The New Worlds Touring

by | 18 Aug, 2012

We have just received news that USA bluegrass band The New Worlds will be returning to Australia in October this year. The members of The New Worlds  are some of the hottest young players in the USA currently and will be in Australia for a limited time performing at a few festivals.  The band is seeking to fill a few free dates while in Sydney between Monday the 15th and Thursday the 18th of October and are looking to organise a Sydney performace before they head to the JamGrass Festival in Melbourne, then a short tour of NZ before playing at the Dorrigo Folk and Bluegrass Festival.

Here’s an opportunity for someone to take up the challenge and present this young band at your local hotel, a house concert or even a gig in the local hall.

Below is some information regarding The New Worlds and this link to some recently some of their recorded tracks.

The New Worlds consist of: David Goldenberg: mandolin, Shelby Means: bass/vocals, Frank Rische: vocals/guitar, Christian Sedelmyer: fiddle/vocals. They are an American string band rooted in bluegrass, old time, and classic country music with a folk rock undertone. They will be touring Australia and New Zealand in October 2012.

Touring with The New Worlds will be support act  featuring George Jackson on fiddle and banjo, and guitarist and singer Daniel Watkins. See their YouTube clip below.

Grounded in tradition and drawing on influences of Bluegrass, Celtic and Jazz, George Jackson and Daniel Watkins have a style that is distinctively Australian. George Jackson, the Golden Fiddle ‘Best Fiddler as a Soloist’ of 2012 and three time Australian Bluegrass Champion joins Daniel Watkins, the man known around Australia as the
go-to guy for Bluegrass Guitar and for his passionate strong lead vocals.
