Or simply witness and be inspired by the raw, captivating sounds of Hat Fitz, the fierce and expressive licks of Kathleen Halloran, the distinctive melodies of Brisbane’s premier rock guitarist, Simon Gardner, the soaring blues and rock riffs of Lecia Louise and the unique finger picking and deeply textured sounds of Tom Combes, just to name a few!
Truly, an unforgettable week filled with incredible talent, as artists from all over come together to celebrate their passion for the guitar. “For us, it was a day to remember,” shares Dominic Ward, a classical guitarist from the Solstice Guitar Duo, who took part in the 2024 festival. “Connecting with legends like jazz icon Jamie Clark and shredder Simon Gardner was a fantastic opportunity for our careers. It inspires us to explore new styles in our own music.”
