A THREE-day Guitar Fest will be held at the Peninsula Beer Garden, Boneo over the 9 to 11 March long weekend.
The brainchild of peninsula-based musician Steve Myles, who has spearheaded a program to revive live music on the peninsula and give seasoned and aspiring musicians a platform, the event will feature local, interstate and international guitarists and support musicians.

The line-up includes Geoff Achison, blues player Anna Sconti and peninsula-based Ocean Pulse, a group that takes inspiration from vintage surf music and the peninsula’s surf vibe. Myles says the band plays surf music “like Jimi Hendrix”.

Frankston-based guitar maker Jim Cargill, whose father Merv taught him guitar making skills, will hold a workshop, while there will be guest appearances and free performances all weekend. All events are free except for a combined performance on Sunday. “We have worked hard to put together a great line-up for all – local favourites like Rob Papp, as well as guest appearances from local and international artists,” Myles said.

Also heading to Peninsula Beer Garden on 17 March are The Songbirds. With extraordinary three-part harmonies, The SongBirds is a supergroup comprising three of the world’s finest vocalists: Mexican-American Erica Canales – a long time touring member of The Killers. US-based recent Grammy Award and Latin Grammy Award winner, Gaby Moreno and Australian-born powerhouse Dannielle De Andrea also “The Voice” behind John Farnham, Ariana Grande and Jackson Browne.”
