Rufous Whistler (Trio) return to Oodies! Their debut album, National Panic, debuted at #2 on the ARIA Country chart in 2025 and earned a Best Debut Album nomination from Folk Alliance Australia, as well as ABC Country's Feature Album of the Week.

With international airplay, a gripping live show and a strong grassroots following built on a love of the road, the band's blend of folk and alt-country is resonating deeply with audiences.

Hailing from Northeast Victoria (Wiradjuri Country), Rufous Whistler combines raw storytelling with modern alt-country arrangements, think Paul Kelly crossed with Big Thief.

Touring new material extensively across Australia and the world through 2026/27, this is new folk and alt-country that hits home and leaves you wanting more.
