The Wolvi Stomp is a favourite stop for touring artists, as performers note their experience playing at the Wolvi Hall and the Gympie region.

The music festival saw 19 artists and bands play across the weekend, ranging from rock to funk to blues and more, with some artists returning to perform once again and some new faces to the venue.

The musical duo, Salt and Steel, returned to the stomp after playing at the Hall some years ago and were happy to be back.

“You can really vibe off everyone and it feels very community” said their guitarist and vocalist Brioni.

“(It has a) Nice vibe and nice atmosphere”

The duo noted their love for the outdoors and remarked the Gympie region as a beautiful area they enjoyed regularly passing through.

They were doing shows around Queensland, the East coast and Tasmania all whilst living in their van, but noted their joy for performing in regional communities.

“I prefer to play in the country, kind of more remote areas than cities and stuff” said their Drummer Elle.

The Sunshine Coast based slick blues TJ Carter was another returning artist under the creative direction of Tobi, who played solo at the Stomp in previous years were thrilled to be welcomed back.

“We’d like to thank the locals for being supportive.” said guitarist and vocalist Tobi.

“We love seeing familiar faces”

The band noted how the felt a part of the organising family at the Hall.

“Welcoming of course, forgivingly welcoming and supportive” said their bassist Boi.
