BUSSELTON HOSPICE CARE INC

Join us for the first inaugrural Busselton Blues Fest at Origins Market Busselton, a vibrant community celebration supporting a meaningful cause.

HEADLINING ACT: CHARLIE YOUNGSON TRIO
12:30PM-2:30PM
Get ready for a powerhouse set from the Charlie Youngson Trio at the Busselton Blues Festival.
WAM award nominated and WAAPA trained songwriter Charlie Youngson is an emerging artist hailing from Bridgetown, WA, whose blend of blues and folk, weaved together with intricate guitar work, has been captivating audiences across Australia. At the age of 20, Charlie’s style is reminiscent of early John Butler, and has led him to open for major touring acts including Steph Strings, Felipe Baldomir, Ash Grunwald, Kim Churchill and Vika and Lynda Bull.
Backed by Owen Loaring (bass) and Toby Keeffe (drums), expect big energy, raw talent, and a set you won’t want to miss.
BATTLE OF THE BANDS
10:00AM-12:30PM
We are kicking off the event with Battle of the Bands, showcasing an incredible lineup of talented local young bands and artists.
Visitors are invited to be part of the action by voting for their favourite performers. Simply drop a gold coin into your chosen band’s voting jar – every vote counts, and all proceeds will go directly to support Busselton Hospice Care Inc, making this not only a fun event but a meaningful one as well.
At the end of the competition, one standout act will be awarded a prize, marking the beginning of what promises to become a much-loved annual tradition. This is the first of many Busselton Blues Fest Battle of the Bands competitions to come, and we can’t wait to see it grow year after year.

Handprint Mural Workshop – “A Compassionate Community”
