Following on from announcing their terrific first round of acts, the AWME 2014 lineup has expanded with another round of additions to the bill for the seventh edition of the Australasian Worldwide Music Expo.
Taking place in Melbourne from the 13th – 16th November, AWME 2014 will once again be stocked with high-profile speakers across a broad conference program featuring around 500 local and international music and arts industry professionals. Accompanying the panels and expo is an array of local and international talent performing showcases, featuring every kind of music genre – from soul to hip hop, jazz to rock, ska to reggae, you name it.
Leading the second AWME 2014 lineup announcement, playing a series of showcases, is world-class guitarist and songwriter, Frank Yamma; the massive Melbourne Ska Orchestra, fresh from a blistering international tour dazzing audiences at Glastonbury and Montreal Jazz Festival; NZ-via-Melbourne blues belters BONJAH – and making their AWME debut will be soulful storyteller Glenn Skuthorpe and South Africa’s Afro-folk maverick Bongeziwe Mabandla.
