Glen Moffatt & the Tallboys, October 2006.
The following musicians have appeared as part of Glen Moffatt & the Tallboys.
Michael Muchow (lead guitar/vocals)
Born in 1985, not only does Michael bring down the average age of the band by a considerable amount, he also brings to it a formidable talent way beyond his years. He has already contributed to a Country Music Association of Australia Golden Guitar winner in Michael Fix's instrumental of the year "Mulga Dan", in 2003, and is a graduate of the Australian College of Country Music. In 2007 he released his self-titled debut EP.
Chris Haigh (bass guitar/vocals)
Returning to the Tallboys in mid-2006, Chris' history reads like a who's who of Australian pop and country. He has toured and recorded with Australian country superstar Troy Cassar Daly, Tommy and Phil Emmanuel, Renee Geyer and Graeme Connors.
Leon Ernst (drums)
Son of legendary Cairns drummer Laurie Ernst, Leon also beats the skins for eight-piece powerhouse funksters BadGang and is sought after as a session player from the Gold Coast to the Sunshine Coast.
Dash McIvor (bass guitar/guitar/mandolin/vocals)
Multi-instrumentalist Dash is a renowned Queensland producer who has recorded all sorts of musicians at his Stargate Productions facility. He has worked with artists as diverse as the Wolverines, Max Bygraves, Kamahl and Jon Pertwee, as well as opening for Charley Pride and Johnny Cash among others.
Billy John Bakos (drums)
Having completed jazz studies at Queensland Conservatorium in the early 1990s, Billy toured from Western Australia to the Gympie Muster with Buzz 'n' the Blues Band and was part of John Wibberley's band that undertook a mammoth Australian tour raising funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service in 2002. He has also played with Brisbane's Wild Turkey and Hervey Bay-based singer-songwriter Keri McInerney.
Kerry Jacobson (drums)
Kerry left New Zealand for Sydney in 1976 just in time to conquer Australia as part of Dragon. He was an early member of Mondo Rock and recorded with Richard Clapton before relocating to Brisbane. He still tours with Mondo Rock and guitar legend Ian Moss as well as writing songs with Glen.
Tamihana Johnston (bass guitar/guitar/vocals)
Tamihana first teamed up with Glen in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, in 1990 in country band the Colonials. After releasing a DIY cassette of original material, the band split up at the end of 1991 when Glen moved to Auckland. Tami played throughout New Zealand, recorded with fellow Colonial Ian Turbitt and backed evergreen Kiwi singer Suzanne Prentice before relocating to Brisbane in 2002 and re-establishing his connection with Glen.
