Mountaingrass 2025 Approaches
Mountaingrass 2025
14 to 16 November
Bright, Victoria
MountainGrass is an intimate, friendly and engaging bluegrass and old-time music event held over three days every November.
It is organised by the enthusiastic ABOTMA committee (Australasian Bluegrass and Old-time Music Association). In 2025, Mountaingrass will be held from 14 to 16 November and return to the picturesque alpine village of Bright in north-east Victoria (it very successfully debuted there last year after stints in Beechworth and Harrietville).
Mountaingrass showcases some of the best bluegrass and old-time musicians from Australia and beyond. It features concerts, jam sessions, workshops and plenty of opportunities to meet and play with fellow music lovers. Headline acts this year include Mike Compton & Laura Boosinger (USA), The Tone Rangers (Canada), Moranz & Fremlin (Canada) and Honeywell & Foreman (USA/UK).
Local favourites Bluegrass Parkway, The Borough, Craig Woodward, Montgomery Church, Fiddle We Must, Charley Castle & the Boys in the Well, Rhiz, Pete & The Taggin’ Along Band, The Louis Family, The Dempsey Brothers, Newbury Fog, John Boothroyd, Watkins & Montgomery, Dave Diprose and Darryl Thompson, My-T-Fine Trio, The Old Crossroads and Oh Gibson are on the bill. Plus, winners of the Young Performer Grant and the ABOTMA Songwriting Competition will also take the stage.
Held in the heart of Bright – a scenic holiday town in Victoria’s Alpine region – the event spans three central venues: Bright Community Hall, Senior Citizens Centre and the Courthouse Theatre, all within a stone’s throw of each other, all nestled in the town, making it easy to get to as many sets as possible.
