Direct from the US via the National Folk Festival to Ferntree Gully,
The Western Flyers are one of the most exciting new bands to glide onto the 
music scene in years. Their music is a distinctive cross section of the 
Great American Songbook: authentic Western swing, hot jazz and swing 
standards, cowboy songs and electrifying old-time fiddle tunes.  
Internationally renowned guitar master Joey McKenzie drives the train with 
his powerful rhythm, while reigning National Swing Fiddle champion 
Katie Glassman and world-class upright bassist Gavin Kelso add fuel to the fire. 
A blending of tradition and innovation, The Western Flyers are a singular musical 
experience; a fresh take on a venerable American art form performed by three 
virtuosos of the genre. With international tours under their belt and debut album 
reaching #1 on the FAR / American roots charts, they are a band in full swing.
