They included the <strong>Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Buddy Guy, Jack Johnson, Elvis Costello, Aaron Neville <\/strong>and<strong> Dr John.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" dir=\"LTR\">With Bluesfest 2015 \u2013 not only are we presenting arena rockers <strong>Lenny Kravitz, Ben Harper<\/strong> and the <strong>Black Keys<\/strong> \u2013 we are presenting Bluesfest with a contemporary look to the superstars of Blues &amp; Roots music of the future \u2013 featuring <strong>Paolo Nutini, David Gray, Ben Howard, The Alabama Shakes<\/strong>, and many more\u2026..and now with our latest announcement containing a spicy mix of overseas and Aussie artists we add yet another layer of topping to what is beginning to look like our best Bluesberry cake yet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" dir=\"LTR\">All these artists are so great in their own way, but I would just like to point out a couple \u2013 <strong>Declan Kelly\u2019s Diesel n\u2019Dub<\/strong> \u2013 delivering the songs of <strong>Midnight Oil<\/strong> in a Reggae dub style featuring some of the greats of Aussie Roots and Indigenous music including<strong>Emma Donovan, Alex Lloyd, Pat Powell<\/strong>, <strong>Radical Son, Tony Hughes<\/strong> from King Tide \u2013 and many more to be announced \u2013 with a big band backing them up &#8211; it\u2019s going TO BE SOMETHING \u2013 a don\u2019t miss. If you have been listening to the album you\u2019ll know what I am talking about.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Karl S. Williams, for me, has delivered one of the great Aussie albums this year \u2013 every track is a knockout \u2013 an astonishing debut that has HUGE FUTURE written all over it \u2013 I love discovering artists who have that special IT \u2013 the Zeitgeist \u2013 watch out for<strong> Karl<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" dir=\"LTR\">And <strong>Augie March<\/strong> in my opinion, have just delivered their best album of their career \u2013 we welcome this major Australian talent back to Bluesfest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" dir=\"LTR\">What a year it\u2019s going to be!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" dir=\"LTR\">With this announcement Bluesfest is adding some real meat to each day of the festival. This one is all about our own Australian artists with a few Americans blended in. All up 11 new artists are added which means you now have 11 more reasons to not miss Bluesfest! Just in case you are wondering if this it&#8230;.of course it isn\u2019t. True to Bluesfest fashion more amazing artists will be added in January and in the lead up to the festival.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" dir=\"LTR\">On the note of tickets: They are selling fast and patrons are urged not to wait too long with their purchase and in the spirit of Christmas, Bluesfest tickets make the best presents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" dir=\"LTR\">Read on to hear why this announcement is a special one:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" dir=\"LTR\">Easter Sunday &amp; Easter Monday at Bluesfest have gotten even hotter with the addition of US Soul Legend <strong>Charles Bradley &amp; His Extraordinaires<\/strong>. Charles Bradley will be bringing funk, soul and his remarkable story to Bluesfest for the very first time in 2015! Along for the ride will be his all-star band, comprising of members of The Dap Kings, The Menahan St Band, Budos Band and others. He puts on a more energetic show than most groups half his age and is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. He leaves his heart and soul out there on the stage and no surprise he is being named the world\u2019s latest soul sensation. Backed by His Extraordinaires this show will surely stick in your memory for quite some time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" dir=\"LTR\">Our own <strong>Augie March<\/strong> are bringing their forever rising star to Bluesfest on the Thursday. 2014 saw them win a Gold Record, Multiple ARIA nominations, two sold out national tours and a Triple J nomination for Double J Artist of the year. <strong>Augie March<\/strong> is one of the hottest Aussie bands around right now.They are that rare gem of a band that has both critical and commercial success, having their songs playing on almost every radio format in the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" dir=\"LTR\">Hawaii-based singer\/guitarist\/songwriter <strong>Donavon Frankenreiter<\/strong> is bringing his infectious, acoustic bliss to Bluesfest 2015 for two superb performances \u2013 one on Friday and one on Saturday.

A repeat Australian ARIA Top 40 artist, he has had tracks featured in several movies, and even recorded an <em>Abbey Roads<\/em> session. He is one perfect Bluesfest act.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" dir=\"LTR\">Anyone out there who has not heard about the <strong>Melbourne Ska Orchestra? <\/strong>There can\u2019t be many people who haven\u2019t.<strong> <\/strong>They are a huge festival favourite and were nominated for the Best Live Artist at the recent ARIA Awards. When the mass of musicians hit stage with their dozens of horns, rhythm section, organists, singers fronted by the one and only charismatic Nicky Bomba and their music goes off; there is no one in the tent that can stand still. It\u2019s addictive, it\u2019s massive and this tent will be rocking like no other and not just on one occasion but two. <strong>MSA <\/strong>will bring the house down on Saturday and Sunday folks!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" dir=\"LTR\">And this is just the half of it!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" dir=\"LTR\">On Thursday and Sunday we welcome American <strong>Justin Townes Earle <\/strong>to the stage \u2013 this man is a musical magician, incredibly talented and an extremely generous performer.

For all you Oil fans out there, this one is for you!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" dir=\"LTR\">Ash Grunwald: Another absolutely talented musician from our shores with a swag of award wins is going to deliver his musical gifts on the Easter Sunday and Monday. Blistering live sets at sell-out shows throughout the world have had critics and fans raving about his inimitable blend of roots, blues, beats and a whole lotta groove, and after a two-year departure from Australian touring, <strong>Ash Grunwald<\/strong> is back to Bluesfest after too many years to share his new music and the love with local audiences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" dir=\"LTR\">Blue King Brown is Australia\u2019s premier urban Roots &amp; Reggae powerhouse. Their cross-generational groove and socially conscious sound is led by the multi-talented, relentless energy of Nattali Rize. Powerful vocal &amp; lyrical deliveries meet a roots, rock &amp; afro groove mash-up built on an irrepressible percussive foundation. Fans will get to hear songs from the ARIA nominated artist\u2019s new album <em>BORN FREE (2014)<\/em>at Bluesfest on Easter Sunday and Monday.The second single \u2018<em>All Nations\u2019<\/em> has been played on various Triple J programs in recent months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" dir=\"LTR\">The Beautiful Girls are returning to Bluesfest on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday with their pioneering Australian surf-roots-reggae sounds, <em>that<\/em> heart-on-the-sleeve voice of Mat McHugh, and brand new material.The Sydney-born collective have enjoyed glowing reviews, international tours, chart success and multiple award nominations since its formation a decade ago. Since<em>Periscopes<\/em> became a certified Triple J radio hit in the summer of 2002, the band\u2019s accolades have continued to burgeon. The 2010 album peaked at number 18 on the ARIA charts, debuted at number 1 in the Australian Independent Chart, and number 7 in the US Billboard Reggae Albums Chart. The new album \u2018<em>Dancehall Days\u2019<\/em> was released on McHugh\u2019s Separatista label in October 2014, preceding an international tour in 2015. The music is flowing, the band is in shape, and they are going to present the familiar and the soon-to-be-familiar songs of <strong>The Beautiful Girls<\/strong> at Bluesfest 2015.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" dir=\"LTR\">Australian musician <strong>Steve Smyth<\/strong> has been touring hard and making a name for himself in Australia and abroad, recent feats include sell out shows in Spain, playing alongside the likes of The Killers and Massive Attack and back home a Triple J nomination for Double J Artist of the year (alongside Augie March). If you enjoyed Ben Caplan\u2019s howling vocals at Bluesfest in 2013, <strong>Steve Smyth<\/strong> is a don\u2019t miss in 2015.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Karl S. Williams desire to connect with the universal soul is clearly evident to those who see him live &#8211; an experience so emotionally charged that all are unavoidably drawn to it and uplifted. Having been compared to greats like Son House to Antony Hegarty and Nina Simone, it is surprising he came to music late, picking up the guitar in the evenings while working on a coffee plantation in Northern New South Wales. His 2013 debut <em>Heartwood <\/em>was heralded by Noel Mengel of The Courier Mail as \u201cso good it might even save your life\u201d.
