Chill City, Chill Island’s urban dwelling cousin, will be held in the heart of Melbourne at the Alexandra Gardens on Good Friday – that’s the 10th of April.
This one day event will deliver the finest collection of blues, roots, soul, rock, R&B, country and world acts from across the globe with festivities taking place in one of Melbourne’s most beautiful gardens, in the heart of the city.
Playing their only 2009 Melbourne show before heading into the studio to record their next album, John Butler Trio will headline the festival. They’re supported by one of the world’s great songwriters, and should-be headline act *Paul Kelly presenting a – œbest of’ set from his amazing repertoire.
New Orleans’ own Soul Queen Betty Harris will hit the stage with Australia’s own masters of deep funk and super heavy soul The Bamboos, with singer/songwriter Ben Kweller, dub-cover version specialists The Easy Star All Stars and Mamie Minch also making the trip out from the States.
Local acts rounding out the day’s line up include the – œlil bit country, lil bit soul, lil bit rock, all class’ Dan Sultan and the acoustic flavours of Whitely.
What better way to kick off the Easter long weekend than by relaxing in the beautiful Alexandra Gardens and enjoying the best of Australian and international blues, roots, soul, rock, reggae, dub, funk, and country music, with a glass of wine in your hand?
