JB Paterson w/ Midnight Chicken

JB Paterson is a critically acclaimed folk musician from Cedar Creek, QLD, Australia. Compared to greats like Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and Townes Van Zandt, he has forged a highly DIY career, running his own off-grid studio in the countryside of Greater Brisbane. With three self-produced albums under his belt, receiving heavy rotation on Australian radio stations, his storytelling and raw musicianship have taken him across the country, playing intimate shows and festival stages alike. As an independent artist, he continues to craft timeless songs, and will continue to do so for a long time. JB Paterson is touring with banjo player Rebecca Cunningham bringing JB’s acclaimed songwriting to life as a duo. Their live shows are a journey in songwriting, rich with musicianship, storytelling, and plenty of stage banter in between.

Hatched and hand-raised in Newcastle, NSW, Midnight Chicken are making waves in Australia’s bluegrass and country scenes. Known for their bizarre and refreshing take on bluegrass, they deliver standout renditions of traditional tunes alongside captivating originals. Since forming, they’ve toured nationally with Brad Cox, performed at major festivals like Woodford and the National Folk Festival, and graced some of Australia’s biggest regional theatres. Individually, members have worked with icons such as Kasey Chambers, Greg Sheehan, Phil Emmanuel, and Gina Jeffries. Their debut self-titled album, released in early 2025, was featured on ABC Country radio.
