Posted on 24 Oct, 2017
It’s nearly that time of the year again, the weather is warming up, the holidays are coming into play and festive season is just around the corner.
Looking to enjoy some summer action in the Snowies? The 24th Annual Thredbo Blues Festival, happening across the 19-21 January 2018 is the perfect chance to get away for a weekend and get your head in the clouds! Stepping it up, yet again, the Thredbo Blues Festival boasts an amazing line-up of exceptional Australian and International Blues artists who you can enjoy in an up close and intimate environment. 3 days of blues, dancing, eating and drinking…yes please!
A standout of this year’s festival, will no doubt be the powerhouse combination of Gail Page with the James Southwell Band. When you put one of Australia’s hottest young singers and guitarists (James Southwell), and a cookin’ band with Gail Page singing up a storm, it’s an amazing combination you don’t want to miss!
Other big names to play include Doug Henthorn and the Rick Melick Band and Tony Sarno and the Darren Jack Band. Crowd favourite, 19 Twenty, are returning this year to bless us with their rockin’ tunes, alongside Blues Arcadia, Vdelli, Jim Finn and the Lachy Doley Group, plus many, many more.
The girls are flying the flag high in Thredbo this year too, make sure you catch the Women of Blues and Soul Showcase, Mary Jane Guiney Band, Marji Curren Band, Miss Whiskey, Hussey Hicks and Roshani…your hips are sure to be shaking.
