Oneill & Rodgers

Oneill and Rodgers have known each other for over 25 years and came together in 2008, drawn together by a love for acoustic instruments and the folk tradition of story telling in song. David O'Neill is an internationally recognized multi-instrumentalist. He plays fiddle, mandolin, guitar, and sings. Dave has played with numerous Australian artists such as Eric Bogle and the Bushwhackers, and has toured and recorded overseas with a number of internationally acclaimed artists in America and Europe. He is well known in the Australian folk scene. Bob Rodgers originally discovered his love for acoustic instruments in the early 1980s playing with the seminal Canberra bluegrass band, Tag and the Noose Brothers. Over the last two decades Bob has built his reputation for his vocal skills and songwriting, culminating in the release of his recent CD ‘Postcard from Iraq’ – songs written whilst he was in Iraq in 2006. Together, through the blending of their voices and the instruments they play, Bob and Dave tell stories in song. You will tap your toes and you will be moved.
