The Prairie Oysters

The Prairie Oysters have been raising heck and eyebrows all over the country since 2005 with their brand of country music that’s been accurately described by Amazon music as an explosive mix of country, southern rock, blues and rockabilly. The Prairie Oysters have been making friends around the world with their mix of originals and covers, their showmanship and their sense of fun, which turns every gig into a party.

The Prairie Oysters have made country music accessible to a wide audience by mixing country, southern rock, rockabilly, rock ‘n’ roll and blues. Their shows have attracted large and diverse crowds including many who don’t normally call themselves country music fans.

Their following continues to grow around Australia and internationally thanks to the success of their album sales and radio airplay.

In October 2011, the boys won the inaugural AIADA People’s Choice Awards receivng a cash prize of $10,000.
