Adventure Bay Blues And Roots Festival

22/07/2024

One of the nice things about festivals, is uncovering excitingly new and upcoming talent.
This year, we were honoured to catch Lewis Beck matching it with (and possibly even exceeding) the 'older guys' in Tea Time Houdinis. Already showing talent beyond his years.
One for folks to keep watch for.

There's a guy that regular festival goers will all know and love, and it's that irrepressible joker extraordinaire, Eddo.
There is a serious side to this guy however, and sometimes he lets it slip through when up on stage performing, as he did here during the Jam Night.

If Checkerboard Lounge the band didn't blow you away, then you obviously weren't there. Carl Pannuzzo and the band were simply outstanding.

So....Adventure Bay Blues & Roots Festival is over for 2024. Such a great time and event it turned out to be.
There was a defining moment when the Jam Night crossed paths with the Featured Artist Night, and here it is, as captured by festival photographer, Fullonrockphotography . So great to see De-Anna Parkinson mixing it with Jimi Steele of The Bad Dad Orchestra as the final night came to a close.
