The contemporary bluegrass quartet FRUITY PICKERS develops acoustic arrangements that traverse old-timey and new-grass musical traditions. Based in Melbourne, the ensemble structures its repertoire around the twin fiddles of Kate Conner and Sophia Dunn, supported by Gus Macmillan on banjo, Luke Byrnes on guitar and Fran Evans on double bass. The group focuses on the preservation and reinterpretation of traditional fiddle tunes, presenting fast-tempo instrumental interplay and coordinated vocal parts. Their stylistic approach emphasizes technical accuracy and historical musical frameworks, appealing to multi-generational audiences through straightforward acoustic execution.

The quartet presents structured acoustic sets suitable for outdoor events, festivals, street parties, dance parties, special functions, background music, corporate events and community activations. Utilizing their core instrumentation of fiddles, banjo, guitar, double bass and live vocals, the band adapts their performance format to match both featured main-stage requirements and ambient settings. When clients hire the ensemble, limited equipment is supplied, and the group requires an in-house PA system for amplification.
