ABOUT
If there’s one thing the last year or so has taught us is that we should never take a weekend away in the country for granted. Throw in some excellent music, a few drinks, good friends and that weekend away is looking better and better every day. You can do all that and more on October 15-17 in the township of Marysville in Victoria’s stunning Yarra Valley.
The Marysville Music Weekend is delighted to announce its full line up for the 2021 event, which features a killer program from across the musical spectrum. The program includes roots duo Pierce Brothers, Australia’s leading jazz man James Morrison with his Motown Experience, and Alt-country trailblazer Freya Josephine Hollick along with many more.
To aid in maintaining social distancing, this year’s event will be presented as four concert sessions in the Marysville Community Centre Stadium.
- Friday Night
