Riverboats Music Festival

Here it is, folks, the line-up for the 2016 Riverboats Music Festival. The lovely Missy Higgins leads the way at the festival’s fifth outing, along with the equally lovely You Am I.
You also have The Church, C.W. Stoneking, Oh Mercy, Emma Donovan & the Putbacks, Mick Thomas & the Roving Commission, The Wilson Pickers, Jess Ribeiro, Ruby Boots, Jack Carty, All Our Exes Live in Texas and Skyscraper Stan & the Commission Flats. What makes Riverboats so special, however, is its location.
Staged in the twin-towns of Echuca-Moama, the festival’s setting is beneath towering red gums in a natural amphitheatre right next to the Murray River. Regional food and wines will be made available, and there is plenty of room for dancing. Historic paddlesteamers meandering past all weekend adds a wonderful little touch, too. You may also wish to keep in mind Sunday’s official ‘Festival Breakfast’, held in partnership with the Beechworth Bakery. Ruby Boots will be there to treat morning people to some intimate “late night bar songs with a nostalgic country twist” on the bakery’s top floor. Echuca-Moama – February 19-21.
