The Master Apprentices

The Masters Apprentices are returning to Melbourne on Sunday October 4th, 2026!

Homegrown legendary Oz rock band spanning over 6 decades, featuring original 1960s members including Mick Bower (guitarist and principal composer) and Brian Vaughton (drums). Vocalist Craig Holden upfront, Bill Harrod (Bass), and Dan Matejcic (guitar) round out the line-up.

In the 60s the Masters became a rock'n'roll/ rhythm and blues institution alongside The Aztecs, The Loved Ones, The Twilights and Easybeats taking Australia by storm. Now over 60 years later they reunite to rock out yet again with a brand new repertoire in their original 60s garage band format. It's the only band from that era still performing major shows.

Hear the early hits penned by Mick Bower, 'Living In A Child's Dream', 'Wars Or Hands Of Time' and 'Undecided' alongside evergreen hits from later years such as 'Elevator Driver', 'Turn Up Your Radio', 'Because I Love You' and much more.
