"When guitars and stories from opposite sides of the country collide, something special and very unpredictable happens. We’re talking about Tasmanian bluesman Pete Cornelius and Fremantle legend Lucky Oceans. These two fella’s come from different sides of the tracks, yet Roots music is the unspoken language that ties them together. From a sold-out duo show 6 years ago in Ulverstone Tasmania, Pete & Lucky have played together in various formats, be it at the Tamworth Country Music Festival NSW or Guitar Fever TAS. Come along and witness history” Show 6pm and entry $20+BF
