Thredbo, October 19: Thredbo is excited to announce it has been selected as one of the iconic destinations to host Great Southern Nights, a new initiative to kick start the live music industry across New South Wales this summer.

The NSW Government initiative, in collaboration with the Australian Recording Industry Association, will see 1000 performances held in iconic venues across the state during November.

Thredbo will host nine Great Southern Nights sessions at the Thredbo Alpine Hotel with the first one kicking off on Saturday 7 November. Getting the festivities started will be Spindrift Saga, an alt funk rock band from South Coast NSW that has supported the likes of The Living End and British India.

”After a challenging year for the entertainment industry we are delighted to be participating in this great initiative and supporting local artists as live music comes alive again,” said Thredbo Marketing Manager Caroline Brauer.

The schedule will also feature Thredbo favourite H-Cee Family and much-loved resident entertainer Mark Travers, who’s been entertaining crowds in the village since ’91 and never fails to disappoint with his energetic acoustic sessions and popular covers.

To coincide with the opening of the mountain bike and hiking season in Thredbo on 21 November, Thredbo has a jam-packed weekend of entertainment in the schedule. After a day of trekking Thredbo’s highest peaks or shredding the iconic mountain bike trails, you’ll be able to kick back with the Moon Hounds and The Whiskey Bandits, with influences of American blues and roots in an ode to the birthplace of mountain biking.
