Throughout August and September, locals and visitors of iconic sailing town Airlie Beach area are being treated to a series of live Acoustic Sessions at Airlie Beach Hotel, all thanks to Sailor Jerry Presents.
Every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening, Airlie Beach Hotel is transformed into a haven for local and travelling musos – complete with a unique stage set up behind a fully-stocked cocktail bar, perfect for not missing a beat while ordering your favourite Sailor Jerry Cocktail.
Some famous faces are known to stop by the Hotel for guest acoustic performances, including X Factor star Andrew Wishart and Australian Idol contestant Dan England.
A roster of premium acoustic talent has been tapped for this year’s Acoustic Sessions. The main goal? To celebrate local artists and bring the town together through the joy of live music. Expect a mixture of performances, including original tunes, big ballads and foot-tapping classics.
Throughout the month, you’ll find Airlie Beach Hotel’s house musician and local legend Andy Mammers behind the guitar – an experienced performer with a big following and even bigger voice that always gets the crowd up and singing along.
Alongside Mammers, the sessions feature sets from acoustic legends, like Lloyd Saunders, Chris Booroff and Mat Stokes to name a few.
Adding an extra layer of enjoyment to your evening, the Airlie Beach Hotel is also stocked with tantalising Sailor Jerry mixed drinks and pitchers – as well as the must-try Sailor Jerry Apple shots.
