Kilderkin Distillery's Spirited Sessions present a night with Aussie artist Rufous Whistler.
Rufous Whistler's debut album, National Panic, debuted at #2 on the ARIA Country charts in March 2025 and earned itself best debut album nomination from Folk Alliance Australia, as well as ABC Country's Feature Album of the Week.
With international airplay, a gripping live show, and a strong grassroots fan base from their love of being on the road, the band's blend of folk and alt-country is resonating deeply with audiences.
Hailing from Northeast Victoria (Wiradjuri Country), Rufous Whistler combines raw storytelling with modern alt-country arrangements, reminiscent of I'm With Her's harmonies, Gillian Welch's storytelling, and the energy of Trampled by Turtles. This is alt-country music that hits home and leaves you wanting more.
