Smoke Stack Rhino with The Blues Factory at Tumut River Brewing Co

Smoke Stack Rhino are bringing the mojo back. Hailing from the swamps of the Yarra Valley in Victoria, the blues-rock quartet has been wowing audiences with their powerhouse performances and authentic musicianship. With a name that's just one heavy animal away from the blues (think Howlin' Wolf), the band is becoming a festival favourite across Australia, with recent appearances at Grampians Grape Escape, Healesville Festival, Warrandyte Festival and Blues Inn Bruthen. After closing the main stage at the 2024 Blues at Bridgetown Festival in WA, the festival director commented "If there had been a roof, they would have lifted it off." Featuring originals like Clearwater River (honouring the regional music scene), Woolamai (inspired by Phillip Island's surf beaches), and Old Silver Bullet (referencing the Wedge-Tailed Eagle), their setlist celebrates Australiana, leading Beat to brand the group as the country's "most exciting blues and roots rockers". Supported by local legends The Blues Factory, this is a rockin night you won't want to miss!
