This coming Tuesday 6th April, Australia’s most unique music festival - the Perisher Snowy Mountains of Music launches its 2010 festival live in the Snowy Mountains’ closest capital city – Canberra.

 

At 11am on Tuesday 6th April the Perisher Snowy Mountains of Music festival will present a very special launch at the site of Canberra’s new living arts, design and food precinct -NewActon. The launch is a chance to celebrate the second year of this fantastic 3-day music festival and get an exclusive ticket to what’s in store for an even greater festival in 2010. The headlining acts will be announced as well as this year’s very special program set to spin the Snowies into overdrive on the opening weekend of the 2010 Australian Snow Season. 

 

The media launch will take place in the chilled style of the NewActon Courtyard with delicious food by Flint Dining. Extend your Easter weekend and enjoy some great music over a good coffee, dream of snowflakes and enjoy a polaroid snapshot of what the festival has to offer. There’ll be the husky hues of Jan Preston ‘Australia’s Queen of Boogie Piano’ performing live at NewActon, with her signature 1920s honky tonk sound. There’s nothing like some subversive banjo which is what you’ll get withThe Lurkers, who will charm one and all with their homespun bluegrass fused with real-world politics. And finally don’t miss out on hearing our pin-up troubadour Vorn Doolette – sure to swoon and croon you with a voice like chocolate velvet who’s been compared to the likes of world-famous smooth crooner Rufus Wainwright. 

 

From Friday 11 June to Monday 14 June, the Perisher Snowy Mountains of Music festival is an enchanting music feast high, high up in the mountains. With a total of 9 venues the 2010 line-up will see Perisher and Smiggins pumping with the rhythms and sounds of new and old - from high energy world to gypsy punk, sultry blues, bent bluegrass and brassy funk.
