Byron Bay Blues Festival 2013 Sampler

Byron Bay, NSW, Australia

An Indian American Thai Australian friend spends about her time on the gorgeous NSW coast near Byron Bay.  And she has reminded me, and requested me, to commemorate this year’s annual Blues Fest with a Washerman’s Dog sampler.   

As usual its an amazing lineup. Hope many of you made it. If not, here is a double slice of some of the biggest names on the list.
