New Single ‘Dislodge’ out now!
Broken Creek’s new single ‘Dislodge’ is an upbeat country-folk love letter to long stretches of dusty highway and winding mountainous back roads; inspired by Erin Heycox’s (Vocals/Violin) first solo road trip it celebrates that fear tinged thrill of venturing out in the world solo.
“It’s like a 70s road trip film and indie coming-of-age drama rolled into one” says Lachlan Heycox (Banjo/Guitar),
“Roadtrips often mark moments of change” adds Erin, “so ‘Dislodge’ is an anthem for those busting to shake up something in their lives”.
The sound is a tribute to the great Americana and Australiana recordings of Alison Krauss, Sara Storer, Norman Blake and Willie Nelson with flat picking guitar, hot fiddle licks, rolling banjo and double bass from Nick Henderson (The Good Behaviours).
“Dislodge is perfect for our opening track of our new album Yeah Nah” says Erin Heycox, “We started recording the album after jumping into our camper trailer for a three month tour across Australia.”

New single: Broken Tapes
Broken Creek create Australian folk music that finds resonances in the past for the present moment.
In ‘Broken Tapes’, they reach into their own past to sort through postcards of memories: picnics at the Yarraville Gardens with highschool friends, family holiday road trips along the Hume Highway soundtracked by Midnight Oil tapes and beachcombing at dusk along Mollymook Beach.
We successfully funded our second album ‘Yeah Nah’
We’re creating a folk album of reimagined Australiana that will take you on a roadtrip across old and new Australia.
Thanks so much to our supporters who helped us smash our funding goal to get our album mixed, mastered and ready to release!

New Single!
Check out ‘The Gathering Wool’, the latest single from Broken Creek, an uplifting Australiana country-folk record that tells the tale of Erin’s father shearing a thousand sheep before the 2022 Echuca-Moama floods. It re-imagines the traditional Australian shearing song and explores how farmers and country communities have to adapt to the ever-changing climate.
Joining Erin Heycox (vocals/fiddle) and Lachlan Heycox (guitar/banjo) are guest musicians Emily-Rose Sarkova (accordion/backing vocals) and Nick Hendersen (double bass/mandolin/backing vocals).
