The Rechords plus Benny & the Flyby Niters
A celebration of Fathers past and present and how they have shaped our lives with a Roots music tribute through the sounds of Rhythm & Blues, Country and Rockabilly and all that creates the foundation of music as we now know. Two of Melbourne’s finest come together in this one-off special event. The Rechords who will take you on a journey with original tracks and obscure early covers incorporating traditional Country, Rockabilly, 60’s Vocal groups and occasional ‘pop’ vibes, a straight-up trio sans drums but with powerful harmonies that will warm you up for the Rhythm & Blues twang of Benny & the Flyby Niters beating out the whaling sax and killer guitar licks of the dirtiest of early R&B. Head on down to the esteemed surroundings of the Brunswick Ballroom on Sunday 3rd September for this matinee event with doors opening from 1pm.
Benny & The Flyby Niters:
Benny & the Flybyniters have been a stalwart of the Melbourne roots music scene since 1999.

Backing the likes of Lazy Lester, Big Jay McNeely, Ska/Bluebeat great Owen Gray, to name few, Benny & the Flybyniters have always been the go to band in Australia for your Rhythm & Blues fix.
The Rechords:
A dynamic trio on stage, The Rechords don’t disappoint when it comes to doing what they do best. Demonstrating a passion for the love of all things Americana when it comes to the music they deliver, whether it be celebrating the songs of artists that have influenced their journey or putting their all into the songs they’ve created with the flavours of early Country, Rhythm & Blues, Rockabilly and Alt Country. They have chosen the stripped back lineup of instruments being Guitars and Upright Bass and letting the flood of sweet 3 part harmony and multiple lead vocals create the fullness that has become the distinct sound they are known for. In the 13 years they been together they have managed to perform over 500 shows in many venues and festivals throughout Australia not to mention completing 3 successful European Tours in 2011, 2013 and 2018 so let your ears be the judge.
The rechords put on a fantastic show. Always a pleasure to be at the Brunswick ballroom. Very easy and smooth entry with onthehouse tickets. Food and drinks all good and reasonable prices
