Bendigo residents Hamish and Lachlan Davidson took home their second consecutive Golden Guitar for Instrumental of the Year at the 38th Australian Country Music Awards.

They won the award with an original track titled Fox On The Freeway from their latest album Born to Play.

The awards night was presented in Australia’s country music capital Tamworth late last month.

Winners of the Golden Guitars are voted by members of the Country Music Association of Australia.

The Davidson Brothers had a big year in 2009, including recording in Nashville in May and a four-week tour of the southern states of the USA with their band in September.

Also at Tamworth, the boys took home a Golden Fiddle award for Best Band Featuring a Fiddler. Lachlan also won the Australian Bluegrass Mandolin Championship for the third year in a row.

They also won Gold Medallion Award for Best Musicians in Victoria and Tasmania.

Their album Born to Play is also nominated for five awards at the forthcoming Victorian and National Country Music Awards to be held in Whittlesea on

February 13.

The 38th CMAA Country Music Awards of Australia will broadcast on CMC on Foxtel Digital and Austar from 7pm on Thursday, followed by an encore screening on Southern Cross Television and Network Ten nationally on Saturday, February 13 at 1.30pm.
