The Annual Coolum Blues Rent Party is on again Saturday the 7th of June at the Coolum Civic Centre with bands guaranteed to be “Rocking the Blues” on the night. The event is the second in a series of fundraisers intended for the staging of 2008 Sunshine Coast Blues Festival scheduled for September 12, 13 and 14 at the Nambour Showgrounds. We are proud to announce a stellar line up of Artists that will feature some festival favorites, local legends as well as the introduction of some awesome new and emerging artists.
MOJO WEBB - 2006 AUSTRALIAN BLUES MUSIC AWARD - Best New Talent Of The Year. Mojo Webb is making waves in the Australian blues and roots scene, he is a versatile world-class electric and acoustic guitarist with a truly amazing voice. His charisma, naturally engaging stage presence and incendiary performances are making him a firm festival favorite and of course a local legend in his native Brisbane. Make no mistake, Mojo is the real deal and it won’t be long before the whole world knows. Mojo will be a special guest and perform a 30 minute set with Light Street Motors.
LIGHT STREET MOTORS – This dynamic Brisbane Quartet is a vehicle for the talents of guitarist/singer/songwriter Paul Renton. “Rento’s” earthy original songs are mixed with a tasty selection of the classic Blues and Swing, propelled along by Mark Doherty on harmonica, Tom Matthews on Bass and George Ambrosio on drums. Check out the “Light Street Motors” EP – its all original, all killer, no filler!
BARRY CHARLES – Recognized internationally as well as here at home on the Sunshine Coast is a unique singer from a blues and rock background and is renowned for his exceptional vocal range and technique.

MEN IN BLUES - Thrust the traditional blues sound into the 21st Century with style and panache, reinventing the genre by combining modern blues with a groove-based dynamic.
