Welcome to Yard Grass: an Australian rural musical. Written, recorded, and performed by Ivan James Collins at IJC Artworks.

Additional narration by Paul ‘Campo’ Campion and Simonne Filer
Additional production by Audiobook Australia

This is a story about four unlikely individuals:
Mad Cow the Cow.
Drumsticks the Rooster.
Harp Hog the Pig.
Banjo Neddy the Horse.

They were farm animals, but their natural love for music was anything but ordinary. They
met by chance, each with a rough-and-ready instrument: a tea chest Bass, a Blues
harmonica, Guitar, and a Banjo. They quickly realized their destiny was to turn their
rural sounds into something special. Their goal was simple: to create a Blue Grass
Country Band. This is their journey. Yard Grass.
