The concert will feature a sneak peak performance from the first two names to appear on the 2014 festival lineup, all-female, all-family rockers Stonefield and 11-piece Bollywood inspired party-starters The Bombay Royale. They will be joined by two of last year’s grant recipients, the all girl 25-piece nu-soul group, The Sweethearts and Yirrmal & the Yolngu Boys who were one of the most groundbreaking acts of the 2013 festival. The proceeds from this night will directly fund the next grant round.
The grant aims to kickstart the careers of local musicians in the regions of Geelong, Barwon South West and the Bellarine Peninsula. It is open to budding artists and is based on artistic merit and potential for sustainability beyond the funding period.
