About Midnight Chicken
Hatched and hand raised in Newcastle NSW, Midnight Chicken are quickly becoming a hot topic in the bluegrass and country circuits around Australia. Their bizarre take on bluegrass music gives birth to amazing renditions of traditional tunes, old classics as well as more modern tunes and captivating originals that are sure to be enjoyed by everyone. In their short time as a band, they have toured nationally supporting Brad Cox, performing in some of the country’s biggest regional theatres as well as at the National Folk Festival and Woodford Folk Festival. Individually, they have played with some of the Australia’s greats in the folk/country world including names such as Kasey Chambers, Phil Emmanuel, Catherine Britt, Brad Cox, Fanny Lumsden, Greg Sheehan, Julian James, Charlie & Jensen, Rod McCormack, Gina Jeffreys, Bill Chambers, Montgomery Church and many more. Inspired by the greats, the Midnight Chicken sound is somewhere between Tony Rice and 50 Cent. With hints of Hank Williams, Chris Stapleton, Punch Brothers & Tim O’Brien, Midnight Chicken are sure to please any crowd. Midnight Chicken’s debut self-titled album (2025) was featured on ABC Country radio.
