Inviting country music lovers from Sydney, NSW and beyond, The Music & Booze Co. today announce Country and Inner Western; a three-day festival featuring Kasey Chambers, Tex Perkins plays Johnny Cash, All Our Exes Live In Texas and more taking over Sydney’s Inner West bars, pubs and parks.
This June Long Weekend and as part of the Sydney Solstice, experience a country music festival like never before, as some of Australia’s best emerging and established artists in alt-country, bluegrass folk and blues light up the famed entertainment precincts of Newtown, Enmore and Erskineville in a series of free and ticketed events. From the founders of King Street Crawl, The Music & Booze Co. ensure whether you choose a seat in the open-air grassy surrounds of Sydney Park Amphitheatre, the familiar sticky floor of The Enmore Hotel or cosy fairylit booths of The Midnight Special, a unique live music experience at Country and Inner Western awaits.

Headlining the Sydney Park Amphitheatre on Saturday is ARIA-Hall of Fame artist, Kasey Chambers, seeing her multi-award-winning catalogue played in a festival-first setting. The pioneering Australian country artist with five #1 albums to her name is joined by fellow icon and all-round legend, Tex Perkins. Perkins will headline Sunday with a set exclusively of material from country music king, Johnny Cash in what is set to be an unmissable performance.
Also appearing from Sydney Park on Saturday is Jindabyne-bred artist, Brad Cox whose relentless touring has coined a devoted following, alongside charismatic Aussie alt-country act, Wagons. Andy Golledge Band and their unpredictably wild live sets are accompanied by alt-bluegrass outfit The Morrisons, as well as the raw and memorable singer-song writing talents of Harmony Byrne to complete Saturday’s lineup.

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.
