First Acts Announced For Great Southern Blues Festival

The first weekend in October will prove to be a veritable feast of blues for those who choose to head to Narooma on the South Coast of New South Wales for the Great Southern Blues Festival's big return from Friday 4 October through to Sunday 6.

The 2013 event will so far feature San Franciscan bluesman Chris Cain, Virginian traditional blues and gospel outfit The Holmes Brothers, a one off reunion show of Darren Jack, Chris Nable and Grant Cummerford's power trio Third Degree, Aussie rock legend and great blues player in his own right, Russell Morris and old favourites of the festival, The Backsliders.

More announcements are due in the coming weeks.

The festival will have 250 'First Up' tickets, which are discounted adult full season passes, on sale through their website from Monday 15 April, with further advance tickets being made available on Wednesday 15 May.
