Shot Notes
This is Melody Angel rocking the Juke Joint at the 2017 Byron Bay Bluesfest. I have never seen anyone channel Jimi Hendrix and Lenny Kravitz with so much style. This was no tribute act, this force of nature from Chicago had plenty of authentic blues and soul in her music. (image download here)
Melody Angel will return to the festival in 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. #savebluesfest, international petition on change.org Sign up here.
