Swamp Dawkins ~ Dust Your Boots Off!

Swamp Dawkins is Australia’s Best Bush Dance & Country Dance Bushband.

Swamp Dawkins brings called barndances, bush dances, square & line dances to life with a unique modern twist to give you a night to remember! Some nights have a distinctly Australian bush dance flavour, some are American styled hoedowns & honkytonks with a rodeo, wild west or cowboy&cowgirl theme, whilst others are just a night of iconic Australian and American Country & Roadhouse music.

We’ve done hundreds of Bushdances, Barndances, Country Dances, Wild West Nights, Hoedowns and Honkytonks for Corporates, Weddings, Private Parties, Community Groups, and Pubs & Clubs.

Whether it’s your country styled wedding, a themed staff party or night for your corporate conference, a milestone birthday or a gathering for your community- we know how to make your event a success and one that your guests will be raving about for years to come!

Get in touch! Kick Up Your Heels. You won’t need to Dust off the Band to Dust off your Boots!

Private Parties & Special Events

Swamp Dawkins has played for countless 18th, 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th and even 80th birthday parties. We’ve played for anniversary celebrations. We’ve played for those celebrating their tree-change and others who’ve celebrated the opening of their new barn.

Many people celebrating such milestones want their friends to be brought together– and the nights with Swamp Dawkins do that in a unique way. We bring bush dances, barn dances & line dances to life with a unique twist by combining the dances with iconic Australian and classic American country music to deliver an unforgettable night that will have everyone on the dance floor all night long. The nights are also especially good for many of these events because they work for groups of all ages.

Corporate Events & Entertainment

Swamp Dawkins has performed for over 100 corporate clients including leading companies such as The Flight Centre, Atlassian, Commonwealth Bank, Colliers, Nestle Australia & QBE.

Most of the companies who engage us are looking for a unique themed night for their conferences or staff event- something that is highly engaging, entertaining, memorable & fun.

The nights we do are normally themed around as an American styled Country & Western night or an Australian Country Dance. The events work because they are easy and fun to theme- with plenty of options for costuming, catering & styling. They are relaxed and informal but highly energetic and engaging at the same time.

Swamp Dawkins is unique in combining classic & contemporary music that matches the theme of the night with called dances that bring everyone together. The nights are particularly successful for corporates because they have a team building aspect to them through the called dancing and no-one realises the team building aspect, until the night is over.

So whether it’s a Country & Western themed rodeo night, a hoedown, honkytonk or barndance, or a Cowboy & Cowgirl party for your next conference, staff event or corporate family day- Get in touch with Swamp Dawkins.
