Bridges for Byron

THE 29th annual Byron Bay Bluesfest line-up has been rounded out with the last-minute addition of gifted artists led by celebrated Texan soul singer Leon Bridges.

Bluesfest director Peter Noble said Bridges represents the future of soul and gospel music. “He will be doing two shows at Bluesfest 2018 – his career is heading for the stratosphere,” he said.

One of Ed Sheeran’s favourite artists, Belfast’s Ryan McMullan, has also been added to the bill.
