The High Street Drifters at Pearces Creek Hall

Award-winning Australian bluegrass band The High Street Drifters bring their energetic live show to Pearces Creek Hall for an unforgettable evening of music.

Hailing from Victoria, the band blends the vibrant sound of traditional bluegrass with a distinctly Australian flavour. Led by mandolinist Justin Vilchez and guitarist Daniel Watkins, and backed by some of the country's finest fiddle, banjo and bass players, The High Street Drifters are renowned for their rich vocal harmonies, outstanding musicianship and heartfelt songwriting.

Their self-titled debut EP earned the 2025 Australian Folk Music Awards (AFMA) Debut Album of the Year, while their single Back to the Hills received a CMAA Golden Guitar nomination for Bluegrass Recording of the Year. Recent releases, Words for Leaving and Snakes Reach, have continued their success with further Golden Guitar nominations.

Snacks will be available for purchase at the hall. Visitors can enjoy dinner beforehand at the nearby Eltham Hotel, just five minutes away, or grab a pizza from Il Carretto at Bexhill Hall before the show.

A wonderful night of exceptional live music in one of the Northern Rivers' much-loved community halls.
