Dust Your Boots Off & Kick Up Your Heels with Swamp Dawkins. Australia’s Best Bush Band!


Are we really Australia’s Best Bush Band?

Don’t listen to me. Listen to the people we’ve played for and their testimonials!


What makes us different?

There’s a few things that set us apart from other bush bands.

Pretty much every bush band around the country is close to 1,000 years old and come from folk backgrounds– now there’s nothing wrong with that… but it’s not us. To put it simply: You won’t need to dust off the band to dust off your boots.

We’re High Energy & Professional.

When we do all the traditional called bushdances, barndances & line dances- we play them in a contemporary energetic & engaging style that gets everyone involved. The musicians in Swamp Dawkins are professional musicians with rock/ contemporary music backgrounds which brings a unique energy and style to all the events we play for.

We’re Flexible.

We have a wide repertoire of music- from iconic Australian artists, to American Country hits and great party music- that we seamlessly blend in with the traditional dances throughout the night.

We’re not a 1-trick pony. We’re flexible- whether it’s an iconic Australian Bushdance or an American themed hoedown, honkytonk or wild west party– we’ve got it covered. And we have plenty of other musical things going on with The Roadhouse Regulars, Nashville Nights feat. The TailGators and other projects under Michael Buining – Musician.

We’ve done hundred’s & hundred’s of events.

We play 40-50 events every year so we are well tuned. Check out our Gig Guide to see what we’ve done over the past few years and what’s coming up.

We know how to make your event a success.
