Grizzlee Train, Central Coast alternative roots duo, have been crowned winners of the 2015 Byron Bay Bluesfest Busking Championships.
Drummer and harmonica player, Josh Dufficy, is from Forresters beach and guitarist and vocalist, Brandon Dodd is from Bateau Bay. The prestigious win entitled them to join the long list of legendary acts performing at this year’s Bluesfest. “To be on the same lineup as some of our musical heroes was an unbelievable experience,” Grizzlee Train drummer, Josh Dufficy, said. Grizzlee Train opened the Delta stage on Easter Monday to a crowd of young and old music lovers.
“The crowd was amazing, blues and roots is well and truly still alive in Byron, we can’t wait to get back,” said guitarist Brandon Dodd. The duo are currently working their way around the Sydney and Newcastle music scenes promoting their debut EP ‘Come Back Around’. They will be on the road at the end of May, making their way up north to the Blues on Broadbeach Festival before heading back into the studio to work on their second record.
