If there’s one thing the last year or so has taught us is that we should never take a weekend away in the country for granted. Throw in some excellent music, a few drinks and good friends, and that weekend away is looking better and better every day. You can do all that and more on October 15-17 in the township of Marysville in Victoria’s stunning Yarra Valley.
The Marysville Music Weekend is delighted to announce its full line up for the 2021 event, which features a killer program from across the musical spectrum. The program includes roots duo Pierce Brothers, Australia’s leading jazz man James Morrison with his Motown Experience, and Alt-country trailblazer Freya Josephine Hollick along with many more.
Says event director Bill Bate, “We’re excited to launch the Marysville Music Weekend. This weekend is a showcase event in our region, bringing locals and visitors from far and wide. We’re pumped about the new direction of the new brand of the Marysville Music Weekend. Building on the strong success of the Marysville Jazz and Blues Weekend, we offer a world class line-up of amazing music, food and drinks all set in our picturesque home of Marysville. Enjoy the country hospitality and join us for a great weekend.”
