We’re thrilled to bring you the inaugural Bribie Island Acoustic Escape, a weekend of music, learning and community connection. The Sunshine Coast and Bribie Jammers have come together to offer an inspiring mix of workshops, jams, and performances for musicians of all levels.
By day, enjoy hands-on workshops led by experienced presenters, and by night, gather for live performances and our Friday night Open Mic at the Sound Shell on the beautiful Bribie foreshore. Saturday will be a full day of activities and music that will conclude at the Bongaree Bowls Club.
What a way to kick off an amazing weekend! This is the first of what we hope will become an annual celebration of music, creativity, and friendship. So come along, be part of the story, and help shape the musical fabric of our community.
