The fan-favourites have been on an amazing 12-year ride.
The band first found fame on Australia’s Got Talent.
After placing second, they were signed to a management company, offered a recording contract and then hired by Lee Kernaghan to open his shows and play in his band - a working relationship that lasted 10 years.
The brothers - Nick and Tom Wolfe - describe their time on the road with Kernaghan as the best possible apprenticeship any band could have.
They have since gone on to achieve four career number one and two number two ARIA Country Albums that have delivered 20 number one singles on the National Country Music Chart.
With 10 Golden Guitars under their belt too, they are now Australia’s most awarded country rock duo in history.
The 10th came this year for Vocal Collaboration Of The Year, for the single Beer In A Bar recorded with Kaylee Bell, and they were also finalists in the newly created Countrytown People's Choice Awards, Entertainer Of The Year, Group Or Duo Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Australian Tour.
Originally from Tasmania, the brothers have travelled countless road miles in Australia, USA and Canada, including for the 2024 Livin’ The Dream Tour.
This year is all about releasing new music and plenty of what they love doing the most - playing live all around Australia.
Younger brother Tom told the Pastoral Times that while they have appeared at the Deni Ute Muster before (in 2012, 2015 and 2018), fans will note that “alot has changed”.
“It’s been seven years, and we are really pumped to come back,” he said.
“I know how raucous it can get.
“We’ve also seen the Wiggles are on the lineup, which is very exciting.
“It is lovely that the Ute Muster has continued to reshape itself as a huge family-friendly event.
“It has come a long way from just circle work, and music a while ago, and if you look at who they’ve got performing it is the beauty of this genre, of country music.
“I know it sounds like a cliché, but in this genre, there is something for everyone.
“A lot of country festivals are pumping right now, which is great to see.”
Tom said the aim with every gig is high energy and a “great live performance”.
“It’s my lifeblood; It's literally my favourite thing,” he said.
“We’ve got the goal of coming in to try to put on the biggest ever show we’ve ever done, and that still stands.
“I think Aussies in country music are doing as good as ever.
“We love Australia. We’re proud Australians, and want to showcase some of that in our music.”
“The fact that some of the best in the genre can come together shows how healthy the Australian country music scene is right now.”
When describing the band’s music, the Mr Wolfe said “we definitely have country rock roots”.
But the brothers continue to challenge themselves, having experienced a lot through their journey as country music stars.
“We’ve tried things that are more pop, more rock, more country.
“It is wonderful to resonate with our fans. With this sound our fans are telling us, ‘this is why we fell in love with the Wolfe Brothers’, which is great to hear.
“As an artist, you’ve got to push yourselves.
“We’ve been through plenty of highs and lows. And I’m a dad now, and I’m really loving that.
“It obviously comes with its challenges, touring, but it makes me really proud to keep doing it and show my kids that if you work hard, you can do something that you love.
“Honestly, we’re enjoying it (performing and making music) more than we ever have.
“We’ve gone through plenty of highs and lows on tour.
“We lost our parents, but we’ve also had so many highs on tour and the number one rule in the studio for us is to make sure we love it because that is when you deliver your best.”
Ahead of the Deni Ute Muster in 2025, the Wolfe Brothers are ready to bring their blockbuster act to continue to make a positive difference to the community.
“We’re fourth generation farmers. We know how important these sort of events can be.
“I think our shows are about fun. We want people to sing and dance.
“Live music is really undervalued. It brings a smile to peoples’ faces and helps them have a good time.
“I think the world needs a bit more of that right now.”
The Deni Ute Muster promises two unforgettable days of music, culture, and community spirit.
Set for Friday, October 3 and Saturday, October 4, this year’s event continues its proud tradition of celebrating the Aussie ute and rural lifestyle with a jam-packed program for all ages.
Camping is a major part of the Deni Ute Muster tradition, with free general camping available from October 2-5.
