Palmwoods Has Got The Blues – Live & Free

“October was hot but November is going to be hotter”. Thats the advice from staff and bands alike to the punters who have been lapping up the blues and roots talent at the Palmwoods hotel every month

Kicking of the November blues & roots lineup, The Delta Monarchs make their Palmwoods debut on Sat November 7. A new band on the SE Qld scene, the Monarchs are already creating waves and are looking to Palmwoods as a perfect tuneup for their Woodford debut

And then on Sat November 21, Palmwoods Got The Blues settles in for another heapin’ helping of world class Blues talent, cold beer, great steaks and free courtesy buses

Young guns No Problem make a keenly anticipated return and after some high profile gigs this year, these talented teenagers are the perfect appetizer for the world class talent to follow

Pete Cornelius was one of the highlights of the 2009 East coast Blues & Roots festival at Byron Bay over Easter. So popular in fact that its taken until now for his schedule to free up enough for Pete to get on the plane and get his Gretsch and his talented self up to the Sunshine Coast to bring the Palmwoods stage alive once again. A fixture on national festival stages since his early teens, Pete is now an elder statesman of  Australian blues despite still only being in his mid 20’s. Five acclaimed cd releases and numerous overseas tours all testament to the talent the tassie tyro unleashes with his guitar in hand.

To add to the gumbo, possibly the only Australian blues artist capable of giving Pete Cornelius a run for his money, Mojo Webb also returns with his crack band tuned like a V8 supercar and ready and raring to go. A Palmwoods regular, Mojo like Pete spends more and more time on planes and trains these days, traversing the country playing festivals and high profile gigs to an ever increasing fan base of increasingly feverish fans. The last time was crazy man! And this November is just another in a long line of amazing  lineups presented by the Palmwoods Hotel
