Presented by: Buffalo Drive

1970’s Adelaide band ‘Buffalo Drive’, evolved from a local acoustic folk quartet, ‘The Henchmen’, four mates featuring strong vocal harmonies and acoustic instruments; guitars, banjo, mandolin and double bass. They decided to go electric, brought in a lead guitarist, drummer and Hammond organist and became a 6-piece national touring and recording rock band, whose music evolved from the rollicking folk of the 50s via popular covers of 60s/70s hits to original songs with a feel-good, sing-along vibe, including local chart success, 'Life's Been Good To Me'. 50 years on, 5 original members have regrouped to relive and present the songs, the joy and the fun times!
