Ocean Grove will host the International Americana Music Festival, the first of its kind to ever hit the town.
The gig will feature three international artists from Canada, Ireland and Australia.
The idea first came about through a chance meeting between two of the artists – Ocean Grove’s own Gallie and Liam Gerner.
Both were touring the US at the time and happened to be put on the same bill at the International Folk Conference in Kansas.
After the show over a few soothing beers, a very rough plan was hatched to gig again back home.
They teamed up with Canadian duo Twin Peaks and that’s where the International Americana Festival was born.
Gallie is critically acclaimed songwriter from Ireland, but now lives in Ocean Grove. In fact all three artists have acclaimed albums under their belts and have been touring the world for years.
This show will sell out so get in quick. Go to geelongtickets.com.au/event/americana-music-festival-live-5846 to book.
The gig is at the Piping Hot Chicken Shop and Burger Grill on 10 November. Music starts at 8pm sharp which each act performing for about 50 minutes.
