Join us to celebrate the reopening of this iconic Southern venue. A band forged in Adelaide Australia, The Honey Badgers feature an incredible line up playing mainly original music that makes people feel good. Rooted in the blues with sprinkles of soul and funk, this band made the top six at the International Blues Challenge in the USA in 2023. The debut album, Shakin’ (peaked at #1 on the ABARAC charts) was recorded over a three year period and showcases the band’s development from SA southern vales favorites to an international level powerhouse that wowed the judges in the home of Stax Records, Sun Studios and the hallowed ground of the Beale Street clubs. Progressing all the way to the Grand Finale at the Orpheum Theatre, this band did what only one other Australian band in the history of the IBC challenge, the legendary “Collard, Greens and Gravy”from Melbourne, had achieved at that time. (In 2025, the band Nardia also made the IBC final.)

Returning to the Heart of the Barossa on a Sunday afternoon, a mini festival of local and national blues artists. Lineup announcement in early May
