If there was ever an excuse for a road trip it’s the Marysville Jazz and Blues Festival, which brings the small town of Marysville, in the foothills of the Yarra Valley, to life every year. Russell Morris will headline the 2017 festival, which will also see performances from Geoff Achison & the Soul Diggers, Lloyd Spiegel, Spectrum, Mama Alto, and heaps more.
Many of them are no strangers to Marysville, because this is the kind of festival that keeps bringing performances and crowds alike back to town.
“We adore coming to Marysville Jazz & Blues – it is always one of the highlights of our year,” gushed Mama Alto. “The festival is such a beautiful union of art and community, and the appreciation for the way music connects us all! It is particularly special to us as my grandparents regularly holidayed in Marysville, whilst Miss Chief, my pianist, is from Buxton herself! Viva Marysville Jazz & Blues!”
See what the buzz is all about at this year’s Marysville Jazz and Blues weekend, from October 20 to 22. Tickets are on sale now, ranging from $50 for the Friday evening pass to $125 for all three days. Accommodation packages are also available, bundling shows and accommodation at Vibe Hotel Marysville, Saladin Lodge, Marysville Garden Cottages, Marysville Caravan and Holiday Park or Camp Marysville.
