The last Brackets and Jam event for the year will be held at Kincumba Mountain on Saturday, December 3 from 1pm, with a top line-up of entertainmen
Residents are invited to bring a friend, a picnic, a smile, a chair or rug and sit back and enjoy the ambience.
Providing the entertainment will be Ruby Shay, the Two-Buck Band, The Moths and Peter Healy & the Rhythm Riders.
The afternoon will also include drum jams with house drums available.
Ruby Shay is a singer songwriter and cover artist from the Central Coast who has been taking the Open Mic and Karaoke scene by storm – both as a participant and a host.
As an original artist, Shay is influenced by artists such as Brooke Fraser, Sara Bareilles and Missy Higgins and writes well-structured songs with heart felt lyrics.
The Two Buck Band plays blues-oriented music with country, jazz, zydeco and rockabilly influences.
MC and vocalist is Paul Wilson, with Walter de Jong on Hammond, Warren Henry on drums, Mick Field on fretless bass, Peter Tos on the gold top Les Paul, and Ian Armfield on slide.
Emerging from Copacabana, The Moths play a heady brew of original psychedelic rock, mixing it up with a dash of funk, a splash of jazz and a twist of pop.
Peter Healy & the Rhythm Riders features Healy on guitars, vocals, harmonica and songwriting, Phil (King Rhythm) King on drums, percussion and vocals, Matt Butler on bass, Paul Eagle on lead guitar, Warren ‘FooBah’ Henry on drums and Lach Whetham on keyboards.
The band plays original music and selected covers incorporating progressive retro, Americana, funky blues and soul.
The community built venue is a mud brick and natural timber building which sits in a bushland reserve, with panoramic views of Brisbane Water and magnificent sunsets over the hills beyond.
The Mountain itself holds a strong significance for the Aboriginal community and has been a long-standing meeting place for Central Coast people.
The rock outcrop situated in front of the kiosk forms a natural pool which is said to have once been a sacred birthing place for women.
The Mountain now gives birth to many new beginnings as the hub of creative community arts in the southern Central Coast region.
The fun kicks off at 1pm at the Kincumba Mountain Kiosk at the top of Island View Dr.
Entry is $10 adults with accompanied children under 16 free.
