Date: 15 – 17 January 2016
Location: Thredbo Resort, Thredbo Village, New South Wales
From 15th to 17th January 2016, Thredbo will be thriving with Blues fans and their families, as the event highlights the region’s year-round offering. This summer, Thredbo is also pleased to announce the return of Aria Hall of Fame inductee, #1 selling artist and Australian Icon Russell Morris, back due to popular demand. In contrast, this year’s event will also feature Thredbo Blues first timer and one of the hardest working musicians on the blues scene today, the spectacular Andy Just.
Fresh off the back of an outstanding season of winter headline acts, The Preatures, The Rubens and Gang of Youths, Thredbo’s dream run of musical talent continues into summer, as the alpine region announces one of the most celebrated Blues festival line-ups to date. Featuring twenty-five of Australia’s greatest blues acts including Russell Morris, Andy Just (USA) and Gail Page, the family friendly resort proves its offerings are just as impressive when the snow has melted.
Set to showcase many of Australia’s top ladies in blues, including Fiona Boyes who has received four successive USA Blues Music Awards nominations, The Voice’s Gail Page and powerfully raw songstress Genevieve Chadwick, Thredbo Blues is one not to be missed.
Thredbo Blues is also excited to welcome The Pearl Show to the stage for the first time in 2016, offering a vintage funk tour delving into the music, obsessions and passions of Janis Joplin. Celebrating a woman who exploded onto the music scene in the late 1960’s to quickly become the queen of rock ‘n’ roll and mother of thrift shop vintage funk, fans will re-live Joplin’s rebellious lifestyle and her distinctive voice with the group’s powerful renditions.
As Australia’s only true year-round alpine resort, Thredbo’s also offers a huge variety of summer activities, such as the opportunity to reach the top of Australia’s highest peak, the stunning Mt Kosciuszko, ensuring visitors to the iconic blues festival can make the most of their trip.
