Country music legend Slim Dusty’s legacy lives on with the musicians who toured the country with him for decades coming to the Bundaberg Region with their show Travellin’ Still – The Music of Slim Dusty.
After a successful headlining show at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, the band celebrates the legendary music of Slim featuring Golden Guitar winner and multi-instrumentalist Pete Denahy.
The band hit the road in February, performing shows in Bundaberg, Kingaroy, Pomona and Brisbane, following their tour through Victoria and Southern NSW in 2024.
The show brings Slim’s iconic sound back to life, with his original Travelling Country Band reunited to honour the king of Australian country.
After their last show with Slim in 2002, the members of the band went their separate ways until a reunion reignited their passion to keep Slim’s music alive on stage.
With the blessing of Slim’s family, they’re back, with Rod Coe on bass, Jeff Mercer on guitar, Doug Gallacher on drums, and Mike Kerin on fiddle, and singer Pete Denahy leading the way.
From timeless classics to cherished favourites, Travellin’ Still is a beautiful tribute packed with the sounds and stories that made Slim Dusty a national treasure.
Audiences from Winton’s Way Out West Fest to the Tamworth Country Music Festival and the Gympie Music Muster have loved the show which has everything from nostalgia, laughter, and toe-tapping tunes – a must-see show for any Slim fan.
Don’t miss the chance to experience this iconic tribute to the man who sang our stories like no other.

I met a group called the Slim Dusty Band in an elevator in Bundaberg’s sister city Nanning in 2003! They told me they were continuing performing & travelling despite Slim’s death.
I wonder if some of the current group were over there back then.
The female singer turned out to come from Bundy, we were both surprised as I’m also from the area.
They were there to perform at the fantastic International Nanning Music Festival.
I was there as a guest.
