The Northern, Byron Bay have the remedy for anyone who’s got the blues – over four big days, ‘Blues at The Northern’ is delivering live music across two stages headlined by Jeff Martin (The Tea Party), Paul A. George (Tijuana Cartel), Minnie Marks, the Mason Rack Band, plus a stacked lineup from start to finish – and the absolute blues chaser is that the entire four days are free!
Byron is turning on a ‘festival’ of blues over the weekend starting on Thursday at 7pm with Katie Palmer in the Backroom, and finishing with Jesse Witney and Kane Muir in the Backroom, and JB‘s Blues Breakers starting off things in the front bar.
Friday is going to be very good, starting in the Backroom at 7pm and welcoming Paul A. George from Tijuana Cartel onto the stage at 11:15pm. The front bar will have the Dan and Hannah duo, and Poly & Co.
Saturday will see five great acts culminating with a show from the Mason Rack Band in the Backroom, and firing up with the Harry Nicholls Band in the front bar.
On Sunday there will still be plenty more to see with the thriller band, Marshall OKell, and headlining Jeff Martin from The Tea Party, followed by the Donny Shades Band in the Backroom, and in the front bar from 5pm The Swamps followed by Eric Downer.
The fun starts on Thursday from 6pm, Friday from 7pm, Saturday from 7pm, and Sunday from 5pm.
