Another Roadside Attraction: is a Glebe-based community choir led by Stephen Taberner. Since their formation in 1995 they have developed a style and repertoire all their own, with plenty of colour, movement and vibrant versions of great Australia rock songs such as The Ship Song, Throw your arms around me and Bury me deep in your love.

Their repertoire also includes spirituals, jazz and songs from Trinidad, South Africa and Samoa. Highlights of their performing career include appearances at the Hordern Pavilion (Yoga Festival 1996), the Sebel Townhouse (WIFT conference awards night 1997), The Rocks (Sweet Harmony in The Rocks 1997), and the Balmain Town Hall (Sydney Acapella Association fundraiser 1997).

Stephen Taberner is a Sydney-based singer, bassist, composer and conductor. He signs in the vocal/double bass duo "Ballads of the Father" and leads three community choirs, as well as working as a playback theatre musician and freelance workshop leader.
