This year’s event features the multi-award-winning Simon Kinny-Lewis Band, South Coast blues/rock outfit Corey Legge and the Legacy, plus Central Coast favourites the Jye Sharp Band.

The Simon Kinny-Lewis band is one of Australia’s premier blues acts, with Kinny-Lewis’s electrifying guitar skills truly world class. 

He has performed/recorded with the cream of the blues crop including legendary USA blues guitarist Robbern Ford, Chris Cain, Kirk Fletcher and Ray Beadle. 

With four number one albums on the Australian Blues Music Charts already under their belt, the Simon Kinny-Lewis band will launch their new album at the Blues and Roots Revival. 

Corey Legge and The Legacy

A Blues on the Mountain and festival favourite selling out shows in 2017 and 2021 with his previous band The Swamp Stompers, Corey Legge is back with his new blues/rock band, Corey Legge and The Legacy.

The band features Legge’s signature blues/rock guitar mastery and great vocals backed by an all-star rhythm section with Adrian “Red” Herbert (Frank Sultana Blues Band) on drums.

Coast favourite Jye Sharp has been setting the festival scene alight sharing the stage with his band on major festivals line-ups such as the Lighthouse festival and Rolling Sets.

With influences from artists such as John Butler trio shining through Sharp’s musical style, the band is winning a growing loyal legion of fans with its coastal surf roots rock fusion.

Having enjoyed being a part of the live music scene from an early age, event organiser Ryan Howard said young music fans and families often missed out with many events being 18+ only.

“When organising Blues and Roots Revival one of the key elements was to create a boutique community-focused live music event for the Central Coast that every age group could enjoy in a relaxed family friendly environment,” he said.

“Featuring a great line-up of touring blues and roots artists, along with local talent from right here on the Coast, this year’s Blues and Roots Revival is an event where you can bring your own drinks and snacks, dance and enjoy a great day of live music with friends and family in a picturesque hinterland location.” 

The doors will open at 3pm, with live music from 4pm.

Great food will be available to purchase or BYO welcome. 

Tickets to the event are limited and pre booking is recommended.
