James Johnston supported by The Southern Hold + Hudson Rose
Join us at Club Taree to support local James Johnston as he returns to the area on March 25th.
James’ performance will be supported by Hudson Rose and Southern Hold, so get ready for some wonderful live entertainment.
This year James has performed on the Today show and played on the main stage of major festivals like Savannah in the Round and Bush to Bay, both in northern Queensland, where James shared the stage with country greats Lee Kernaghan, Beccy Cole and Busby Marou. His new singles “Raised Like That” and “Smalltown” have hit more than 10 million streams, with Smalltown currently sitting as number 1 country song in Australia for the second week in a row.
Doors open 5:30pm with welcome to Country by Uncle Russ and the Chatham High dancers to open the show.
Numbers will be restricted to 450 people, so don’t be late.
This event is in the line with NSW Health restrictions for outdoor events.
The event is funded by the bushfire recovery grants and supported by Rotary Club of Taree.
Free entry.
Note: Due to predicted wet weather this event has been moved from the Manning RiverStage to Club Taree.
bEATS Festival | A new celebration of community and culture through food, music and art
The Barrington Coast bEATS Festival is a new celebration of community and culture through food, music and art. It provides an inspiring festival program throughout March that’s sure to appeal to residents and visitors alike.
The festival is presented by MidCoast Council and Manning Regional Art Gallery, working with tourism operators and venues across the Barrington Coast region of the lower mid north coast.
The bEATS Festival is anchored by popular major events including the Lakeside Festival (19 Mar), Barrington Coast Long Table Dinner (26 Mar), Great Lakes Food Trail (26-27 Mar) and Tastefest On The Manning (2 April).
Along with many smaller events, food trails and fringe music events, a new arts trail is also being established by The Tanks Art Trail. This project will deliver art installations on water reservoir tanks, similar to the impressive grain silo art seen across the country.
The Tanks Art Trail will connect with the bEATS Festival as a self-drive tour of public sculpture, murals and artist studios around the region, from the mountains to the sea.
The Barrington Coast bEATs Festival and The Tanks Art Trail are funded by the NSW Government through the Regional Tourism Bushfire Recovery grants program. The grants assist with the recovery of regional tourism by promoting and building awareness of our Barrington Coast tourism destination.
