As leader of the international sensation ‘The Spooky Mens Chorale’, Stephen Taberner has built a reputation for surprising and delighting crowds with heart-stopping harmonies and outright silliness. With a jazz pedigree eclipsed by his needlessly eclectic resume as a clown/choir leader/bathroom harmonics aficionado/student of the human condition, Stephen’s musicianship is fully revealed with his collaboration with the trio Bush Gothic.

Known for exploding totally archaic notions of Australian folk music, Bush Gothic have been invited to perform at some of the world's most prestigious festivals including Mona Foma and Womadelaide.

With fiddler Jenny M. Thomas, double bassist Dan Witton and drummer Chris Lewis colluding with Stephen, they form a formidable and highly adventurous band with four part singing bliss.
