THE WALTERS are hailed as one of Brisbane’s top blues bands of late…These guys are grounded in the traditions of the golden era of the blues, paying tribute to some of the masters like Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters…and some!
The funk element of this year’s festival is delivered by local band INVISIBLE FRIEND. Hard hitting psychedelic funk, rock and roots music to bring on the diversity of local roots talent on the north coast.
THRILLBILLY STOMP DUO are bringing a cajun, blues hillbilly feel to the show. Featuring guitar, piano accordion, mandolin, white hair and red lips, this duo will really impress.
DAVEY BOB RAMSEY, once based in the hills of Dunoon, plays a country edged, swamp style of blues that takes you through the 20’s, 30’s and the now! A combination of original and trad tunes, delivered in a down-home yeeha style that only Davey Bob does…like he does!
