Whether you're a traditional country music lover, a dabbler or a novice line dancer, there is something for every one at this year's event, with an impressive line up of artists ready to take the mic.

The annual family favourite festival is a collective effort from the Bluewater events team and Tomaree Business Chamber and its highly valued volunteers, with major sponsor Toyota Port Stephens supporting the event.

This year's line-up has already confirmed Adam Brand playing at the Soldiers Point Bowling Club and Adam Harvey, playing at Wests Diggers, with more acts to follow.

And of course, the crowd favourite line dancing will be at Salamander Bay Square as well as other venues across the weekend.

Ken Foote, Country connoisseur and owner of local recording studio Footloose Recording Studios is also, once again, dedicating much of his time and expertise to bring a raft of artists from Beresfield to Buladelah and plenty in between.

Ken and twelve talented singers,vocalists, songwriters and guitarists are giving their time and tunes to help put the joy of country music into everyone's weekend with some fantastic sessions lined up.

Not just about great music, the festival is also about promoting tourism, boosting local business and driving the local economy in the quieter season.
