Live music events are coming to the Pyrenees and Baringhup to support communities im-pacted by last year’s floods.
Organised through Music Victoria’s Live Music for Flood Recovery program with support from Creative Victoria, a host of live music events will take place across the state in the coming months.
Towns and communities in regional and rural Victoria will host 30 live music events at local venues for communities to revive and gather in the 12 months of clean up and rebuilding since floods impacted the region.
In the Loddon Valley, Whole Loddon Love will see the likes of Dan Kelly, Felicity Cripps Band, Queenie and Jess Parker perform over two weekends in October in local halls and hotels in Boort, Pyramid Hill, Newbridge, Bridgewater, and Baringhup.
Similarly, the Pyrenees Hideout: Connection will feature Bill Chambers, Marcus Cassells and The BAHA Collective, plus more, at Lexton’s community hub and hall.
Music Victoria CEO Simone Schinkel said the events will help communities recover from the October 2022 floods.
“We’re so excited to see an incredible array of community led events taking place all over the state,” she said.
“These events will provide a place for people to gather, reconnect and enjoy live music, which is such an important part of the recovery process for these communities.”
