Damn’d Sam & The Preachers

Hailing from Victoria’s Ovens Valley, Damn’d Sam & The Preachers are a road-seasoned country band shaped by bush tracks, riverbanks and small-town Australia.

Frontman Sam McIntosh writes songs about unlucky love, long drives and High Country life — equal parts heartache and humour. Backed by electrified country instrumentation including fiddle, lap steel, bull fiddle bass and driving drums, the band delivers a sound that is raw, energetic and unmistakably regional.

Built for dusty festivals and cold beers, their live shows are immersive and infectious — the kind that have crowds singing along before they realise they know the words.

They’ll bring big country energy and authentic storytelling that feels right at home in apple country.

Hats and boots optional. Good times guaranteed.
