Shining stars setting Boyup Brook festival alight

The Boyup Brook Country Music Festival has cemented itself as a premier country music event and one of its strengths is its diverse line-up and headlining acts.

The Country Music Club of Boyup Brook is pleased to welcome back The McClymonts to the 33rd festival.

With 20 hit singles, two gold-certified albums, 10 Golden Guitars – including five for group or duo of the year – and two ARIAs for Best Country Album to their credit – The McClymonts are highly anticipated for the Boyup Brook Country Music Festival.

Other accolades include a US Country Music Association Award for Global Artist of the Year and their three most recent releases each soared to the number 1 spot on the Australian Country Album Charts and broke into Top 10 spots on the ARIA All-genre Albums Charts.

Others set to perform at the festival this year include triple Golden Guitar award-winner Travis Collins, Golden Guitar award-winner Warren H Williams and rising star Dani Young.

Crowd favourites such as Graham Rodger, Kate Hindle, Donna Lou and the Jay Katz, Codee Lee, Kathy Carver and Desert Mist and Red Ochre will also be returning.

A number of events will be held from February 14-18, including a light-hearted welcome event at the caravan park and the launch of the art awards at the town hall.

There will be a lot of activity on Thursday, including bootscooting workshops at Flaxill Hall, gospel singing at the Anglican church, early morning entertainment at the tennis club and a diverse line-up of local, national and international artists at the music park.

There is a variety of artists at the Harvey Dickson Country Music Centre on Friday morning and workshops held at the school.

Saturday will be a full-on day with the Street Carnival and 12 hours of entertainment at the music park and the popular ute and truck muster will also return.

Sunday begins bright and early with a huge line-up of local and national bush poets. Come along and share breakfast and poetry.
