Big Blow and the Bushwackers originated on Maryland's eastern shore to explore the musical possibilities of the didjiridu, a native Australian instrument which creates a colorful continuos bass line.

Along with this, the Bushwackers perform with a variety of instruments accompanying the "Digi" such as: Mandolin, Accordion, Trombone, Tuba, Bamboo Flutes, Tin Whistles, Dulcimer, Harmonicas, various Hand Drums and Percussion, their voices and an arrangement of hand made and often unusual instruments.

Big Bow's music brings a variety of styles into a fresh setting. In concert the group has fun with traditional ballads, dance tunes from many cultures. Improvisations which involve the audience, plus a large dose of their own vibrant, pop satire material.
