GREAT SOUTHERN BLUES FESTIVAL
BATEMANS BAY - OCTOBER 1-3 2010

Court Yard Hounds - two thirds of the Dixie Chicks, sisters Martie Maguire & Emily Robson, bring to you their new age bluegrass and country rock sound.

The Travellers - Darryl Braithwaite, Brian Cadd, Joe Camilleri and Russell Morris bring you The Travellers. In the time-honoured tradition of musical brothers combining forces, The Travellers bring together four of Australia’s most successful live rock performers. With a cheeky nod to the Travelling Wilburys and more irreverence than Julia Gillard, they debut as a foursome especially for the Great Southern Blues Festival.

Delta Spirit – straight from Long Beach, California come this alt-country group making music that softens our losses with a hybrid of rock and northern soul, incorporating unconvenvtional instruments such as trash can lids.

Floyd Vincent & The Childbrides – bringing a nuanced interpretation of South American dance rhythmns and traditional rock and pop, this rock act is set to break new ground at the festival this year.

Swamphouse – with a history steeped in the rich tradition of old school R&B, Gary Lothian and Nicholas Churkin bring to you, Swamphouse. If roots, boogie, swamp and hard drivin’ Delta suits your palette – we suggest you strap on your dancing shoes and brace yourself for one hell of a good time.

Blue Murder – a powerful funky R&B group with a hard edge, this seven piece band is fronted by guitarist Peter Rich plus the talents of many Sydney and south coast musicians.

Christian Power & Lonesome Train – having launched their latest album ‘Cool Hand’ at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, stand by as they bring their ultimate blend of Aussie rock, blues, country, honky tonk and rockabilly tunes to the South Coast.

Tony Jaggers & Friends – this Australian roots stalwart will stagger audiences with his eclectic mix of acoustic tunes with a blues and roots twist.

Penny & The Mystics - having built up a strong following on the South Coast with their high energy blend of reggae, folk/rock and new age roots since they formed in late 2008, Penny & The Mystics are set to shake the festival to its very core.

Adam Hole & Marji Curran Band – this lightning bolt duo are getting audiences stirred up all over Australia and beyond with their high energy, foot stomping roots, blues and rock.

St Peter’s Blues Band - formed in late 2008 as a result of a core group of students expressing an interest in exploring the roots of modern music and playing ‘the blues’, see what they bring to the festival this year.

Rail Jam – 2010 winners of the AAMPLIFY Battle of the Bands competition, Rail Jam comprises of Carroll College students playing their original songs.
