Dustyesky

As featured on ABC TV's Australian Story, don’t miss the debut concert tour of the choir dubbed the Most Handsome Russian Male Choir to be seen in the southern hemisphere.

When 28 bearded blokes from the Northern Rivers coastal community of Mullumbimby came together to share beers and sing Russian songs, something extraordinary - and frankly bizarre - happened, and Dustyesky was born.

None of them have a connection to Russia or even speak the language, yet Dustyesky has gained global notoriety, and stardom in the motherland, for their spirited renditions of Red Army and traditional Russian folk songs.

Performing in four-part harmonies with gusto and élan, Dustyesky has amazed crowds at Woodford Folk Festival, Mullum Music Festival, Falls Festival, Melbourne Fringe Festival, and most recently WOMADelaide – becoming instant festival icons with their extraordinarily powerful voices, potent masculinity, and rustic charm.

The Dustyesky repertoire features the unforgettable 'State Anthem of the Russian Federation', alongside such classics as 'Orchy Chornye', 'The Red Army is the Strongest', and 'Kalinka', amidst lesser-known, no less breathtaking show-stoppers.

Don't miss their Australian concert tour debut as they sing with pride, love, and respect, but not without a rich vein of humour and vitality.
