The Water Runners
Bluegrass-infused Australian folk music
The Water Runners blend Australian folk with bluegrass, traditional folk, and country, creating rich storytelling that’s heartfelt, fun, and rooted in the landscapes of Kiama on Dharawal Country.
Fresh from Tamworth Country Music Festival 2026, they won the Country Blues category for Viking, National Songwriter of the Year for Last Train from Central, and Music Excellence for their video Shelter. They’ve also been Runners-Up, 2025 People’s Choice Award (Folk Alliance Australia) and winners of Best Band at the National Busking Championships.
Engaging, award-winning, and authentically Australian — come along for the ride!

Glenn Cardier
In the 70’s, Australian singer-songwriter & guitarist Glenn Cardier produced three albums of highly original folk/rock songs. He played the first two Sunbury festivals and worked with the likes of Frank Zappa, Spike Milligan, and Fairport Convention. He wrote songs for Olivia Newton-John. He broke through in the tough UK folk circuit.
His hard-strumming, quirky onstage persona was always at odds with his recorded work and through the 80’s and 90’s Cardier’s recording career stalled and he became increasingly reclusive. He surfaced occasionally – as front man for the Sydney pub band The Bel-Aires as well as playing rockabilly on his ’59 Gretsch around the Central Coast of New South Wales.
Post 2000, Glenn Cardier’s re-emergence as a songwriter & performer of real distinction has been nothing short of extraordinary. In typical single-minded fashion, he writes, performs and produces his music from his adobe home studio on the Hawksbury River, north of Sydney. Cardier usually plays all the instruments on his CDs.
Onstage, there are the trademark flashes of dark humour in his songs of stark beauty and thumping rockabilly/blues. There’s a touch of Beefheart in his voice, a hint of Cohen in the lyrics, a pinch of Elvis here and there.
But underlying it all are the songs. Happy/sad songs. Sweet/crazy songs. Cardier songs.

Rufous Whistler
Rufous Whistler’s first album, National Panic, debuted at #2 on the ARIA Country charts in March 2025 and earned itself best debut album nomination from Folk Alliance Australia, as well as ABC Country’s Feature Album of the Week. With international airplay, a gripping live show, and a strong grassroots fan base from their love of being on the road, the band’s blend of folk and alt-country is resonating deeply with audiences.
Hailing from Northeast Victoria (Wiradjuri Country), Rufous Whistler combines raw storytelling with modern alt-country arrangements, reminiscent of I’m With Her’s harmonies, Gillian Welch’s storytelling, and the energy of Trampled by Turtles.
The band is touring extensively across Australia and New Zealand in 2025 / 2026. This is alt-country music that hits home and leaves you wanting more.
“As he sings about the delicate balance of holding onto and letting go of what’s most important, the super tasteful backing from the rest of the band carries him along with a graceful folk-rock sway.”
