WA’s country music capital packed with talent at Boyup Brook Country Music Festival

WA’s country music capital was the place to be last weekend with bootscootin’, crazy cars and country music taking over Boyup Brook.

The Boyup Brook Country Music Festival rolled into town on Thursday, with dance workshops and songwriting courses keeping the early arrivals entertained.

The festival fully got into gear Saturday morning with the country music awards kicking off the celebrations.

The festival began early afternoon with a slew of talented performers playing county beats until midnight.

Those who entered the festival early found local producers selling everything from tiny guitars and opossum pelts, as the truck and ute muster roared through the town.

The first opening act was Allan Caswell, with following performances from JoKeria, Dianne Lidsay and Peter Simpson, Brandon Poletti and the Eagleton Brothers, Helen Townsend and the Wayward Hearts, Troy Cassar-Daley, Bunbry’s own Codee-Lee and a final performance from people’s choice award winner Jonny Reid.

Boyup Brook Country Music Club president Jason Forsyth said the line-up this year had been fantastic.

“This amazing festival wouldn’t be possible without the tireless efforts of our incredible committee who volunteer many hours in the years to make this happen,” he said.

“It’s really important for the emerging artists to get used to a large crowd.”

Beyond the stage festival goers partied through the night, with competitions testing their skills with a bull whip.

Whist many others enjoyed the food vans, and country beats.
