Park Sounds – Eumundi
Pack your picnic rug for this fabulous afternoon of free live music and a line-up of four awesome bands – Staple, Joe Man Murphy, Those Folk and Sunshine Blues Band. Staple began when five teenage musos won the St Andrew’s Battle of the Bands competition with their blend of sweet harmonies and infectious energy. Joe Man Murphy is an Irish-born folk/roots artist who captures hearts with his warmth, honesty and stories from a life well lived. The Sunshine Blues Band sprang out of a desire to play some blues that are a little bit different. They offer stripped-down, upbeat, rhythm-inspired music. And Those Folk are a truly authentic, naturally charismatic, and delightfully entertaining band made up of Lawrence Menard and Clare Quinn.
