March 1st. 2026 – Dave Diprose and Hillbilly Radio Award-winning songwriter Dave Diprose’s music draws from personal experience, a family history of life on the land, and the lives of those around him. His songs paint vivid pictures of rural landscapes and stories from a bygone era. His style has been described as a meeting of Steve Earle and Norman Blake. Dave performs with Hillbilly Radio including long-time collaborator Darryl Thompson (Dobro, guitar, vocals), Greg Hunt (Fiddle,) and fellow Nile Mile Creek foundation members Andrew Barcham (Bass) and Mark Pottenger (Mandolin & vocals), together creating a warm and dynamic sound. With decades of live performance under his belt, including festival stages and support slots for international acts, Dave and the Band bring depth, professionalism, and heart to every show. Great songs, great stories and great musicianship. |
