Kicking off the weekend, Jackson James Smith delivers an intimate, emotionally rich blues experience. Known as a “modern old soul,” his sound blends classic blues foundations with contemporary songwriting, drawing comparisons to artists such as Matt Corby and John Mayer. With honest lyrics and warm guitar work, Jackson’s performances feel reflective and deeply personal.

Robbie Bostock

Having toured extensively as a guitarist with Australian country music icon Lee Kernaghan, Robbie has also carved out a strong solo career, blending traditional blues influences with uplifting retro tones and rock energy. Inspired by legends such as Phil Emmanuel, Jeff Beck and Mark Knopfler, his live shows showcase expressive instrumentals, rich grooves and masterful musicianship.

Sam Shepherd

Sam Shepherd brings refined musicianship and dynamic guitar work to Saturday’s session. A former “National Young Jazz/Blues Guitarist of the Year”, Sam’s career spans blues, folk, roots and instrumental guitar. With a reputation for expressive solos and polished performances, his music balances technical excellence with warmth and accessibility.

Ally Palmer

Closing out the festival in the Centre on Sunday is Ally Palmer, a multi‑instrumentalist and singer‑songwriter known for her smooth vocals and laid‑back blues‑infused sound. Drawing inspiration from soul, folk, funk and blues, Ally’s music reflects coastal living and relaxed rhythms, delivering feel‑good performances that resonate with audiences of all ages.
