Transforming Sydney’s Inner West into a country music haven this June long weekend, The Music & Booze Co. has today unveiled the expanded lineup for its inaugural Country and Inner Western music festival; announcing the likes of legendary Bill Chambers, Melanie Dyer, E.J Worland, and more who are set to perform across 20 free events at 13 different venues in a celebration, unlike anything the city has experienced before.
A weekend-long choose-your-own-adventure will see the Enmore Road Hoedown – booked and presented by Alvarez, Steelin’ Hearts & Mr. Lewis – span venues including Midnight Special, The Duke, Cotton Mouth Records, Secret Garden and Jacoby’s. They’ll house the sounds of Golden Guitar winner Bill Chambers, 80s-infused cowboy post-punk outfit Cong Josie and the Crimes, country-pop breakout Melanie Dyer and Melbourne Honky Tonkers James Ellis and the Jealous Guys.

Rousing country-rock and new Inner West favourites will take centre stage at the King Street Boot Scoot, showcasing the brightest of alt-country’s next-gen artists. Kelly’s On King will be graced by post-punkers Warwick Kennedy & the Strangers alongside jangle-pop four-piece Lipgloss and folk/roots artist Bonnie Grace Vargas, while Waywards takes on a quadruple-header featuring Americana troubadour Andy Golledge Band, the sun-kissed guitar sounds of The Brights and the intoxicating blues of Magic Nic alongside folk-rock singer/songwriter Aislinn Young.
Giddy up for Route Beer by Love Police on June 12, a takeover of Route 66 with Super Cosmic DJs plus Special Guests, while June 13 will see an all-in Picker’s Night at The Enmore Hotel, as well as a Honky Tonk Takeover at The Union.
The lineup joins the previously announced Kasey Chambers, Tex Perkins plays Johnny Cash, Emma Donovan and the Putbacks and many more of Australia’s best emerging and established artists in alt-country, bluegrass, folk and blues, who will perform at Sydney Park Amphitheatre on June 12-13. Keeping it local, food vendors at Sydney Park for the weekend include renowned The Lord Gladstone Burgers, smoky Southern-inspired Oxford Tavern, and purveyors of spicy Jamaican Sparkys Jerk Barbecue.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
