Shot Notes
It is often the bands you have never seen before on the smaller stages at festivals which impress the most. These are The California Honeydrops playing the Juke Joint of the 2017 Bluesfest. They have their own unique mix of Blues and Soul which will find you tapping your feet before you know it. (image download here) The California Honeydrops will return one last time for the final Byron Bay Bluesfest in Easter 2025, tickets are available via the Bluesfest Website.
UPDATE: In 2026 Bluesfest will be the last in a line of major festivals closed from increasing headwinds. This began before covid, with the previous state government’s legislative “war on festivals“. The new government risks letting this trend continue through inaction. However, you can change this. If 20,000 signatures are received, the NSW Parliament must debate Bluesfest’s future. #savebluesfest if you live in the state Sign up here. For everyone else, there is an international petition on change.org Sign up here.
Love it!
Can’t wait to see you guys again!
