Locals show out
LOCAL artists had the chance to share the stage with the best of the best in country music over the weekend for the highly successful Savannah in the Round 2022 festival.
Dimbulah’s Aurelle Brunjes, Cooktown’s Yasmin Morris (Yazmindi) and Jeremy Fletcher from Mareeba all performed on one of Savannah’s three stages.
Yasmindi was front and centre on Friday as the first act to perform at the Bull Bar to kick off the weekend long festival.
Fletcher was a hot topic over the weekend after he performed two sets over the festival, one each at the Big Top Music Tent the Bull Bar.
Brunjes opened up the Bull Bar on Saturday morning and got the crowd excited for the day to come while Mareeba local Darryl Chaplain kept the crowd entertained ahead of James Blundell’s set.
She got the chance to perform her newest single “Stumbling” which is due to be officially released in a couple of weeks alongside many of her already released and unreleased songs.
“I felt it went really well, it was a lot of fun I had a bunch of party people and were excited to be there,” she said.
“I think they were a very captivated crowd that seemed to enjoy it, when they are asking for more that is always a good sign.”
Brunjes is hoping she can return for next year’s festival but isn’t putting her guard down with plenty of local talent on the Tablelands yet to grace the stage.
