Bringing together more than 60 Australian-only acts – including Kasey Chambers, Bill Chambers, Archie Roach, Sara Storer, Busby Marou and The Flood, to name a few – the inaugural four-day Murwillumbah Country Roots Festival was held across four distinct performance spaces at the Murwillumbah Showground at the weekend.
Festival organiser ARIA-nominated Australian country musician Lou Bradley acknowledged the help provided by locals in the shire and surrounds helped ensure the new music festival kicked off its first year with great success.
‘I think we all know that this is the start of something that will grow and develop in the years to come,’ said Lou.
