They perform original songs about small-town Australia, tunes inspired by the land and subversive interpretations of post-colonial bushballads. Named for the creek Erin grew up near, ‘Broken Creek’ signals a love of traditional folk music with an adventurous musical bent to “break” with the same old ways of playing folk music. Broken Creek share their music and stories with audiences across the country, from stages at festivals (Woodford Folk Festival, Top End Folk Festival, Cygnet Folk Festival, CresFest) to support slots with Australian music legends Fanny Lumsden, Amber Lawrence, The Bushwhackers, and the Weeping Willows. Broken Creek’s second album ‘Yeah Nah’ was recorded in Erin’s grandma’s hundred-year old farmhouse in Picola on Yorta Yorta Country. It was shortlisted as a finalist for the AFMA’s ‘Traditional Folk Album of the Year’ and Broken Creek were a finalist for ‘Duo of the Year’. Broken Creek was featured on Season 6 of the SBS/NITV show ‘Going Places with Ernie Dingo’, sharing their love of Australian folk music. Erin and Lachlan Heycox grew up in regional border towns along the Murray River steeped in bushbands and balladeers. After moving to Melbourne to study music and history, they performed in a melting pot of different musical projects including sea shanties, avant garde orchestras, and improvised theatrical soundtracks. Broken Creek’s debut album ‘Small Town Anthropologies’ was shortlisted as a finalist for the Australian Folk Music Awards ‘Traditional Album of the Year’ (2022). It launched a national ‘Small Town Tour’ that included pop-up choirs, church halls, folk festivals and recording tunes in gorgeous locations which Broken Creek continue to do to this day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aa0df315c026765e213db5/9894ee99-72f0-4c8e-91c0-11e7f7f5f9e3/STA+Album+Cover.png About Album Art by Hannigan Heycox https://www.brokencreekband.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-02-22 https://www.brokencreekband.com/presskit daily 0.75 2023-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aa0df315c026765e213db5/57bd8f66-816d-4370-9ad7-d2265414e182/029.jpg Press Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aa0df315c026765e213db5/7f3031a6-6320-48cb-b93a-543be99cf0a9/056.jpg Press Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aa0df315c026765e213db5/04021e4f-8f1f-4a3e-bf5b-7142a74e1b09/052.jpg Press Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aa0df315c026765e213db5/87fd856e-1ed2-4f04-8856-871c961acea5/041.jpg Press Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aa0df315c026765e213db5/0779a2c5-6eeb-4092-b7e3-b40dd659123e/149.jpg Press Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aa0df315c026765e213db5/7e323dd9-924d-4e30-b4a3-8a673b10c771/065.jpg Press Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aa0df315c026765e213db5/77fd6749-a70e-4ded-8016-d52c6ae35d8a/109.jpg Press Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aa0df315c026765e213db5/9b68b64d-6c2a-475a-b7af-f90a35fb7372/STA+Album+Cover.png Press Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aa0df315c026765e213db5/bef00894-b4db-429e-b1f1-d9bb588935cc/TOUR+POSTER+4.png Press Photos - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.brokencreekband.com/zine-downloads daily 0.75 2025-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aa0df315c026765e213db5/1c765bdb-6bfa-45ac-bc02-c104197dc6d7/Screen+Shot+2025-01-13+at+6.28.08+pm.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aa0df315c026765e213db5/3c4e71ba-57d5-42d0-80f1-5bd26cb41c4e/IMG_7108.jpg Zine Downloads - Zine 1: Small Town Anthropologies https://www.brokencreekband.com/picola daily 0.75 2022-03-05 https://www.brokencreekband.com/here-is-my-home daily 0.75 2022-06-05 https://www.brokencreekband.com/free-zine daily 0.75 2022-06-08 https://www.brokencreekband.com/sma daily 0.75 2024-12-16 https://www.brokencreekband.com/performance-resume daily 0.75 2024-12-16 https://www.brokencreekband.com/book daily 0.75 2022-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aa0df315c026765e213db5/33ea727a-7825-4d79-8066-252cd210e3dc/Photo+by+Adam+Purcell+-+Melbourne+Ceili+Camera_220520-3505.jpg Book - Performances Broken Creek are known for their original take on folk traditions and thrilling musicianship on a multitude of acoustic instruments.
