It gives us great pleasure to announce that Western Australia’s beloved springtime musical adventure, Blues at Bridgetown, is back for 2025 with an unforgettable weekend’s worth of music, melodies and new memories from Friday-Sunday, November 7-9. A true celebration of blues, roots and associated genres, Blues at Bridgetown will bring together a stellar line-up of well-known and emerging artists, led this year by Eugene ‘Hideaway’ Bridges, Little Birdy and Coterie.
Born in New Orleans, Eugene ‘Hideaway’ Bridges is a nomadic musician living his life on the road. His home is wherever the next performance takes him, and every year this is from the US through Europe, to Australia with many other stops in between. A towering man with a huge voice, playing an unparalleled brand of blues, Eugene oozes enough genuine charm to light up a small city. ‘His instrumental prowess, lyrical and musical vision, and passionate and emotional commitment results in a refreshingly adult set full of joy and meaning.’ – Living Blues Magazine
After a long hiatus, Little Birdy are back on the road for an illustrious tour celebrating the 21st anniversary of their iconic debut album, bigbiglove. Since their inception in 2003, Little Birdy has captivated audiences with their live energy and a sound that blends indie rock with a unique vulnerability. Honing their iconic sound in the Perth music scene, the band quickly skyrocketed to national and global stages, establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with. Now in 2025, frontwoman Katy Steele is joined by original band members Simon Leach and Scott O’Donoghue to perform the classic songs that defined their sound.
A band of four brothers, Coterie encompass an authenticity often lost in modern music, their records telling lyrical stories drawn from real-life experience and using melodically rich vocals to bring a raw narrative heat to the songs. Immersed in a world of surf and art, the band has developed a unique blend of soulful rock music with perfect four-part harmonies that have audiences demanding more. Coterie have enjoyed sold-out headline shows across Australia and New Zealand, their live performance harnessing a lifetime of musical connection, evoking feelings that only 15 years of playing together can create.
