Tasmanian country rock band The Wolfe Brothers will play an outdoor gig in the North-East town in coming weeks.
The show is part of the band's massive Australian Country Heart tour, celebrating its latest album of the same name.
The album debuted on the ARIA Chart at nine in March 2018. The band also got an ARIA nomination for Best Country Album, and four Golden Guitars at the Tamworth Country Music Awards.
Bassist Tom Wolfe said they wanted to do "something different" for their fourth album.
"Something that would reach a wider audience and something to show that we have grown and matured as a band and as songwriters," he said.
"We are very proud of this album and we feel that we achieved what we set out to do, and to see it debut at nine on the ARIA All Genre chart was very satisfying and a great start to the next chapter for the band.
The album was produced by Matt Fell in his Sydney studio.
Guitarist Brodie Rainbird said Fell was amazing to work with.
"He is also a great musician and he really understood our need to do something different with this album," he said.
"In the past, we have always been a guitar driver band. This time we never picked up a guitar until we were two weeks into recording.
"We took the time to work on the parts of every song.
"It's not a massive departure from the past Wolfe Brothers records, it is just different, and the response to the album has been incredibly encouraging for us."
Accompanying the band will be The Bad Dad Orchestra and Well Strung.
After playing Winneleah, the band will return to tour on the mainland until three shows in the state's South in April.
