Sadly all good things must come to an end and the Rock the Yacht team is planning on finishing up 2014 with an absolute bang for their final showcase event of the year, Saturday November 1 from 3pm till late.
According to the organisers, Rock the Yacht is a Port Douglas institution and an absolute ‘gotta be there’ fun filled day for music lovers across both the Douglas and the greater Cairns region.
On the bill for this final showcase gig, the team are proud to be showcasing local faves Benny & the Clones, Clarketown, The Kroovs & The Antipodylans, with very special guests, The Wizards Sleeve, UK’s Stompin on Spiders and homegrown legend, Leanne Tennant.
Leanne has recently launched her stunning new album ‘Pull up your Britches’ & has released her first music video for Bearing The Crown, a single from the album which is currently receiving loads of love and airplay on Triple J & radio networks around Australia. Her album was funded by a crowd funding campaign which saw her raise well over her target, and features a stellar line up of musicians including Bill Chambers (The Hillbillykillers), Jordan Ireland (The Middle East) and Jack Venables (Osaka Punch).
Leanne has just completed her 3rd tour run by Qmusic, has won awards for her songwriting and has shared the bill and worked with artists such as Jimi Hocking, Dallas Frasca, Hatz & Cara, Sticky Fingers, Ian Moss, The Hoodoo Gurus, Colin Hay and more. Leanne more recently supported the remarkable Kasey Chambers.
Always well supported by our wonderful community, we look forward to seeing all the usual friendly faces there, and hopefully plenty of new ones as well. Spread the word & please, let all our visitors know it’s on. Rock the Yacht is one event that truly encapsulates the fun & music loving community spirit of our amazing region. What’s not to love!
