Rhys Crimmin

A Lego Me! 😆 I love the detail! From the tambourine to the trolley full of music cases, the sneaky beer, the speaker placed behind with the mixing console, the flannie and cap, the guitar and didge and a sneaky guest 🐨 Have I missed anything? Thanks so much for this birthday gift Vonnie! Is that a foldback…?

Thinking back on the year 2023 it occurred to me that when I was starting out in music my dream was to just travel from festival to festival each weekend playing music. That was '03 and in '23 I came pretty close to doing that every weekend! I definitely clocked up the most festivals in a single year of my career and it was magical! So a big shout out to the 32 festivals (hope I haven't missed any) that had me play this year solo and with various other projects at festivals from Australia to Germany, Scotland to Ireland, France to Switzerland and to the edge of the Poland/German border! Even better was doing it with family in tow and making memories together that we will never forget!

Thanks also to the acts/projects I play with including Austral, Maggie Carty, MacCrimmin Melbourne Céilí Band. 🤠☘❤️ Special thanks to the festivals that looked after myself and my family so well with tickets, food and accomodation. As a constantly travelling family it is appreciated immensely! Somehow managed to do a truckload of gigs too! 😆

People often ask how I get around overseas with so much gear, well this is how! This is me with 100kg of gear getting off my final train for the 2023 Europe and UK tour. Few extra pics here too! Had a blast this year playing in and visiting so many countries, playing my own shows as well as with Austral, Melbourne Céilí Band, MacCrimmin and doing it all with family! Next stop is Deni Ute Muster 🇦🇺 29th sept - 1pm! 🤠

Delighted to wake up on the other side of the world to find out I have been nominated for an Australian Folk Music Award in the Instrumentalist of The Year category! Stoked too for Austral who have been nominated as Artists of the Year, an act in which I am a small part of! Thanks to Folk Alliance Australia for the consideration and congrats to all the fellow nominees! Thanks also to all the acts that I play with that allow me to be nominated for an award like this! Looking forward to the awards night/party! 🤠

*love a good Facebook translate 😆

Im Rahmen unserer Reihe 'Kleine Open Airs in der Großen Burgstraße' bekommen wir heute, am Freitag,australischen Besuch. Das wird, super! Rhys Crimmin kommt endlich mal wieder vorbei✨🌈🦘
Von dem Moment an, in dem Rhys Crimmin zu spielen beginnt, wird das Publikum von seinem warmen Sound angezogen. Wenn er zwischen einer Reihe von Instrumenten sitzt, spürt man den rhythmischen Puls der Kick-Drum, das eindringliche Dröhnen des Didgeridoos oder die bluesigen, keltischen Klänge der Mundharmonika, während seine Gitarre darunter spielt und sein rauer, kraftvoller und gefühlvoller Gesang darüber schwebt. Rhys überlässt das Sprechen seiner Musik, und das Publikum ist bereit zuzuhören.
Bei Regen findet das Konzert Indoor im Tonfink statt!

GERMANY! Its been a while! Can't wait to come and play these shows for you and a few sneaky house concerts too! See you soon!

🤠 Stoked to announce I’ll be playing Deni Ute Muster in 2023! 🤠

It’s with great pride and pleasure that the Deni Ute Muster announces its all-Australian line-up featuring some of the country’s biggest names in country and pop music on Friday, 29 September and Saturday, 30 September 2023

It has been 25 years since our first Deni Ute Muster was created in 1999, the success and growth of this iconic event would not be possible without the support of all attendees over this time.

Going back to our roots, we are proud to announce the all Australian line up with many of the Muster’s favourites returning including Lee Kernaghan who was with us for our first Deni Ute Muster.
We welcome to our main stage for the very first time Missy Higgins, James Johnston, Casey Barnes, The Whitlams Black Stump Band and Deniliquin’s very own Zara Lindeman.

Once again our gates will be opening at 8.00am on the Thursday to allow early access to the camp areas.

From the previous Deni Ute Muster to the next, the team are continually working on putting together a program of music and activations for all ages that will create great memories. We look forward to welcoming you through our famous Deni Ute Muster gates to experience a weekend of fun, friendships and a festival like no other in Australia.
