Barbary Coasters, formed in 1988, comprises Nikki Lowmass on lead vocals, 12 string guitar & sequencer and Vance Fahey on Bass, vocals, acoustic & electric guitar. Nikki Lowmass & Vance Fahey are one of Cairns longest running musical partnerships, formed in 1988 and named after the infamous Barbary Coast waterfront of early Cairns. Their album 'Follow Your Dreams' was the first CD produced in Cairns, utilizing the best local session musicians and receiving critical acclaim throughout the State, they quickly became one of the busiest acts on the road in FNQ and remain so to this day! Nowadays Barbary Coasters are established as a highly professional unit, playing to a wide variety of audiences and venues. They have also established a large and loyal following of 'Parrotheads'( fans of the music of Jimmy Buffett, whose songs portray the Utopian tropical lifestyle of boats, bars and beaches) who now phlock to what have become sell-out events known as Parrothead Parties. Barbary Coasters now regularly tour this event to a growing number of venues along the Queensland coast! Barbary Coasters ability to draw from a wide variety of musical styles ensure something for almost any taste - classics from the best of rock & country to smooth ballads or a rollicking Irish tune or Reggae or maybe a hint of Blues, there is one thing for sure - this band will keep you entertained with both their music and humour!
