Mountains of Music – 11th – 14th June 2010.
Melbourne band Coolgrass have been selected to play at this year’s The Perisher Snowy Mountains of Music.
Organisers state that the festival was a huge success last year – with an audience of some 3,000 people and 120 artists over 4 days.
With Winter just around the corner the festival team are now busy creating a festival which is bigger, bolder and better. With a total of 11 venues the 2010 line-up will see the Perisher Valley and surrounds pumping with the rhythms and sounds of new and old – from high energy world to gypsy punk, sultry blues, bent bluegrass and honky-tonk piano - Belinda Shore.

Blaugrass at the Folkus Room 17th Nov 2009 – 8:00pm
Paul Duff from Bluegrass Parkway has alerted us to an upcoming gig featuring the unlikeliest combination of Australia’s talent. The all so traditional and highly reverent Bluegrass Parkway are joining the ever irreverent Coolgrass for a gig at Canberra’s Folkus Room at the Italo-Australian Club, 78 Franklin St. Forrest. ACT., on the 17th Nov 2009 – 8:00pm.
It’s going to be the best in straight bluegrass and the best in bent bluegrass you’re likely to hear, according to Bluegrass Parkway’s Paul Duff.
Contact: Bill on 0407 434 469 – Tickets are $25/$20.
Coolgrass, Victoria’s somewhat bent bluegrass phenomena has recently had their profile debuted on the Cybergrass website.
Cybergrass writes:
In addition to their own songs and parodies, Coolgrass tackle the likes of Mozart, Mancini, Chuck Berry, Queen, Duke Ellington and many more in a tongue-firmly-in-cheek bluegrass style. They’re based in Melbourne (Australia, not Florida) and can be found causing musical mayhem at various folk and bluegrass festivals. They’ve been busy in the studio – their 2004 CD “Toad Rage” has recently been joined by a new recording: “Jaguar Breakdown” in honour of Jim’s “reliable” old car.
