\nThere is only one type of\u00a0Dave Matthews Band<\/strong>\u00a0(DMB) fan and that is a hardcore one!
\nBluesfest is incredibly excited to have the industry powerhouse play at the 2020 Bluesfest and we know the masses of fans who have been requesting the jam-loving rockers presence at the festival year on year will be too. This will be\u00a0Dave Matthews Band’s\u00a0<\/strong>third visit to Bluesfest and if the two earlier visits are anything to go by… it’s going to be more of the same…. A tent full of happy, dancing Bluesfesters. As Peter Noble, Bluesfest Festival Director puts it: “Dave Matthews Band<\/strong>\u00a0are one of the top grossing, most in demand bands in the world – and finally they are coming back to Bluesfest. This is going to be magical and UNMISSABLE.”<\/p>\n

Crowded House<\/strong>\u00a0return to headline Bluesfest with an EXCLUSIVE AUSTRALIAN PERFORMANCE. Multi – APRA and ARIA award-winners,\u00a0<\/strong>BRIT award winners and MTV Video Music Award winners their albums and songs have been cornerstones of most of our collections…. and their anthems such as “Don’t Dream It’s Over’, ‘Weather With You’ and ‘Better Be Home Soon’ still resonate with a global audience of all ages.\u00a0Crowded House<\/strong>\u00a0is a long standing and much-loved vehicle for the song writing talents of Neil Finn. Formed\u00a0in Melbourne Australia\u00a0in 1985 out the ashes of New Zealand’s Split Enz\u00a0by Neil, Paul Hester and Nick Seymour, and now, 30 + years later, Neil and Nick have been energized and inspired to begin a new chapter in theCrowded House<\/strong>\u00a0story. The new chapter begins with this exclusive headline appearance at Bluesfest next Easter and there’s only one place to be \u2013 front and centre !<\/p>\n

Patti Smith and her Band\u00a0<\/strong>conquered Bluesfest in 2017 …\u00a0 and went on to win the Helpmann Award that year for Best International Contemporary Concert !\u00a0\u00a0Best-selling author, performance poet & visual artist Patti Smith’s list of artistic accomplishments doesn’t end there. She is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, recipient of the Polar Music Prize, a human rights activist and also holds the honour of\u00a0“Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres”<\/em>\u00a0 from the French Ministry of Culture. And ,\u00a0just when we thought it was all over… the legend that is\u00a0Patti Smith<\/strong>\u00a0calls and says: “I’d like to do it all over again…. I’m ready if you are !” How could we refuse !!! So, with open arms, we welcome back the Godmother of Punk,\u00a0Patti Smith and her Band<\/strong>, to Bluesfest 2020.<\/p>\n

We are so excited to welcome the legend that is\u00a0George Benson<\/strong>.to Bluesfest. Since 1977,\u00a0George Benson,\u00a0<\/strong>who is recognised as one of the world’s greatest guitarists, has won 10 Grammy Awards \u2013 and has been nominated for an additional 15. His wins include Record of the Year for “This Masquerade” (1977), Best Pop Instrumental Performance for “Breezin'” (1977) and “Mornin'” (2007), Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “On Broadway” (1979) and “Give Me the Night” (1981), and Best R&B Instrumental Performance for “Theme From Good King Bad” (1977) and “Off Broadway” (1981).\u00a0 Following the success of his Quincy Jones-produced pop album Give Me the Night in 1980,\u00a0George Benson<\/strong>‘s string of pop hits includes “Love All the Hurt Away,” “Turn Your Love Around,” “Inside Love,” “Lady Love Me (One More Time),” and “20\/20.”\u00a0 In 1990,\u00a0George Benson<\/strong>\u00a0was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Music from the Berklee College of Music. And in 2009 the National Endowment of the Arts recognized him as a Jazz Master, the nation’s highest honour in jazz.<\/p>\n

Three-time GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter, performer and producer\u00a0Brandi\u00a0Carlile<\/strong>\u00a0is currently in the midst of a landmark year following the release of her Grammy Award-winning album,\u00a0‘By The Way’, I Forgive You. Produced by Dave Cobb and Shooter Jennings and recorded at Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A, the album includes ten new songs written by\u00a0Carlile\u00a0and longtime collaborators and bandmates Tim and Phil Hanseroth, including “The Joke.” Of her breakthrough performance of the song on the 2019 live GRAMMY broadcast,\u00a0The New York Times\u00a0proclaimed, “Carlile’s vocals were robust, ragged, full of sneer and hope. On a night curiously light on impressive singing, it was an uncomplicated, genuine, cleansing thrill,” while the\u00a0Los Angeles Times\u00a0called it, “triumphant” and\u00a0Rolling Stone\u00a0described it as, “breathtaking.”<\/p>\n

John Butler,\u00a0<\/strong>singer-songwriter, producer and activist has been a member of the Bluesfest family for nearly 20 years… his songs speak of love, activism, wellness and inspiration \u2013 a message to us all of the more beautiful world that is possible.. This time around,\u00a0John Butler<\/strong>\u00a0will be performing solo .. and will be featuring his 2018 album, ‘Home’ as well as classic songs from his timeless repertoire.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Xavier Rudd<\/strong>\u00a0has captivated audiences for two decades. Nothing compares to experiencing Xavier Rudd in concert. Every show is a unique and exciting experience, His socially conscious indie-folk has been a vessel for his spirit. narrating the journey of a composer with a gift for channelling life into song. Over the course of nine studio albums and eight live records\u00a0his beloved songs of spirituality, humanity, environmentalism and human rights have resonated with the Bluesfest audience and he’ll for sure get a warm, loving reception when he takes the stage next Easter.<\/p>\n

Formed in Melbourne, Australia and an absolute favourite at Bluesfest\u00a0The Cat Empire<\/strong>\u00a0make a welcome return to Bluesfest. \u00a0Bound together by a love of music since their teens,\u00a0The Cat Empire<\/strong>\u00a0have made their name crafting infectious, genre-embracing anthems, releasing them on chart-topping, multi-platinum selling, and playing hundreds of world class, awe-inspiring shows a year. \u00a0It seems\u00a0The Cat Empire<\/strong>\u00a0brand of feel good, high-energy, smile-inducing, euphoric roots pop has a global address when it comes to the winning of hearts. Back with a swag of favourites \u2013 and some new songs … \u00a0get ready to dance yourself crazy.<\/p>\n

Such was the joy and bliss of\u00a0Morcheeba’s\u00a0<\/strong>visit to Bluesfest in 2018 .. that we wanted to bring them back as soon as possible.\u00a0With a music career spanning\u00a022\u00a0years and millions of albums sold worldwide,\u00a0Morcheeba<\/strong>\u00a0are pioneers of British trip-hop and soul.\u00a0Morcheeba\u00a0define the ‘chill out’ genre and are the perfect antidote to a big night, songs like “Rome Wasn’t Built In A Day”, “The Sea”,? “Even Though” and “Otherwise” have been played in caf\u00e9’s, lounge rooms and at Sunday sessions\u00a0around the world.\u00a0It’s always special when\u00a0Morcheeba<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>take to the Bluesfest stage.<\/p>\n

\u00a0After nearly 50 years on the road, hotel rooms are a familiar enough sight for\u00a0John Prine<\/strong>. The singer-songwriter’s first record is famously known to be full of protest songs, written during the Vietnam War when there was heightened political unrest in the White House. The animating spirit of that early music is threaded throughout\u00a0John Prine’s<\/strong>\u00a0new work too. Since day one,John Prine<\/strong>\u00a0has been a storyteller, not just between songs in a concert but within the songs themselves, and that’s what gives them such power. His primary mode of persuasion is the story, just as the primary mode of persuasion for the biblical Jesus is the parable.<\/p>\n

Jenny Lewis<\/strong>\u00a0has confirmed her highly anticipated return with her fourth solo album – On\u00a0The\u00a0Line – out mid-2019 on Warner Bros. Records. Since releasing 2014’s critically acclaimed The Voyager\u2014 which NPR likened to “California sunshine glinting off the Pacific Ocean, steeped in the West Coast pop sounds of the 1970s”\u2014\u00a0Jenny Lewis<\/strong>\u00a0has been plotting her highly anticipated return. Between headlining dates around the globe and stealing the show at Newport Folk Festival 2018, not to mention captivating audiences as special guest of Beck at Madison Square Garden, Jenny has been fastidious in recording brand new material. Featuring a who’s who of supporting players including Beck,\u00a0Benmont\u00a0Tench,\u00a0Don Was, Jim Keltner, Ringo Starr,\u00a0and Ryan Adams among others, and recorded at the distinguished Capitol Studios, ‘On The Line’ will no doubt be a triumphant and irresistible highlight of 2019.<\/p>\n

Frank Turner <\/strong>“Frank Turner\u00a0writes folk songs that harness the fury of punk and the majesty of Springsteenian rock ‘n’ roll. But more than anything else, his music is playful.” –\u00a0 NPR
\nLast seen at Bluesfest back in 2014.. punk-folk poet\u00a0Frank Turner<\/strong>\u00a0brings songs from his latest album ‘No Man’s Land’\u00a0and\u00a0the bawdy rowdiness of songs such as “Recovery”, “If Ever I Stray”, “I Still Believe” and the incisive ‘The Way I Tend To Be’ back to Bluesfest next Easter.
\nDon’t miss Frank Turner … you will regret it !
\n<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>John\u00a0<\/strong>Mayall<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>first came to Bluesfest in 1991 for the second Bluesfest. The man whose name is synonymous with the Blues, and especially the UK Blues Scene, is finally returning after an absence of 5 years.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Credited with some of the greatest blues line-ups his band The Bluesbreakers included the likes of Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, John McVie, Peter\u00a0Green ,\u00a0Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, Mick Fleetwood, Mick Taylor, Harvey Mandel, Larry Taylor,\u00a0 Jon\u00a0Hiseman,\u00a0and\u00a0Keef Hartley.\u00a0Now, a staggering 62 albums down and in his 80’s, this self-professed ‘road dog’, who hates a day off and carries his own gear at gigs, is working harder than ever and touring at a level someone half his age would find daunting ….and we are stoked he could find time to once again hit the Bluesfest stage and deliver his own Blues Masterclass.<\/p>\n

Buffy Sainte-Marie<\/strong> is the world’s foremost First Nations Artist. This Academy Award-winning songwriter and performer is touring constantly, but is also renowned as a trail-blazer, an educator, an innovative artist, a pacifist, a tireless activist focussing on the indigenous peoples of the Americas and disruptor of the status quo.<\/p>\n

Her timeless and award-wining anthems include million sellers ‘Universal Soldier’, ‘Up Where We Belong’, ‘Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee’ and ‘Until It’s Time For You To Go’
\nBuffy Sainte-Marie<\/strong>\u00a0shows no sign of slowing down and on her latest album ‘Medicine Songs’ \u00a0– fires up both new songs and old that she puts to work dealing with war, oppression, inequity, violence, bullying, racketeering and systemic greed, and balanced by some that come from the other side of that: positivity, common sense, romance, equity and enthusiasm for life.
\nDO NOT MISS\u00a0Buffy Sainte Marie<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0– She is legend.<\/p>\n

Who wouldn’t welcome back the incredible\u00a0The Marcus King Band<\/strong>\u00a0after a\u00a0sell-out Australian tour and packed out performances at Bluesfest’s 30th\u00a0Anniversary? This young musical phenomenon\u00a0delivers soulful Americana inspired by Rock’n’Roll and, together with his band, creates a blistering unit that has honed their synergy through endless touring.<\/p>\n

Having been described as a ‘stellar performer’ by numerous media publications after his 2018 performance, American Blues guitarist, singer and songwriter,\u00a0Walter Trout<\/strong>\u00a0is making a welcome return to Bluesfest Byron Bay. For over five decades,\u00a0Walter Trout<\/strong>\u00a0has performed to adoring fans around the globe and is now often called the beating heart of the modern Blues\/Rock scene. The list of icons that have inspired Walter’s work include BB King, John Mayall, Joe Bonamassa, Chuck Berry and countless others. Renowned as an icon in Blues music circles, this performance is not to be missed.<\/p>\n

With both eyes on the future and the blues in his blood, 20-year-old guitarist, vocalist and songwriter\u00a0Christone<\/strong>\u00a0“Kingfish” Ingram<\/strong>\u00a0is set to take the music world by storm.\u00a0\u00a0His debut album,\u00a0‘Kingfish’, showcases\u00a0Ingram’s blistering, raw and inspired guitar playing, soulful, deep vocals and\u00a0songwriting. He tells stories with his solos,\u00a0channelling\u00a0the spirits of all the past masters while the music he makes is his own.\u00a0Bluesfest is lucky to lock in this amazing new talent whose re-telling\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0Blues, whilst still proudly holding the torch of his predecessors, is shaking the genre to its core.<\/p>\n

We are delighted to announce that\u00a0Greensky Bluegrass<\/strong>\u00a0will be coming down under to party with us in 2020! After an unexpected cancellation for 2019, we’re thrilled, as I’m sure many fans are, that they can join us. With a name like\u00a0Greensky Bluegrass<\/strong>, it’s clear what kind of music this five-piece jam band plays. Their versatility is clearly portrayed in their electrifying live shows which are known for their ample solos showing off each member’s technical excellence. After over 18 years together, it’s nice to hear Greensky Bluegrass still working to keep things interesting for themselves and the fans. Putting real, extended improvisations on a studio album is a choice that pays off for them, but I still think the best material here is probably among their shorter songs.<\/p>\n

Larkin Poe<\/strong>\u00a0left Bluesfesters breathless after each dark, dynamic performance so it’s no wonder we are rapt to have the dynamic sister duo of Rebecca and Megan Lovell return in 2020.\u00a0Larkin Poe<\/strong>\u00a0has opened the door to a dark, portentous Blues that has an enjoyable yet sinister and threatening tone, not unlike their\u00a0ancestor, Edgar Allan Poe\u00a0….. Often referred to as ‘The Little Sisters of The Allman Brothers’ make no mistake – these girls ROCK !!!\u00a0Don’t miss\u00a0Larkin<\/strong>\u00a0Poe<\/strong>\u00a0and their beguiling mix of Gothic soul and outlaw country.<\/p>\n

The War and Treaty<\/strong>\u00a0were absolutely one of THE discovery artists of last year’s Bluesfest. So it was a ‘no-brainer’ to ask lovebirds Michael and Tanya Trotter to return next Easter.\u00a0The War and Treaty\u00a0<\/strong>deliver live shows and records that make the hairs on the back of necks stand up. Their music and stories bring tears and goosebumps, but ultimately, more is at work. Facades melt away. Walls are torn down. \u00a0The War and Treaty are a MUST SEE !!<\/p>\n
