"Two families (one just immigrating from New Zealand, the other from Bairnsdale, Victoria) meet at the Tamworth Country Music Festival in 1988. From there, their lives become intertwined when the siblings Anthony and Michelle Stewart married brother and sister, Tracy and Steven Sherrah. Now both couples live in Adelaide, have families and continue to sing together. Combining their love for country and gospel music, this extremely popular and successful South Australian Country Music family bring a unique blend of harmonies and acoustic style to their performances."

The Sherrahs' new gospel-tinged album Built on Stone is out now, and in this interview Walshy gets the lowdown from Michelle.

For over a decade, Brad Butcher kept his voice and his songs largely to himself, privately honing a singer/songwriter style that mixes the working class grit of Springsteen with the tender expression of Ray LaMontagne.

In 2012, he released his acclaimed self-tilted debut album, which earned him nominations for a range of Australian and international songwriting and artist development awards. His second album Jamestown, recorded in New Jersey, Jamestown around themes of travel and the contrasting lifestyle of a fly-in fly-out worker who always has home in his heart and a guitar close to hand. Hear Brad in conversation with Walshy below.
