The Roadtrippers, hailing from the remote town of Cooktown in Far North Queensland, formed in 2004 and quickly became a unique fixture in Australia's music scene. Described as "The Doors meets Jack Kerouac & Slim Dusty" by Richard Fidler, their frontman Gav Dear is hailed as "one of the most remarkable men" by the same. They've garnered a loyal following in unconventional corners of Australia, earning national airplay with their 2005 release, "100 Smokes to Kunanurra," which Time Out Magazine Brisbane dubbed a "Northern Australian classic." Their music blends acoustic country with raucous rock 'n' roll, anchored in the myths of the tropical savannah. The Roadtrippers are authentic Queensland troubadours with a deep connection to the bush.
