THE ACOUSTIC CAFÉ is a fortnightly program featuring a mix of singer – songwriter, Celtic, Cajun, global roots, traditional and contemporary folk, blues, country blues, bluegrass, country, old timey and Americana music from Australia and around the world. Live to air, 8pm, every second Tuesday.

The recorded live part of the program features Dolly Parton. These concert recordings were made at Dollywood  on Dec. 12 and 13, 2002. Dollywood is a theme park partly owned by Dolly Parton Productions, the entertainment company of Dolly Parton. It is located in the Knoxville metropolitan area in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, near the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains.

The entirely acoustic performance not only returns the country/bluegrass diva to her musical roots, but to her hometown ones as well.

This week, join Tony and Shippa as they chat to the young members of an Adelaide band who seem to have been listening to Shippa’s personal playlist…which means that he is either young and hip, or they are influenced by some terrific music from the past! Yes, they are definitely influenced by terrific music from the past, Shippa! Maxwell, Angus and Hudson from The Dandy Buzzkills talk about their music, their band and their penchant for flying bananas!
