Our Story
Andrea Duff and I are The Southern Byways. We are an experienced musical duo delivering heartfelt performances through classic Country / Americana and soulful original songs. In addition to vocals and harmonies,we utilise a range of instruments including keys, guitar, resonator, ukulele, banjitar and percussion. This, along with insightful anecdotes and personal stories, keep every show fresh and interesting. We expanded on this format with two Adelaide Fringe shows in 2026 with great success.
Andrea and Karl playing at 'Heritage Arts and Traditions', Auburn
"We had a lovely night enjoying the music of Southern Byways in the lush and beautifully lit courtyard of Ern Malley. The duo performed a tantalising mix of soulful country classics, Karl's originals (their performance of the very witty 'We Don't Know How He Got In' was the highlight of the show for me!) and several country songs with highly entertaining lyrics. Andrea gave fascinating historical insights into the songs throughout the night and played keys with palpable energy and passion. Karl's baritone voice is a total treat, as is watching him effortlessly switch between electric, acoustic and slide guitar making each song feel like its own unique performance. The duo's sharing of lyric sheets with their audience for selected songs only added to the fun and frivolity of an already highly enjoyable night!"

Our Mothers' Country Hearts - Adelaide Fringe 2026
We had a ball delivering our first joint Fringe show! We presented a musical anthology straight from the hearts of mothers and fathers while reflecting on our own musical influences. From the swirling dance music of the Wonderland ballroom in post-war Adelaide; a mother's vintage sheet-music collection, an absent father's love of rockabilly in Mozambique, the universal trials of the 60s housewife and the meaning of home.
