So come on down to the Bluff Oyster Fest and join the musical shenanigans with The Seabeast – where the oysters are fresh, the music is hot, and the Smiles

In The Pocket

"In the Pocket" is a collaborative band forged in the deep south, comprised of drummer Metua Marama, bass player Asher Skerrett, guitarist Darcy Kerr, and vocalist Maia Pereiha-Fletcher. They specialize in playing a wide range of music, from classic old-school hits to modern bangers. First-time listeners will experience lush harmonies, tasty rhythms, and engaging musicality for all to enjoy.

Jackie Bristow

Jackie Bristow took her first musical steps in Gore, in the South Island of New Zealand, honed her craft in the pubs and clubs of Sydney, Australia, and found her voice in the United States, where she has continued to enhance her reputation as a soulful, seductive independent recording artist and dynamic live performer.

Like Joni Mitchell, Shawn Colvin and Bonnie Raitt, Jackie has created a body of work that will endure, finely shaded songs that are at once personal and universal, recording with her long-time musical partner, Australian-born guitarist and producer Mark Punch.

Oyster Opening, Oyster Eating and Blindfolded Competitions provide great entertainment through out the day.
