Sunday Session with Hinterland and special guests Marshall and The Fro

Join us for a Sunday Session with Hinterland and special guests Marshall and The Fro!

Perhaps the craziest moment of Hinterland’s journey occurred in March 2021 when a fan called in to his favourite radio show at 3am and requested their single “Loud”. Despite never having heard of the band, the hosts obliged and quickly became fans themselves – encouraging their listeners to jump onto socials and streaming and support this unknown Aussie group. Overnight, Hinterland’s then 5 month old EP skyrocketed to the top of the album charts, outselling Billie Eillish, Keith Urban and Taylor Swift and their online following more than doubled. To thank this fan, the band sent him an autographed megaphone, the very same that was used in the “Loud” music video.

That’s how it’s come to be, for Hinterland, as an independent group without industry backing: you’ve never heard of them…until you HEAR them…then you can’t understand how you’d never heard of them before.

Rachel Bostock, Robbie Bostock & Jesse Emmanuel aka Hinterland made a huge impression when they burst onto the Australian country music scene in 2020 with 3 hit singles: the pop-laden country jam “In The Hinterland” which went to #1 on Tamworth radio, the celtic-influenced “Turbulence” with it’s equally epic music video and the slightly heavier, 80s rock influenced “Loud”. Their sound is one of a kind – an eclectic blend of the band’s strongest influences such as The Corrs, Fleetwood Mac, The Chicks, Brad Paisley and Zac Brown Band – always showcasing the incredible talents of these amazing musicians.

2021 saw the band expanding their team, signing a management deal with Karen-Lee Goody of Entertainment Consulting and extending their partnership with SGC Media to release the single “Giddy Up”. The track proved another huge success – added to high rotation across radio and CMT, a Top 10 national airplay smash that landed them coveted country music festival slots including Savannah In The Round, Bush To Bay and Groundwater Country Music Festival. In February 2022 they released their 5th single “Treating Me Good” accompanied by a hilarious music video shot in Brisbane and the Gold Coast showcasing the band’s sense of humour and storytelling ability.

Based on the Gold Coast, Hinterland are Rachel Bostock on the violin & vocals, her brother Robbie Bostock on lead guitar & vocals and Jesse Emmanuel on rhythm guitar & vocals. All 3 members are award-winning songwriters for previous projects – Rachel & Robbie’s family band The Bostocks, Jesse’s solo albums (which were produced by Robbie himself) and collaborations with fellow artists. Jesse co-wrote 3 singles for young singer Taylor Moss – most notably “Ain’t No Girly Girl” which to date has been streamed over 2 million times – and up and comer Sabrina Durante’s debut “Glad It’s Not Me.” Robbie won the 2019 National Songwriting Award for an Instrumental. Rachel has amassed several million views online with her stunning violin rendition of “The Last Post” and is a 3 time Golden Fiddle winner.

Together they are an unstoppable team – masters of their instruments, perfectionists with their craft with years of industry and onstage experience under their belts.

The combination of showstopping musicianship, catchy melodies, dreamy harmonies and epic guitar and violin riffs and solos make Hinterland a stand out act to watch.
