DRIFTERS WHARF will use the grant funding to support five all-ages live music events during summer and attract national and local bands.

 

The program supported established live music venues or established music festivals to create a sustainable operating environment - to protect performance opportunities, and the development and discoverability of original contemporary music by Australian artists.

 

Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid said “The Federal Labor Government supports our live music scene.

 

“The past several years has been challenging for live music events with COVID-19 and increasing operating costs.

 

“I am pleased that Drifters Wharf have been successful in securing support for its all-ages live music events over the coming months.

 

“I look forward to continuing to support the live music scene and venues across the Central Coast.”

 

The Program also holds a strong focus on activities that improve accessibility at established live music venues or established music festivals, providing participation opportunities for audiences, and career pathways for musicians and music workers, with disability.

 

 

 

Isaac Aristobil-Adele, Co-Founder of Drifters Wharf, said “We’re stoked to be putting on five all-ages shows, which is something different for us.

 

“Normally all our events are eighteen plus, this support enables us to bring some big national bands through and let the local bands be a part of it.

 

“We want to also see local bands grow and play with some great acts.”
