Inspired by an appreciation for the golden era of music that came out of America in the ’60s and ’70s, the team behind the Gum Ball Festival and PigSty In July is bringing another exciting event to Dashville in the Hunter Valley.
A festival of Americana, psychedelia and alternative country music, Dashville Skyline is a family friendly, Americana-inspired festival that will feature new and established Australian artists and a few from the States as well. It’ll celebrate the best in American food, booze, cars, culture and most importantly, music.
Performing artists will be asked to choose one of 20 or so songs from a playlist of the best songs of the era, and they will perform a cover of it during their set. These covers will be recorded and compiled into a CD, which will be gifted to attendees at the conclusion of the weekend.
They inspiration for the name Dashville Skyline was taken from Bob Dylan’s Nashville Skyline,one of the first commercial Americana albums ever released.
The lineup for Dashville Skyline is due to be announced within the next couple of weeks, so keep an eye on thebrag.com.
Dashville Skyline will be taking place at Dashville over the weekend of Saturday October 3 and Sunday October 4. Tickets are available from the website from Friday May 1.
