Raised By Eagles with special guests Lost Ragas

Raised By Eagles released their debut album in July 2013 to a packed house at the Bella Union (Trades Hall) in Melbourne. Their entrance onto Melbourne’s musical landscape immediately garnered the attention of alternative country aficionados across the country and scored the band a nomination at ‘The Age Music Victoria Awards’ that year for ‘Best Country Album’. Since that time, continually raw and captivating performances have cemented their reputation as one of Melbourne’s most sought after independent acts. Joining the band on stage will be special guests ‘Lost Ragas’, known for their own brand of
cosmic Australian music featuring the likes of Country Soul, Rock and Roots. Not to be missed!

Raised By Eagles delivered a blinding run of shows throughout 2014 including appearances at the inaugural ‘Out On The Weekend’ festival, and the Apollo Bay, Kyneton, Jamgrass and Riverboats music festivals. Raised By Eagles now return with their highly anticipated follow-up album ‘Diamonds In The Bloodstream’, a collection of interwoven tales covering the undulating territories of regret, hope, home and distance. Songs that remain unaffected by the smoke and mirrors of music in the post-modern era, and encapsulate the art of storytelling at its heartfelt finest.
