FROM grooving chilled bluesy tunes to rock, the Sydney Blues and Roots Festival has something for everybody.
Sharing the headlining duties with Black Sorrows for the three day event are Busby Marou, who will add their melodic, folk and roots voice to the mix when the festival returns to the Windsor CBD for the fifth time, later this month.
It brings with it some of the most successful, longest running acts from across the nation.
‘‘We are on debut for the festival so we are pretty excited,’’ Tom Busby said.
‘‘I have actually been to the Hawkesbury before.
‘‘I have written a couple of the songs on the album there, so it will be good to be back.’’
He said the band was excited to be performing at the festival but they were also keen to watch other bands perform throughout the weekend, while catching up with old friends from the industry.
‘‘I think we are at a peak of our live performance status, so it will be a fantastic experience,’’ he said.
The band’s debut album, released three years ago, recently hit gold status on the charts.
‘‘We never thought the album would ever make someone else’s hands other than our family, he said.
‘‘It is extremely exciting considering it was released a while ago.
‘‘People are still buying it and they are still enjoying it.’’
The Blues and Roots Festival will be held at Hollands Paddock, Windsor, behind Windsor Riverview Centre, from October 24 to 26.
