RHONDA & THE GRASSCUTTERS
Rhonda Mawer began performing at the age of 17 at the original Shack in Narrabeen. She then branched out to performing in multiple folk clubs in Sydney and Melbourne in the days of the Folk Revival singing mostly traditional British music and some Blues and contemporary Folk. Rhonda sang on radio programs and concerts in the eighties then on and off. From then she joined up with jug band friends of the original Stovepipe Spasm Band which morphed into The East Neasdon Spasm Band and eventually became known as The Spasm Band. Then also kept up the traditional singing with The Wheeze and Suck Band for several years.
In 2022 she made her first solo CD and joined up with very accomplished musicians, namely Marcus Holden, Garry Steel, Rosy McDonald and Nigel Lever to form Rhonda and the Grasscutters (the curious name stems from the meaning of the surname Mawer, ‘someone who mows the fields’).
Rhonda sings an eclectic mix of traditional, blues and roots music and is accompanied by Marcus on fiddle, cello, guitar and slide guitar, Garry Steel on piano and accordion, Nigel Lever on mandolin and Rosie McDonald on guitar and vocals.
