The 9th Annual Ravo Bluesfest at Ravenswood Hotel proved to be an unforgettable celebration of Australian Blues music, set against the picturesque backdrop of the Murray River. With twelve amazing acts spread across two stages, the venue’s natural affinity for blues music shone through, creating an immersive experience for the capacity crowd.
Local talents such as Terminal 3, Hope River Road, The Australian Van Morrison Show, and Jason Ayres with Morgan Joanel kicked off the festivities, setting the bar high with their captivating performances. Each act held their own on stage, leaving the audience thoroughly impressed and eager for more.
Adding another cheeky dash of Western Australian flavour, Vdelli, Proud Mary and legendary slide guitarist Dave Hole showcased their skills, further highlighting the depth and diversity of Australian Blues music.
The line-up continued to impress with interstate champions like Busby Marou, 19-Twenty, Hussy Hicks, Diesel, and Daddy Cool himself, Ross Wilson, delivering stellar performances that kept the crowd engaged and energized throughout the night.
