One lonely evening in Melbourne in 2024, Dillon Adam and Nick found each other and the Two Dollar Trio was born. All from different parts of NZ, Adam Hattaway (Adam Hattaway and the Haunters) and Nick Armstrong from Sin City had been previously introduced by Delaney Davidson who produced both of their records a few years back. Nick then had the stroke of genius to introduce Adam and Dillon Feeney (Smokestack Slim) They immediately started singing three part harmony versions of old country songs, and eventually started writing together. Something of a fantasy band for each of them, with a shared love of country music and soul, the Two Dollar Trio delves deep into both genres while their respective bands outside of the trio walk other musical paths.
