Chris Jacobs is one of Australia's finest bluegrass singers and has a natural ability to emulate the “high-lonesome” vocals the genre is known for. Combining his vocals with a driving, solid rhythm guitar, Chris is an integral part of the exciting music Bluestone Junction is known for. Previously a member of the Canberra based Department of Bluegrass, Chris went on to front Melbourne’s Hardrive. Chris plays a Gallacher guitar, hand made by Joe Gallacher in New South Wales, Australia. |

Mick Harrison is one of the most respected and talented people in Bluegrass. Mick’s banjo playing is in the style of his heroes, JD Crowe and the great Earl Scruggs. Mick was the original banjo player with Melbourne’s Hardrive and is now enjoying adding the unmistakable sound of the five string banjo to Bluestone Junction. Mick’s banjo of choice is the Stelling Crusader (made for him by Geoff Stelling in the USA) and is likely to be the only one of its kind in Australia. |
