MusicNSW Regional Manager Dave Burgener said:
“Congratulations to the selected artists. We were really impressed with the number and calibre of applicants. It speaks volumes about regional talent and the appetite to tour regional NSW.”
We look forward to working with these artists to deliver some great shows across the state and shine a light on the NSW music scene.”
Original artists based in regional NSW were invited to apply for the regional touring opportunity, which is in its first year and led by the newly formed team of MusicNSW Regional Coordinators. MusicNSW is working across the state to increase contemporary music touring, expand artists and industry networks, and build on existing industry knowledge in regional NSW.
MusicNSW is supported by Create NSW.
