About Us

Rocky River Bush Band was originally formed in 1980 for the inaugural Laura Folk Fair in the Mid-North of South Australia ("...where the Rocky River flows"). The Band is actually based in the City of Onkaparinga (30-40 mins south of Adelaide) and has since developed into one of Australia's foremost folk bands, featuring some of South Australia's leading folk musicians.
