A special blues day will be held at the historic Mangrove Mountain Hall on Saturday, August 3, to celebrate International Blues Music Day.
The annual day is celebrated around the world on the first Saturday in August and the Central Coast is set to join in following the success of last year’s event.
This year’s event will feature a stellar line-up led by some of Australia’s best guitarists.
Jesse Redwing, who was a semi-finalist at this year’s International Blues Challenge in Memphis, will appear along with his all-star band featuring legendary bass guitarist Harry Brus.
Also on the bill will be the Nathan Beretta Band, currently number one on the Australian Blues Music Airplay Chart, the multi award winning Simon Kinny Lewis Band and 2024 Blues Award winner Ewan Lund.
With the evening show already booked out, a second matinee show will be held as the musos throw their support behind well-known music photographer and videographer, Greg Foster and his Mum who were involved in a bad car accident that changed their lives forever.
All funds raised from the matinee show will be used to buy specialised care equipment and support to help Foster care for his mother, who now needs full-time care at home.
The show will be all ages family friendly with great food available to buy, BYO drinks and snacks.
Doors will open for the matinee show at 12.30pm with live music from 1pm-4pm.
Tickets cost $40 (adult) and $20 youth (12-16).
Children aged under 12 accompanied by a paying adult will be admitted free.
