​ENTRY IS FREE BUT YOU DO NEED TO BOOK YOUR TICKETS
In 2017 a group of musicians local to Yeppoon decided to act on the need to establish a local blues music club. This was the beginning of the formation of the Keppel Coast Blues & Music Club (KCBC).

Jam Sessions are an opportunity for musicians, vocalists, and music enthusiasts, to get up and play with other musicians. Starting 13 October 2019 the club is very excited to be bringing the wider musical community together. Local musicians, both experienced and those budding musicians still playing in their bedroom at home, or in a garage, can network, and perform, live on stage, with other experienced and novice musicians. The club is forming a stronger blues and music network and will hold Jam Session events in Yeppoon, Byfield, Yeppoon and Emu Park once a month on rotation, literally taking the music to the communities. 

​Want top connect with the Keppel Coast Blues & Music Club? Contact Adrian McLardy on 0414 296 819.
