In lieu of being able to stage the Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival an online streamed event will feature no less than 65 great acts from USA, Germany, Canada, Japan, as well as from all over Australia.
They’ll be local content with artists in Central Victoria given the opportunity to show off their talents, thanks to the video production team at Power AV and a limited number of our valued local partner venues.
The ‘Main Event’ of the 3-day program will be a concert streamed live from Ulumbarra Theatre featuring Echuca’s Benny Walker, This Way North from Yackandandah and Wodonga’s Dean Haitani.
The entire program will be free to view via the Bendigo Blues Facebook Page and via Bendigo Blues Youtube Channel, but contributions welcome via the homepage of the Bendigo Blues Website, if you feel inclined to support this and other online events and the paid gigs they create for the independent artists we work with.
