Music is the voice of the soul
Founded in 2009, the Cairns Blues Festival committee have hosted many live blues music events around Far North Queensland.
From large Blues Music Festivals with all the bells and whistles,
to smaller and more intimate Blues Music gigs;
all events are produced and organised by a small and very dedicated volunteer committee who just love great Blues Music.
We're lucky to work with a number of local and National acts.
Musician Applications are open for the Blues Lounge Series

We strive to provide regular and memorable cairns music events
showcasing the varied and amazing talents of our local and national musicians and developed
for those who love blues as much as we do.
We've produced everything from from full scale cairns music events in the CBD
to a stunning Fitzroy Island Blues Festival and Blues by the Sea in beautiful Cardwell.
We work hard to bring the magic of blues to Far North QLD.
