John and Rick Brewster are founding members and major songwriters of the legendary Angels, one of Australia's most successful and much loved rock bands. In 2008 the renowned songwriting team Brewster/ Neeson/ Brewster was inducted into the Australian Songwriter Association (ASA) Hall of Fame. The Brewster Brothers' is a break away project which has become a vehicle for the brothers to explore their acoustic roots and early influences, these influences include jug, early blues, jazz and even some of Rick's early classical piano training. Their excellent song writing skills still take centre stage, with top class instrumental skills and arrangements.

Expanding now to The Brewster Brothers Trio with the addition of multi-instrumentalist Paul Robert Burton, the Brewster Brothers are redefining the limitations of contemporary live musical performance. In the last three years they have recorded three CD's, four video clips, played over 250 live ticket shows, over 20 national festivals, two overseas appearances and with the international release of their new studio album "Wounded Healer".

To open the show the amazing, eclectic, Broderick Smith, an outstanding singer, writer, wit and raconteur. Broderick has a wonderful way with words, can be subtle and then not so, dry and laconic, and then lines of gentle and beautiful imagery, tender and loving moments woven into his stories. He is a legendary harp player, recently sharing Backsliders harp duties with Ian Collard but more famously from his Big Combo, and the Dingoes who pioneered the Australian country rock explosion. And forget not Broderick's fabulous singing, one of the great vocals in Australian music, unique and totally identifiable.
