This show belongs to the Adelaide Fringe 2024 season. This season is now over.

The Backyarders, Soursob Bob & Chickensalt

Music • Rock
South Australia • World Premiere

The Backyarders are back after four sold out Fringe seasons.

The musical equivalent of a sausage on bread at your local hardware store, The Backyarders' high-energy folk/rock meets Soursob Bob’s grunge/folk story-telling and Chickensalt's heavy blues/rock to produce one very special show as Aussie as Vegemite!

The Backyarders: The epitome of Australian Backyard culture, delivering a high-energy performance laced with accordion, violin and gang vocals.

Soursob Bob: An Urban folk singer with a deadpan delivery. His songs and views vary from hilarious to deeply meaningful, often at the same time.

Chickensalt: Like the South Aussie invention, go well with chips and leave that taste in your mouth that says “more, more, more”.
