The Hardies Hillbillies – Ballarat Begonia Festival

Ballarat

Access info

The Hardies Hillbillies is a four-piece string band that plays old-time music distilled from the mountain dew that forms on the slopes of Hardies Hill Volcano, within a basalt stone’s throw of Mount Buninyong, where blackberry juice, turpentine, banjos and fiddles are squeezed from local stills and combine to form a mighty fine blend of old-timey music as smoky and genuine as campfire roasted chestnuts. Spine-tingling vocal harmonies and foot stomping fiddle tunes will transport you to a time when music had soul and enlighten you to life’s simple truth; that everything sounds better with a fiddle, a dobro, an old upright Bass and a banjo.

Stay In the Know

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
