The search is on again for the official Snowy Mountains of Music ‘Festival Blogger’ who will interview, film and photograph artists and manage the Facebook and Twitter pages live from the snow at the festival this June long weekend (Friday 7th-Monday 10th June).

The Perisher Snowy Mountains of Music Festival is offering one lucky 18-28yr old living in the South-Eastern NSW regions of The Bega Valley, Cooma-Monaro, Bombala, Eurobadalla, Palerang, The Snowy Mountains and Queanbeyan the chance to blog for Australia’s only music festival in the snow! It’s the ultimate backstage pass – the Official Festival Blogger meets and interviews headline acts whilst developing industry level skills in writing, music journalism, blogging and social networking with a hands-on mentorship with the Festival’s Public Relations Manager Bettina Richter.

Previous bloggers have gone on to study Public Relations, Marketing and Media Degrees, run their own marketing agencies, promote bands and have their work published on national music blogs.

This year thanks to the support of ABC South East, the Festival Blogger will also receive a one day intensive masterclass with ABC Open Producer Vanessa Milton, honing skills in photography, video and sound production and their final work will be published on the ABC Open website.

Second artist announcements snowballing!

Snow, music, and a parka party to rock your socks, yes the 2013 Perisher Snowy Mountains of Music is coming. Drum roll please for the second round of artist announcements which is spearheaded by two of Australia’s most formidable acts on the scene: Blue King Brown and The Bamboos’ soul diva Kylie Auldist and her band The Glenroy All Stars.

Hailed by Santana as “The voice of the street and the band of the future!” ARIA nominated act Blue King Brown is Australia’s premier 8-piece live urban roots crew and they’re returning to the Snowies for a power-packed live show second to none! Lead by the multi-talented, relentless energy of Natalie Pa’apa’a, expect nothing less than powerful vocal & lyrical deliveries with a dancehall, roots, rock & afro groove mix built on an irrepressible percussive foundation.

Get down and boogie with Australian soul sensation and leading lady of The Bamboos - Kylie Auldist, with her band the Glenroy All Stars is coming to the Festival. Kylie Auldist’s acclaimed new solo album ‘Still Life’ has been rocking the charts from Japan to France and the UK with a sound comparable to Diana Ross and Sharon Jones. Don’t miss this sassy, smoking hot songstress with a dirty disco funk 8 piece line-up for one show only at the Snowies.

Keeping the snowball rolling with a full scale assault on the senses is The Gang of Brothers who’ll funk it up and get it going with some deep grooves; and get caught in a smooth drift with dub-ska-reggae collective The Fraudsters.

Curl up near the fire with Melbourne’s Oh Pep! who’ll take you down to ocean level with their dreamy lyrical songs of the sea, and spice up your wanderlust with the divine four piece new Celtic sound of Sunas and Mzaza - led by French singer Pauline Maudy with a spellbinding mix of Balkan, Spanish and Middle Eastern world flavours.  

The Perisher Snowy Mountains of Music is one of Australia’s most unique festivals – with all venues located in the snow, experience the sounds of the world amongst a stunning alpine landscape.
