Myrniong will play host to an exciting local live music showcase on Sunday April 10.

Vibes in the Vines will take place at St Anne’s Winery and see an array of well-known and up and coming musicians entertain audiences.

The festival will have three separate stages which will host 13 local artists such as Andrew Borg, Breckin, Five O’Clock Charlie, HeartBeat, Salty Dog and many more.

The day will also include a series of free music workshops, where attendees can learn about the ukulele, cigar box guitar and vocal improvisation as well as take part in a guitar seminar.

Audiences can expect a wide variety of musical genres to enjoy, from blues to folk and funk to Irish.

The event is organised by local artists Sharyn Jury and Fiona Williams, after they formed an online network for musicians on Facebook during the COVID lockdowns.

Ms Williams said the local community had responded with overwhelming support for live music events in Moorabool.

“We’re just so excited and looking forward to it, we hope that there will be something for everybody and it’ll be an annual thing,” she said.

Ms Williams said the highlight of the event would be seeing all local talent in one place.

“The majority of the artists are from Moorabool, they’re all local bands predominantly, there’s a few from Greendale, Ballan, Myrniong, Bacchus Marsh and more,

We’re hoping for lots of people to just come and enjoy the local music and have a good time.”
