Produced by the team behind the award-winning Riverboats Music Festival in Echuca-Moama, Winter Sounds is designed to bring people together through the shared experience of music, with carefully curated lineups, warm hospitality, and the unmistakable charm of regional Victoria in Winter
“Winter Sounds isn’t just about great music – it’s about place, storytelling, and connection,” said Dave Frazer, Director Winter Sounds and Riverboats.
“To experience some of Australia’s finest artists in the intimate surrounds of an old bush school, a country hall or within a grand goldrush era church is a truly unique experience. The Daylesford region is absolutely superb in the colder months, and with the smell of woodsmoke in the air and a hot toddy in hand, there really is no better way to experience live music this winter.”
Winter Sounds invites music lovers to discover an excellent fireside feast of wintery tunes amidst the beauty of regional Victoria.
