From pop to punk and blues to rock, you’ll probably find a bit of everything in this year’s fantastic music offering being presented during Gigs by Festival of Sails.<\/p>\n
The fabulous free entertainment offering has been created to replace the traditional entertainment program which usually happens on the Geelong waterfront during the iconic Festival of Sails regatta, which is Australia’s oldest annual sporting event, and this year proudly celebrates its 179th anniversary.<\/p>\n
With COVID-19 continuing to impact the running of many of Geelong’s major events, the Gigs by FoS program has been developed with the support of Geelong Connected Communities to directly assist local artists and hospitality staff who have been some of the hardest hit by COVID restrictions.<\/p>\n
More than 50 artists will be performing across eight local Geelong venues within a short walk from the Royal Geelong Yacht Club, over eight days from January 22 to January 29.<\/p>\n
These performances which are free to both the Geelong community and Festival of Sails participants will showcase the best local talent and Geelong’s best venues and bring locals and visitors back to central Geelong.<\/p>\n
So, who will you find where?<\/p>\n
Head for Edge Geelong, Sailors’ Rest, The Pier, Piano Bar, Lambys Tavern, Beav’s Bar or the Barwon Club Hotel and you’re in for a feast of live entertainment!<\/p>\n
Be transfixed by the cool and soulful talents of The Voice 2020 contestant Luke Biscan or let Andy Pobjoy delight you with his unique fusion of smooth vocals and rich piano playing.<\/p>\n
Singer and songwriter Marcus Hayden delivers folk with a dash of electric blues and for Steven Clark it’s everything from rap, rock, pop through to the classics.<\/p>\n
The duo from Good Faces for Radio \u2013 Matt and Marcus \u2013 have been described as the ultimate party band, and there are dozens of other fabulous performers!<\/p>\n
