Summer may be officially over but that doesn’t mean the end to music festival announcements. No siree. We have a whole winter of festivals to look forward to and the wintery-est of all is the Snowy Mountains of Music who have just this morning announced their first round of artists. And what a lineup – as always it’s leaning heavily to the folky end of the spectrum and we couldn’t be happier.

Announced this morning were Karma County’s front man Brendan Gallagher, Nicky Bomba with Bustamento, The Quarry Mountain Dead Rats (above), The Mouldy Lovers, Frencham Smith, Cj Shaw and the Blow Ins, AJ Leonard’s Tropical Lounge, Mal Webb, A French Butler Called Smith, Wongawilli, Riogh and The Hussy Hicks.

The Snowy Mountains of Music takes place over the June long weekend (8th to the 11th June) in Perisher, NSW. Super early bird tickets are available until the 29th March. Check out the official web site for more details.
