Dorrigo Folk and Bluegrass Festival has enjoyed the support of a great number of people over the years and currently have a keen and energetic committee driving festival preparations and planning.

“Dorrigo”, as the festival has become known as, has presented and attracted musicians from all around Australia. While the word “Folk” features in the festival name, there is little doubt that the festival has provided huge opportunities for audiences to see their favourite Bluegrass and Old-time bands on stage showcasing their music. So too have the many jam sessions that take place over the weekend.

More recently, the festival has played a major role in bringing some fine younger players from the U.S.A. and helping to tour them around to other venues and festivals. This is an initiative that the organisers plan to continue while working together with other festival organisers to share and provide additional performance opportunities for these performers.

The 15th Dorrigo Folk and Bluegrass Festival has an outstanding line up performances by Australian Bluegrass and Old-Timey bands and s well as an exciting contingent from the U.S.
