Beth's Festival in Seymour, Apr 2024

The Band was absolutely sensational! They had the crowd rocking from the get go, their brilliant covers of R&B tunes made our Taste of the Goulburn Festival a very entertaining event for the circa 3,000 people who attended. Would gladly book them for any event requiring high energy and fun!
