The Steele Syndicate

The Steele Syndicate is a Brisbane-based, funk-rock septet that is raucous and punchy, with a genre-bending sound that is guaranteed to get you up and moving. The band packs a roaring, three-piece horn section and a rhythm section to match, creating music from soulful, contemplative ballads to dance-inducing funk frenzies. Having just recorded their 2nd album, the band is much looking forward to a year full of new song releases.

This band is rock meets horns fusion, in a live extravaganza that will blow your proverbial socks off, and once the socks are off, your feet start burning because the dance floor is on fire. No backing track bull, just wall to wall real music, world class musicianship and an onslaught of anthemic funk rock goodness.

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.
