Long Listen: Blues on the Range Festival Closing Concert
6 October 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm AEDT

Celebrate the final afternoon of the Long Listen Festival with a foot-stomping Americana and Blues showcase in the relaxed setting of the Mapleton Public House. This closing concert features three sets of powerhouse Sunshine Coast talent, blending Appalachian traditions, roots rhythms, and indie-folk storytelling.
The line-up includes State of Appalachia, bringing old-time mountain music and bluegrass to life; internationally acclaimed duo Hat Fitz & Cara, fusing gospel, blues, and raw folk energy; and rising local voice Phoebe McLennan, mentored by Cara Robinson and quickly making her mark on the folk scene.
Expect an afternoon of soaring vocals, driving rhythms, and blues-soaked harmonies, the perfect send-off for a festival weekend. With food, drinks, and great company in the Hinterland, this concert is a celebration of community and music at its most heartfelt.
