DAY 2 LIVE FROM ULUMBARRA THEATRE STREAM STARTS AT 7:50PM...
After an incredible day of diverse blues and roots, get yourself ready for the Festival's main event, LIVE from Ulumbarra Theatre featuring Benny Walker (Echuca), This Way North (Yackandandah) and Dean Haitani (Wodonga).
Presented jointly with Bendigo Venues & Events, Dean will have you enthralled with his unique finger-picking style melded with soulful earthy vocals, drawing inspiration from blues and roots music, and his love of funk and old school R&B.
Next up is two-piece band, This Way North, with drummer/vocalist Cat Leahy and guitarist/vocalist Leisha Jungalwalla creating a uniquely full, expansive sound that translates effortlessly from the studio to the stage. They play with more passion and energy than a 10-piece band, drumming up a contagious euphoria. Big, rhythmic, spacious and saturated with summer, they invite you to turn up the volume and let loose.
Taking a huge day of musical talent to a close is Yorta Yorta man from Echuca, Benny Walker. The real deal and a star in the making, his killer voice and epic tales are mixed with a deep groove and passion for the land. He has performed alongside some of Australia’s finest, including Archie Roach, Alex Lloyd, Blue King Brown and Tim Rogers and appeared at the most prestigious music festivals including Bluesfest in Byron Bay.
‘Across The Wires’ is streaming FREE online from Friday 6 November to Sunday 8 November 2020 across Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival website, Facebook page and YouTube channel. Check out the website here for more details and watch out for more artist announcements coming soon.
