RHIZ and THE SUGARPLUMS:
Rhiz (Rhiannon McArthur) & The Sugarplums (Pete Daffy, Jordy Hickey & Mandy Keating) are a four-piece rockabilly/honky tonk band based in Ballarat, Camperdown and Melbourne (VIC). Releasing their entirely original 12-track debut album in May this year, Rhiz & The Sugarplums manage to revive a genre of music from a long-gone era, capturing a rare, nostalgic groove that's hard to resist. Cleverly written songs, powerful vocals, funky bass lines, irresistible rhythms and a whole lotta twangy guitar; an enormous sound from this versatile, high-energy four-piece band

-Telstra road to Tamworth finalist
-ANZ singer/songwriter of the year 2005-Semi-finalist Tamworth singer/songwriters Association
-Inaugural SA country artist of the year
While her roots are in country music, Penny has been developing and honing her amazing and memorable voice to a point where she can handle almost any style of music. Her influences include Reba McEntire, Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton, Crystal Gale, Norah Jone, April Smith and Wendy Phypers. Having being born and bred in Cloncurry Qld as a station kid, lived and worked on potato farms in Pinnaroo SA, Penny is very familiar with living the country life. Although now residing Ballarat, as the old saying goes, “You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl” certainly rings true for Penny. This year has seen Penny honing her song writing skills with the anticipation of recording with many of her musician friends from South Australia and Victoria. It’s a case of watch this space.
