94.9 MainFM will be celebrating all the diversity and talent of homegrown artists with a full week dedicated to playing Australian music in honour of Australian Music Month.
Celebrating everything that’s great about Australian music, listeners can expect to hear even more local content, special programs, interviews, retrospectives and playlists.
“Ausmusic Week has always been a fantastic opportunity for us to support Australian artists and creators who are still experiencing challenging times,” said Steph Riddel, station manager at MainFM.
“Our presenters are passionate about Ausmusic Week so they’ll be increasing their focus on Australian music across the grid.”
Ausmusic Week at MainFM coincides with Ausmusic T-shirt Day on Friday November 18, an initiative that raises money for Support Act.
Support Act is the music industry’s charity, offering crisis relief services to musicians, crew and music workers who are unable to work due to ill health, injury, mental health problems or some other crisis, such as COVID-19.
Join the MainFM team by signing up for Ausmusic T-Shirt Day. Visit mainfm.net for details.
On the back of Ausmusic Week, MainFM is organising a gathering for presenters and listeners on Sunday November 13 for a picnic and photoshoot. Bring the kids, the footy, something to eat and drink. Canines welcome, and everyone is encouraged to wear their Ausmusic t-shirts for a photo shoot.
“We love connecting with our listeners in the community so we’re encouraging everyone to come down to the Sunken Oval, wearing their Aussie band t-shirts of course,” Steph said.
