Girrakool Blues Festival & BBQ is shaping up to be a very special day at the Mt Penang Gardens on the Central Coast for the Girrakool Blues Festival & BBQ. With the announcement of the 11 band line up, there is something for everyone, and is guaranteed to be not only a great event full of fantastic music, but a way of immersing ourselves in aboriginal heritage and culture, while feasting on soul food from our Slow-cooked Texan Style BBQ's.
Mississippi, 4 time winner Blues Music Award's Drummer of the Year Cedric Burnside will headline the Festival. Australian Festival Favourites, The Backsliders, will provide the blues 'not roots' of the festival. Adding to the New Orleans theme, is keyboardist, Clayton Doley with his band Clayton Doley's Bayou Billabong. This years the Voice Finalist Gail Page will belt out some powerful soul drenched blues, while Multi-award winning Aboriginal BB King, Buddy Knox and Sultry singer Kate Lush will take to the Girrakool Stage, under the big Oak Tree in the Amphitheatre section of the Gardens.
Set among the Wondabyne Sculptures, rock away with the Dai Pritchard Blues Band. Feel the heat of the dueling Organs with Carolyn "Pinecone" Packer & Alison Penny. Get your wings flapping for Chicken Train Skifflers, see winners of 2015 Bluesfest Busking Comp Grizzlee Train, and local alternate-Country Star Jessica Belle.
Girrakool Blues Festival & BBQ is named after the nearby waterfalls, and quite befittingly is Aboriginal for "Place of still water" ie Muddy Water, will be held on the first weekend in March every year.
In a New Orleans styled theme, the Festival will feature a wonderful day of quality, international, national and local blues and roots acts, within the beautiful surrounds of Mt Penang Garden Parklands, in a family friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
Patrons can bring their rugs and chairs to enjoy the afternoon of world-class music, and soul food from our selectively picked stalls, including a unique American Southern style BBQ.
Apart from the music it will have a strong Aboriginal content, with indigenous bands, Welcome to Country Ceremony, Womens activities and with the potential of short tours to the Girrakool waterfalls and engravings.
