Locals play at festival
Carl and Leila Desborough of Umina will perform with the band Slightly Off at the Little Blues Festival in Toukley on Sunday, December 4.
This is the band's second performance at the Little Blues Festival, which recently celebrated three years of blues concerts free to the public.
Event organizer Ms Julia Starr said the band "made such an impression" and she is "glad to have them back".
"Audiences are usually held spellbound by the ambient performance which twists around some bazaar lyrics and connecting blues moments.
"The crowd will enjoy their performance in this unique setting," she said.
Slightly Off will present original blues songs and manic ballads which keep the audience wondering what will happen next.
Performing will be Carl Desborough on guitar and vocals; Leila Desborough accompanying on a range of instruments including tenor banjo, clarinet and musical saw; Cec Bucello on mandolin and vocals; and Glenn Ewing on bass.
