How are we, Alabama?

(audience cheering) Are we good.

(audience cheering) Now did I say Alabama right?

[Dustin] Yeah.

I did?

Okay.

I have to be careful, you see, 'cause I have this accent going on.

(attendee laughing) [Dustin] For a few years now, right?

-Yeah, just for a few years.

-(Dustin laughing) I'm from a little place called Australia.

-(audience cheering) -(audience applauding) And so just so you all know, I have a true southern accent.

All right?

I know you Alabamians think you do, but you don't.

It's the southern hemisphere -accent.

-I've got like any further south, then you're at the South Pole kind of south accent.

(bright violin music) But I am learning to say y'all.

I haven't quite got the all y'all down yet.

(Dustin laughing) I've got the y'all down.

[Dustin] You working on it.

(laughs) I'm working on it.

And I have a six and a 10-year-old children and they both say g'day y'all.

They've got it both going on.

We're excited to be here.

This is my first ever show in Alabama and... (audience cheering) thank you so much -for having us tonight.

-(audience clapping) We're gonna do a song that I wrote that's a little bit about my life and how I never in my wildest dreams thought that I'd be playing bluegrass music for a living in Alabama.

Fort Payne, Alabama.

But here I am.

This one's called "South to North Carolina."

I released a new album about this time last year.

It's been out for just over a year.

And it was called "Let It Burn."

And it debuted at number one on the Billboard album sales charts.

-(audience applauding) -(audience cheering) Which is pretty cool.

But we're gonna do the current single for you off of that album.

And I've always been a big Lee Ann Womack fan.

Anyone here know -who Lee Ann Womack is?

-Hey.

-(audience applauding) -(audience cheering) Me.

A (indistinct).

-She's the queen... -She is.

as far as I'm concerned.

And when I grow up, I'm gonna be a Lee Ann Womack, just so you know.

(Dustin laughing) And I turn 40 in a couple of weeks, and I'm not quite grown up yet.

I've got a few, at least another 20 years, I think, till I have to grow up.

I think I'm just not going to.

Yeah.

-I decided.

-I mean, we are bluegrass musicians.

So there is that.

(laughs) But we changed one of her songs into a bluegrass song.

And you may know this one, this one's called "Wrong Girl."

(melancholic violin music) Hey.

I'm really privileged to get to play music with these fine humans that we've got up here on this stage.

And we're gonna feature them on this track for you.

We got Charles Butler down there on banjo.

(audience cheering) (audience applauding) Ellie Hakanson on fiddle.

-(audience applauding) -(audience cheering) Jason Bailey on mandolin.

-(audience cheering) -(audience applauding) Dustin Benson on guitar.

-(audience cheering) -(audience applauding) Thank you.

And Cody Tinnin on bass.

(audience applauding) And Kristy Cox in charge of it all and singing weed for you tonight.

We're gonna do a neat little East Tennessee blues for you.

You see, I got her upset.

(Dustin laughing) (laughs) What.

They're no fun at all to be on the road with, I can tell you.

No, I'm just kidding.

They're great.

We just got back from Europe.

Well, Jason and I did.

(band laughing) We didn't get our passport.

Yeah, they didn't have their passports, so we left them behind.

But...

I was busy.

(laughs) (Kristy laughing) Who's too busy to go to Europe?

I was quite upset about it.

(laughs) (Kristy laughing) But we just got back from Europe, and we spent 2 1/2 weeks, we played 14 shows in 18 days -in nine different countries.

-(audience applauding) And we got back about a week ago, and we had lots of fun.

Jason taught them all how to speak with an Alabama accent.

It was great.

(laughs) (Dustin laughing) He's from Alabama, -ladies and gentlemen.

-I am.

(Dustin cheering) And so is Dustin, actually.

We're gonna do a song for you that's on my "No Headlights" album.

I've been told that this is like a bluegrass rap song.

I didn't know they existed.

(Dustin laughing) So, I'm gonna do a rap song for you.

How you doing?

I didn't learn a rap song.

(laughs) It's a nice joke, anyway.

This one's called "Train."

This lovely gentleman to our right here.

He's filling in with us tonight.

Our normal guitar player has pneumonia, and so we hope Robbie feels better soon.

But I called Dustin about, what?

Three days ago?

Something like that.

And said, "Hey, mate, can you learn like an hour of my material and play a gig with us in Alabama on Saturday?"

(Dustin laughing) And he's like, "Sure."

And he did.

But we're gonna feature him on this next song.

He's one of my favorite guitar players -and singers in the world.

-(audience applauding) -Mr. Dustin Benson... -Thank you.

ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Tour night, when I met them at the, where we met, she said, "Oh, by the way, it's gonna be recorded for TV."

(Kristy laughing) Oh great, (laughs) awesome.

Here's one called Wild Bill Jones.

[Ellie] One, two, three.

-(audience cheering) -(Dustin laughing) (gentle bluegrass music) Stop.

He's all right, I guess.

(indistinct) -(Kristy laughing) -(Dustin laughing) We're gonna do a song that's on the current album.

And I grew up in the hills of South Australia, and has anyone here been to Australia before?

A few.

Did you go to Adelaide?

No one ever goes to Adelaide.

Let me tell you guys, if when you go to Australia, you gotta make sure you go to Adelaide.

All right?

Spend one day in Sydney.

See the opera house, see the harbor bridge and get out of there 'cause the rest of Australia's got so much more to offer.

I'm not a big fan of Sydney.

Can you tell?

There's just too many people.

There's like 3 million people there in one city.

It's nothing compared to (laughs) some of the cities here, I know that, but it's still way too many for me.

But I grew up in the country, basically.

And I love to be outside.

I love to go on hikes.

If I'm not playing bluegrass music, I like to hike and go for walks and just be out in nature and take my shoes off and get my feet dirty.

That's what I like to do.

And so this song's kind of about that.

This one's called "Front Porch of Paradise."

One, two, three, four.

(indistinct) Thank you so much.

We are gonna do a song for you that's a little bit about me because I'm a little bit backwards at times.

(Dustin laughing) All the time.

(Kristy laughing) What are you getting at over here, Dustin?

Oh, I don't know, I just got here.

-I just got here.

(laughs) -I just got here.

(laughs) This is my first gig.

-I just got here.

-He's new.

(Kristy laughing) Who said that?

We, anyway, I like to do things a little bit strange.

Like I don't like to wear shoes most of the time.

And even when it's snowing, I like to wear my flip flops, and I like to mix red wine with Coca-Cola.

(audience laughing) That one's good, but only if it's really bad wine.

-Yeah.

-(Dustin laughing) You only do it with the bad wine.

And really cold coke.

But I'm a bluegrass musician, so I can only afford the really bad wine.

Well, yeah.

I could also only afford the really bad wine in college.

That's how it goes.

That's how it goes.

Anyway, we're gonna do this one for you.

This is on the latest album.

This is called "Some Things Don't Go Together."

One, two, one, two, three.

Nothing like finding some strange combinations.

Could you imagine being on a submarine with a screen door?

Hold it.

(laughs) I wouldn't wanna be on a submarine, full stop.

I couldn't think -of anything worse.

-Is it an internal door?

I don't know.

Because that could help, maybe.

Maybe.

-I don't know.

-Maybe someone's really stinky and there's lots of flies in the submarine and you need to keep them out of your room.

Ellie, are you -okay, sweetheart?

-I don't know.

(laughs) I've never been in a submarine before.

I don't wanna be in a submarine.

We have a submarine in Australia that's in the middle of, like, in the middle of the desert.

Like, it's just there for people to look at.

It's like a tourist destination.

It's like you can travel around Australia and you can go and see the big sheep, which is literally just a big concrete sheep.

And then we can see the big koala, which is just a big concrete koala.

(audience laughing) And then we have the big kangaroo, which is just a big concrete kangaroo.

And then we have the big pineapple.

The big banana.

Anyway, and then we have this submarine in the middle of the desert.

Does it have a screen door?

I don't know.

Probably needs one.

I think it does need one because it's in the desert.

It's gotta keep the flies out.

Yeah.

I'm trying to help.

(laughs) (band laughing) No help.

There's no help.

There's no helping me.

(Dustin laughing) It's okay.

We're gonna do a song for you that is on my "Shades of Blue" album.

And the album has five songs on it that has the word blue in the title.

(bright violin music) Which is why we called the album "Shades of Blue."

But this particular song has the word blue in it 17 times.

So my daughter decided that she thinks that I need to buy something that gives me more rhyming words so that I don't have to use the same word over and over again.

She's 10, so she knows everything about everything at the moment.

(laughs) So, but she's probably right.

I probably need to learn some new rhyming words for the word blue.

Blue.

-Yeah.

New.

-Blue.

New, blue.

There we go.

(laughs) New.

Shoe.

Shoe.

We're gonna do this one for you.

This is called "Blue Ain't Just a Color Anymore."

This one's called tuning, this song here.

We tune because we care.

All right.

We're getting ready to release a new album in six days time.

And it's a gospel album.

I've never recorded a full gospel album before, but I'm excited.

I grew up listening to old time country music and bluegrass music, mainly in my granddaddy's Bronco truck.

We were driving around and he had that old Bronco that was like two-tone, like red and white.

You guys remember the one from like the eighties, nineties?

And I used to listen to the Grand Ole Opry with my granddad every weekend.

And that's how I fell in love with bluegrass and country music.

And my parents, they weren't a big fan of bluegrass and country music 'cause it was what their parents listened to, you see?

So they raised me on Heart and Pink Floyd and Deep Purple.

Diesel, Diesel.

And Diesel, yes.

I introduced Cody to a guy named Diesel this week.

He's like all about it.

An Australian singer songwriter.

But, so I had a nice mix.

But my granddad is the reason that I play music, and he's about to turn 90.

Wow.

And I got to see him about five weeks ago, which was awesome.

But he asked me about a year ago, he's got a aneurysm in his brain and a clot in his heart so they can't treat one without making the other worse.

And he said to me, he said, "Can you do me a favor, Kristy?"

I said, "Oh, what's that, Pop?"

And he goes, "Could you sing this song at my funeral?"

And I said, "No."

Yeah, I can be there.

I can be there but I can't sing.

And I felt really bad saying no to him 'cause, you know, he's my Pop, and I love him, but there's just no way in the world I could do that.

So this is his favorite hymn and it's my favorite hymn.

And I recorded it on the gospel album for him.

And I got to take it home five weeks ago and give him a copy of it.

I said, "I can't sing it at your funeral, Pop, because you're not gonna die.

You're gonna live forever.

But I did record it for you so you can listen to it any day you want."

So, well, this is on the gospel album, and you'll all know it I'm sure.

(audience cheering) Thank you so much.

I do have a very small handful of the gospel album with me.

The record label let me grab a box, and I've got a few left, so... Oh no.

All right.

We're gonna go from a gospel song to a killing song.

(Dustin laughing) We can put a instrumental... We play... (laughs) We repented in advance... -We did repent in advance.

-for this one.

We (indistinct).

Us bluegrass musicians, we sing about all the topics.

We sing about drinking, cheating, lying, killing, love.

And then we make up for all of the sins in the other songs by singing our gospel songs.

So, anyway, this one's a real family song.

It's a a good family matter.

Are you guys in tune yet?

Yeah, sorry.

-Yeah, sorry.

(laughs) -No.

Never.

(Kristy laughs) Never.

But this is a family number.

It's a double homicide.

(audience laughing) It's a good family song.

It's about, well, Daddy kills the boyfriend.

It's kind of a fair call I guess.

Later.

A little later in the song.

A little later.

He lives for a little while.

He does.

And then Mommy kills Daddy.

(Dustin laughing) (indistinct) Yeah.

Anyway, this one's called "Sally Flat."

(audience cheering) One second.

No.

Poor Ellie.

She has to tune her fiddle for that one.

You want old timey in B flat, you have to let me tune.

(laughs) -(Dustin laughing) -(Kristy laughing) We're gonna feature this incredible band on one for you.

We're gonna head to Columbus.

I don't know what state.

I think it's Ohio.

You guys have too many of the same towns in too many states.

You know that right?

It's better than Georgia.

It confuses us Australians 'cause we just make up town names if we run out.

Yeah.

And then you put a statue there.

-Like a concrete... -Pretty much.

Like a pineapple or something.

(Kristy laughing) Exactly.

If you're ever confused, you can just say it's the one with the giant concrete koala.

Exactly.

And then you know.

Yeah, we just make up names.

We go Gundagai or Woy Woy or Wagga.

We just make it up.

(upbeat violin music) What are we gonna call this town?

I think Wagga Wagga.

That's actually a town.

And they have a dog on a tucker box.

(audience laughing) -They do.

-A what?

It's a dog sitting on a tucker box.

On a what?

(laughs) A tucker box.

I don't... -Tackle box.

-Tackle box.

No, tucker.

No, that's not a word here.

(Kristy laughing) That's a thing that comes in a hard shell and put the sauce on it.

Taco sauce.

Taco.

Taco.

-Taco sauce.

-A tucker box.

It's like a... Tucker box.

I guess it's like a cooler but not cold.

(audience laughing) So like a box?

Soft taco box.

(laughs) It's a box that you put food in 'cause we call food tucker.

(laughs) [Dustin] I've never heard this (indistinct).

Here's "The Road to Columbus."

-(audience applauding) -(audience cheering) Thank you so much for having us tonight.

We have had a wonderful time, and we hope that you have as well.

(audience cheering) I wanna thank Anna and Pete and the team for inviting us to play Bluegrass on the Rim.

(audience cheering) (audience applauding) Thank you, GB.

I don't know how you found us, but thank you for finding us.

(Dustin laughing) And we've had a wonderful night.

We're gonna leave you with the title track of my current album, and it's a nice slow one.

Is that all right?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Gotta let the bands relax a little bit after that last one.

Ah, thank you.

That's a lie, folks.

She's misleading you.

(Kristy laughing) It's not the three quarter tone?

I don't want you to be shocked... (Dustin and Kristy laughing) and fall out of your chairs when we play fast.

Thank you, Ellie.

Ellie.

(laughs) I was misinformed.

(laughs) (laughs) Dustin wanted to play at half time.

It's a safety issue.

We have to make sure the people know it's gonna be fast.

Thank you so much for having us.

I am Kristy Cox and this is my band, -and we've had -(audience applauding) a wonderful night.

Thank you.

Please do come say g'day.

We do have some CDs over at the merchandise table out there in the foyer, and I'd love to meet you all and say g'day.

We'll see you all next time.
