Rhiz & The Sugarplums bring honkytonk triple bill to Brunswick Ballroom

words by staff writer

Boots, twang and a brand-new record; this one's got Brunswick Ballroom dancefloor written all over it.

Grab your best boots, because Rhiz & The Sugarplums are heading back to Brunswick Ballroom for the launch of their sophomore record.

The Victorian honkytonk five-piece will unveil All Over Again, an album recorded all the way in Nashville, Tennessee, alongside two supporting acts that promise to keep the two-stepping going well into the night.

Frontwoman Rhiz (Rhiannon McArthur) leads the charge with big vocals and even bigger personality, backed by Pete Daffy, Jordy Hickey, Pete Fidler and Dean Muller on the Sugarplums side of things.

It’s a proper triple-header too. The Country & Western Ramblers will open the night, warming up the room before Rhiz & The Sugarplums take over with cuts from the new record.

Closing things out is Peter Baylor’s Hank Williams Tribute Show, paying homage to the genre’s most legendary figure and sending the crowd home sweaty and satisfied.

Doors and the kitchen open early, so there’s plenty of time to grab a feed and a drink before the music kicks off.

Rhiz & The Sugarplums first turned heads with their debut record, drawing on the trailblazing women of country roots music for inspiration.

This follow-up, recorded overseas, sees the band leaning further into their retro-country roots while sharpening their sound with a grooving rhythm section and plenty of twang.

Expect heart, humour and heat in equal measure, with a setlist built to get even the most reluctant dancers up and moving.
