Proud Mary

Headline Act: Sunday 1:00 pm - Main Stage

Creedence Clearwater Revival Tribute:
Featuring the internationally renowned ex rythym section fron the 90s platinum recording act the Baby Animals, and with the front line being two of WA's most talented young musicians this band is rapidly gathering momentum as not only the country's best CCR tribute, but one of the nation's best new live bands period.

Unlike some tribute acts, Proud Mary are all about the music and don't spend hours rehearsing stage moves and working on costumes. These guys lovingly and authentically re-create CCR's music in all it's glory so that it can't help but impress the true fan as well as the casual listener!

Ruby Boots

Sunday 10:30am - Main Stage

"Best Country Music Act" -- winner from the 2011 WAMi Awards.
There is no mistaking that Ruby Boots are a "band". They look like a band, play like a band and the chemistry between them is more like glue. With electric and acoustic guitars, banjo, mandolin, violin, washboard, keys, bass, drums and vocal harmonies some bands would look crowded. Ruby Boots just look good and they play excellent music.

While there's something of a resurgence in traditional roots genre, Ruby Boots are making it their own. Chain-gang chants and blues guitar through to western-swing and honky tonk piano, then across to folk-country and back around again, it's all there and it's sounding really fresh.

Sea of Tunes

Saturday 7:30pm - Main Stage

A Beach Boys tribute -- "I'm picking up good vibrations, she's givin' me excitations . ."

Summer's here and the time is right to get back into the sunshine, surf and sounds of the Beach Boys. Ride the wave of hits such as Surfin USA, Good Vibrations, Help Me Rhonda and Fun Fun Fun and dig the soulful melodies and brilliant songwriting of one of the most beloved American rock bands of the 20th century.
