Our History

The name of ‘Bluestone’ came from the walls of the Inverleigh Hotel where our first Festival was held in 1996. It was an amazing event that is still talked about today and the music from that Bluestone is still played. It brings back memories of something special. Since then, Bluestone has continued to present top blues music, a fun atmosphere and good memories to the many thousands who have attended over the years.

Bluestone has two aims—to showcase local blues talent and to bring blues players to an appreciative audience in the Geelong region. This year we have some top local talent — Blue Heat (sorry Warrnambool, they’re based here now!) and Wayne Jury 4. From further afield we have Dollar 20 Blues Band, Simon Kinny-Lewis, P J O’Brien Band. We also have the two bands going to the International Blues Challenge: Rhythm X Revival and The McNaMarr Project. Check them, and the others, on pages 6 - 8.

We aim to enjoy the blues and ensure it continues on.
