Tickets are now on sale so get in early to secure your spot!

Rattlin' Bones Blackwood:

A master in the art of voodoo-driven sonic medicine, his live shows are a hypnotic vibrational exorcism.

He's a one-man-band who believes in the possession of the spirit, the healing properties of a hip shakin' shuffle, and the sonic mysteries of a cranked valve amplifier.

Hailing from the regional wastelands of Sunbury Victoria, his show was born on the streets of Chattanooga, Tennessee and Atlanta, Georgia with a donated guitar, a plywood board and two milk crates... He now has better guitars, half a drum kit, and a more comfortable seat.

Always a crowd favourite, Bones has wowed audiences at Syndey Festival, Hobart's Dark Mofo Festival, and blues festivals in between.

The Ratbags:

From a dilapidated shed in the heart of Bendigo, The Ratbags spent two long years bickering over what style of music they wanted to play. With roots in Blues, Folk and Punk Rock, the boys eventually decided to combine each of those styles creating an energy driven stage performance, trading the melancholy and sadness from traditional blues for a more upbeat and fun approach. Covering such artists as; Freddie King, Louis Jordan, Muddy Waters and Johnny Cash, The Ratbags honor the roots of the artist they cover and reproduce the songs in their own charismatic, charming way.
