Fiona Boyes

Fiona Boyes is an internationally recognised blues guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter. Featuring finger-picking guitar, and cigar-box instruments, her performances range across Delta Blues slide, gritty Mississippi riffs, to intricate country blues and heartfelt ballads. As a USA reviewer said, ‘There are many blues musicians who keep the old songs alive, but far fewer who write new songs of revealing imagination to freshen up the genre’. Fiona is the only Australian musician to be honoured by the USA Blues Music Awards (American Blues Foundation, Memphis), with 8 nominations including 2019 ‘Traditional Female Blues Artist of the Year’. Her latest album ‘Ramblified’ debuted #1 Australian Blues & Roots Airplay Chart and is her 13th album release. It was described by Living Blues Magazine (USA) as “…refreshingly new and finely crafted original songs…raucous, yet elegant…”

A festival where everyone belongs.

Accessibility & inclusion

Blues at Bridgetown is committed to creating a welcoming, safe, and inclusive festival experience for all attendees, artists, volunteers, staff, and community members.

We celebrate diversity and strive to ensure that everyone can participate in and enjoy the festival regardless of age, ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, cultural background, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status, or personal circumstances.

We are dedicated to improving accessibility across our festival sites and events. We work to identify and reduce barriers to participation wherever possible and welcome feedback from patrons and community members to help us continually improve our accessibility and inclusion practices.

We expect all festival participants to treat one another with respect, dignity, and consideration. Discrimination, harassment, bullying, or any form of exclusionary behaviour will not be tolerated.

Blues at Bridgetown recognises the importance of creating spaces where people feel valued, represented, and able to engage fully in the festival experience. We encourage anyone with specific access requirements to contact us in advance so that we can work together to support their participation wherever reasonably possible.

As a community-focused event, we acknowledge that inclusion is an ongoing journey. We are committed to listening, learning, and collaborating with our audience, artists, volunteers, partners, and local community to ensure Blues at Bridgetown remains a festival where everyone belongs.
