The Australian Bluegrass Conference has welcomed Mustered Courage to the faculty for 2018.
ARIA nominated Mustered Courage breathe new life into the Australian roots music scene with a diverse sound that appeals to both traditionalists and newcomers alike. Since the release of their self-titled debut album in 2011, the Melbourne based outfit have become the torch bearers for string band music here in Australia.

The progressive folk-rock quintet blasted on to the national music scene when their second album, Powerlines, garnered two Golden Guitar nominations and a live performance at the 2014 CMAA Country Music Awards in Tamworth. This led to a collaboration with Kasey Chambers on the song Rosa which was included on the album’s American release.
This year’s 4-day Bluegrass Conference will feature two fantastic bands, as well of course as special guest Russ and Glenn Carson from the USA.
The updated faculty now comprises:
