The Fumes: With a new lineup and new album behind them, The Fumes have a fierce energy to unleash onto their rocking live show. Blending blues and rock-n-roll in an exciting way, this group has something special to offer that suggest a balls-out, raucous show for live audiences.
Thu, Feb 25, The Brighton Up Bar
Eugene ‘Hideaway’ Bridges: For much of his 50-year career Bridges has looked to the legendary BB King as a major idol and influence on his style. Less than a year after losing BB King, Bridges will be performing a tribute show in Sydney this weekend as part of his new albums promotional tour. Fittingly, it was Bridges who opened for King on his last Australian show, so this will be a very true tribute to a legend, with plenty of BB King songs mixed in with Bridges originals.
Fri, Feb 26, The Basement
Catherine Traicos: Launching her new album Brave The Good Dark which beautifully blends alternative country, indie folk, blues and rock, Traicos is set to perform an intimate two set solo show this weekend. This album is a welcome return to the scene after two years with a style that has been compared in the past to Sarah Blasko, Beth Orton and Gillian Welch.

With music being performed across three stages by some of the city best bands and DJs this will be a great way to spend a sunny Sunday.
