The two-day Deni Blues & Roots Festival is unique for southern NSW and utilises the massive Deni Ute Muster site, which has had millions of dollars of permanent staging and lighting infrastructure installed in recent years. Both events have been underpinned by overwhelming community support, with an army of volunteers, contributions from many local businesses and great vision from the steering committee that established and built the site.
Minister for Tourism and Major Events, George Souris said: "The NSW Government is pleased to support the Deni Blues & Roots Festival, which last year attracted many visitors to the region, and contributed more than $1 million to the local economy.
"Testament to the calibre of the event, the inaugural Deni Blues & Roots Festival was winner of the Festival & Events Category at the 2013 Inland Tourism Awards."
Harold Clapham, Chairman of Deni Play on the Plains Festivals said “After the success of the Inaugural Deni Blues and Roots Festival and the recent 15th Anniversary Deni Ute Muster, where American superstar Alan Jackson left a record-breaking crowd spellbound, we can’t wait to have you 'yawl' back in Deni at Easter.”
Co-promoter Rob Potts, CEO, Rob Potts Entertainment said “It’s quite amazing to see the line-up if massive international artists that have performed at Deniliquin (Deni) in the last two years, which also includes Kelly Clarkson, Alan Jackson, Joe Nichols and Corb Lund as well as the list of artist who played the inaugural Deni Blues and Roots Festival.
“It’s a testimony to the great concert and camping facilities and easy to get to location that the community has built to welcome concert and festival goers. Deni Blues & Roots 2014 is set to add another great list of local and international performers to this impressive list at Easter 2014, a time when Deni also has its best weather every year.”
