Gorgeous harmonies, heartbreaking melodies and all the fiddle, banjo and guitar your heart aches for!

Come join Corn Nut Creek & Kimberley Wheeler's Roadside Holiday for an intimate evening of original Americana and Folk music from songstresses Danielle Vita, Tanya Bradley and Kimberley Wheeler.

Corn Nut Creek is a story of two women from different sides of the world on a journey of self-discovery through music. The indie folk duo features Tanya Bradley's banjo paired with Danielle Vita's fiddle and vocals - an ensemble greater than the sum of its parts. Their brand-new single Trails of Truth is a progression from their Americana and bluegrass roots that signals an evolution of the band. In 2020, their song 'Nowhere to Go' was in the 'Juror's Top Five' and was a category finalist in Blues & Roots Radio's International Song Contest. They are planning to release their first full album in October 2022, followed by an Australian tour.

Kimberley Wheeler has the uncanny knack of being able to find the right note and the right turn of phrase in the creation and performing of her music. From a classical beginning, this award-winning songwriter came to acoustic roots music along a winding trail through grunge metal, bluegrass and Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks. With a voice described as Celtic Chocolate, she is often compared to singers such as Linda Thompson, Linda Ronstadt and Gillian Welch. Her luscious vocals and gritty songs underpin the band's acoustic folk pedigree. Kimberley's late discovery of Tim O'Brien's, Red On Blonde (a take on Bob Dylan), opened an explosive portal to the folk universe that has directed her ever since. Variously, she has been a member of all-star bluegrass outfit, Uncle Bill, played with Dan Hicks and now has her own band, Roadside Holiday. In 2017 she instigated and curated the all Aussie, Women in String Bands, CD, has been President of Australian Bluegrass & Old Time Association and presently sits on the Musicians Australia Leadership Committee. She is a current finalist in Tamworth Songwriters Association Awards.
