We're salvaging the lost songs of early white-settlement Australia.  The Drongo and the Crow delivers a high-energy musical tour through the seedy underbelly of the convict towns and along the rivers, roads and rails that reached deeper into Australia. We showcase colorful turn-of-the century characters like Little Lon Nancy, the toast of Melbourne's red-light district; Richard Hyde, press-ganged from Sydney's Hero of Waterloo Hotel; and notorious Brunswick enforcer William Buck.

If murder and mayhem aren't your thing, we have a full repertoire of classic Australian bush tunes.  We'll click your shears and waltz your Matildas until the cows come home. And speaking of cows, we even have a kids' show full of action songs and fun animals. 

A Drongos' show is a delicious stew of early Australian colonial songs (and a few contemporary favorites), with a side-order of history* to explain the context of the song. Voices mellowed by Vegemite and cheap rum blend with accordion, drums, bass, violin, mandolin and autoharp to bring new life to old songs.  You'll sing, you'll laugh, you'll learn a little.  You might even try a bit of interpretive dance.
