The Snowdroppers were a blues rock group originating from Australia, active between 2007 and 2017.

History

Established in late 2007, The Snowdroppers initially performed live as the soundtrack for the burlesque production "Good Drugs and Bad Woman". The band's members consisted of Johnny Wishbone handling lead vocals, banjo, and harmonica; Pauly K on lead guitar; Nick London playing bass; and Cougar Jones on drums. They became known for their dynamic stage energy and captivating live shows.

Their musical style incorporated elements from blues, roots, rock, rockabilly, and punk genres. Their first album, Too Late to Pray, was launched in 2009. In October 2010, they toured New Zealand as the opening act for Gin Wigmore.

In 2011, their track Do The Stomp was included in the soundtrack for the film Red Dog. That same year, they embarked on a U.S. tour with performances at notable venues such as The Viper Room in Los Angeles, SXSW in Austin, and locations in New York City.

Released in March 2013, Moving Out Of Eden entered the ARIA Jazz & Blues chart at number one. This album highlighted classic rock beats while introducing fresh lyrical content.

Their third studio release, Business, arrived in 2015 featuring the radio single "Love Letters" and was promoted through a nationwide tour.

The Snowdroppers appeared at prominent Australian music festivals including Big Day Out, East Coast Blues & Roots Music Festival, Come Together Music Festival, Village Fair, Peats Ridge, Byron Bay Bluesfest, Festival of the Sun, and Gympie Muster.

In 2017, the band declared their disbandment following a farewell tour that culminated with their final concert on 25 November 2017.
