Blues & Roots Showcasefundraiser At The Vine - Has Ended

After another brilliant November Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival in 2016, 2017's supporting events will again be limited in number but packed with even more fresh talent and brilliant music, at some of our favourite local venues - starting with the first Showcase/Fundraiser event of the new year at The Rifle Brigade Hotel on Sunday Feb 19th.

The packed list of acts confirmed to perform at this year's BB&RMF Winter Showcase event includes some of Bendigo's best, along with some fresh faces and exciting sounds from the larger blues, soul, jazz and original music circuits who've put their respective hands up to support our not-for-profit community music festival. Here's some of the acts playing the Vine on July 16: The Deans of Soul, Catfish Voodoo, Nardia Rose Band, Matt Katsis, Kelly Brouhaha ., The Barren Spinsters, Tasha Zappala, Wayne Jury, William Alexander, Bill Barber & The Revellators, Dave Diprose, Savannah Rose, Mariah McCarthy, Mr Wilby & Me... with more to be announced!

As always, these artists are donating their time and talents for this Fundraiser, as do the Festival’s volunteer committee and crew, to help boost the kitty to pay for the Festival itself, to be held on November 9-12, 2017.

To continue to fund this predominantly free festival, your support and assistance is needed. So spread the word and bring a posse to the Golden Vine Hotel Bendigo on Sunday 16 July and help grow the burgeoning music scene we've managed to revitalise together over the last 7 years or so in Central Victoria.

On behalf of our local venues, local and visiting artists, and all of us who enjoy a wide range of live music to choose from on a weekly basis, ‘Thank You’ for your ongoing support of grass-roots music events!

Tickets for the Winter Showcase event are available at the door on the day and are $15 for adults, $5 for under-18s (with under-12s free). Friends of the Festival (FOF Members) enter free - FOF card must be presented.

The live music will start at 12pm sharp and continue through till 8pm.
