Saddle up… Horse Drawn Cadillac is coming to KVFF!

Mixing an ever-evolving collection of homegrown originals with a few rare hidden gems from deep within the vault of musical treasures, Horse Drawn Cadillac will have you feeling like you’ve taken a musical road trip to New Orleans via Chicago.

Their latest concept album, Wayward Emotions, takes you on a journey through all those feelings we encounter along the winding roads of life, with plenty of twists, turns and musical surprises along the way.

And 2026 has certainly been The Year of the Horse!
Fresh from their gigs at Mitchell Creek Blues & Roots Festival, these legends are rolling into Kangaroo Valley with a Cadillac full of stories from wayward journeys.

Expect everything from moody ballads to a Saturday night fish fry!

THE ONE & ONLY twistedarrow_

One of our incredible Kangaroo Valley Folk Festival Youth Competition winners, and tonight they absolutely brought the house down at THE SERVO, PORT KEMBLA! 🎶

Here’s their original song “Broken Myself” a song with a story behind it. Hamish, their bassist, injured himself during one of their gigs… and that moment became the inspiration for this song. Sometimes the best stories (and songs!) come from the most unexpected moments.

Raw, honest, young and seriously talented. ❤️

We’re so proud to have these guys as part of the KVFF family. Keep making noise, twistedarrow_ we can’t wait to see where your music takes you!
