Are music festivals your thing? Possibly some country music? Then don’t miss the Groundwater Country Music Festival, Australia’s fastest-growing country music event and a sign of the genre’s expanding appeal there.
Several of Australia’s top country music performers will travel to the Gold Coast for the yearly Groundwater Country Music Festival. The seaside festival set on October 28 to 30 combines “Country with the Coast” in an original way, is free to attend and features top country music artists on several outdoor stages and at locations across the Broadbeach area.
Yes, you are free to come and go as you choose because the festival is an open-air, non-ticketed event in the Broadbeach precinct. However, they have a “first in best dressed” policy if you’re hoping to get a front-row seat for one of their headliners.
In connection with that, below is a brief rundown of some of the performers you can see during the 2022 Groundwater Country Music Festival.
Abbie Ferris: The epitome of a true-blue country girl is Abbie Ferris. Music and the great outdoors were constants in Abbie’s life as she grew up on a 90-acre farm in the south Australian town of Mallala.
Andy Golledge: Andy, a Tamworth native, drew inspiration from his parent’s record collection when he was young. After making a name for himself in Sydney’s live music bar scene, Andy officially announced his contract with I OH YOU in 2019 with the release of his debut single, “Run To The River,” to acclaim.
Brooke McClymont and Adam Eckersley: In 2018, Brooke McClymont and her spouse and musical collaborator Adam Eckersley released their debut album as a duo, titled “adam & brooke.” The CD got enthusiastic reviews from the country music world and won numerous accolades and awards. The outcomes are their first recorded work since their well-received 2018 debut, which is currently a song called “Roll On Baby.”
Cass Hopetoun: Cass Hopetoun experienced a significant turning point in 2020. She won the Tamworth Songwriters Association talent competition in January and then independently released her first single, “Shots,” in March.
Dan Davidson: Dan Davidson, a country music sensation from Alberta, has recently gained popularity. It’s simple to forget that he’s still an independent artist with six CCMA nominations, ten ACMA awards, a gold album, a #1 Canadian song and record, top 20 charting singles, and hundreds of concerts. Watch for his forthcoming song “Roll With It,” which features his close friends, The Road Hammers.
Open Season Band: Despite being remote from the Tennessee-based country music scene, Open Season sound anything but distant! This modest Brisbane-based six-piece embodies the exciting new wave of country-folk music by fusing traditional folk and contemporary country in a way similar to genre heavyweights Old Crow Medicine Show and Zac Brown Band.
