Amid the doom and gloom of music festivals folding, the Blues Guitar Roadshow has been a ray of hope with full houses and rave reviews.
The ensemble spectacular is coming to Castlemaine for the first time on Saturday November 23.
Described as “the thrill of a music festival in two and half hours”, the Blues Guitar Roadshow is a whole new format.
The show boasts a large lineup of some the country’s most respected blues musicians, featured in showcase sets and a show-stopping All Star Jam.
John McNamara, who runs the Ballarat Blues Festival, is one half of the multi-award winning act The McNaMarr Project and is the show’s organiser.
“The show is different every time, the lineup changes, the song choices are different. But every time it’s like lightning in a bottle,” he said.
“It’s unlike any other show around due to its collaborative nature. You can see how much fun the performers are having on stage. Everyone respects each other so much and the audience really picks up on it.”
The lineup performing at the Theatre Royal Castlemaine will feature; Lloyd Spiegel, Geoff Achison, Jimi Hocking (Screaming Jets), The McNaMarr Project (Andrea Marr, John McNamara), George Kamikawa, Lisa Baird, Shane Gilbert, a tremendous house band and more.
“My goal is to put on the absolute best value-for-money show around,” McNamara said.
“It’s slick, with Andrea Marr and Keith McNamara as MCs, amazing performers coming together in a wonderful fully seated venue.
“This will be our 12th show, before hitting the road in 2025 for more interstate shows,” he said.
“We have something really special and the future looks bright.”
Book your seat and be part of this celebration of live music and blues guitar in what promises to be a feel-good night with some of the country’s best.
Tickets are available at Theatre Royal Castlemaine or online at theatreroyalcastlemaine.oztix.com.au.
