia loving the live experience as much of Country beer barn as a slick inner city theatre. This tour has been no different and will showcase the bands ever growing catalogue of singalong tracks, with fans quickly connecting to the new album already.
