About

THE YEARLINGS

Recreating their 2010 album, Sweet Runaway in full, with BJ Barker on Drums and Mark Seddon on Bass Guitar.

BIO

Quiet, intimate, raw and powerful, producing a new strain of acoustic music, distilling Americana through the filter of distinctly Australian life.

Working together as The Yearlings for over 20 years, the duo have achieved a lot, including recently being awarded 'ROOTS ALBUM OF THE YEAR 2023' by the Adelaide Blues & Roots Association with their 2023 release “Luck”, mixed by Chris Shaw in Austin TX (Bob Dylan, Sheryl Crow) and produced by Lucie Thorne, recorded at Mixmasters Studios in Adelaide by Mick Wordley.

They have recorded six studio albums to date and one live record.

Their album “Highway Dancing” was recorded in New York in 2008 and was produced by the New York Guitar Festival Director David Spelman and included artists such as Larry Campbell (Grammy Award winner and guitar player for the likes of Bob Dylan and Levon Helm), and Ollabelle (New York City roots band.)

The Yearlings have made numerous festival appearances at home and abroad, including playing shows across Europe and the USA, performances at the New York Guitar Festival, opening for the Punch Brothers at the Adelaide Guitar Festival, the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville and the famous Cohen Club in Verona, Italy.

Reviewers have captured the essence of their music describing it as 'unhurried, breathing, spacious and warm' (Marty Jones, Rhythms Magazine), 'There is an almost indescribable musical lexicon that surrounds a Yearlings' performance, and it is one that can barely be described, it must be seen and heard for oneself.'
