Groovin The Moo Looking For Local Talent

Groovin The Moo Festival is bringing homegrown talent as Aussie as stubbies and thongs to regional centres in April. With Boy & Bear, Client Liaison, Vallis Alps, and triple j’s Hottest 100 winners The Rubens on the bill as well as regional acts to be announced for each show, it’s looking like a legen-dairy lineup.

Co-promoter Stephen Halpin says this year Groovin the Moo is focussing on engaging with Australia-wide community programs in music, art, and design. “These [programs] provide opportunities to locals in regional areas,…strengthen the bond between GTM and each of our communities, and offer talented locals valued experience by showcasing their skills and talents to a wider audience,” Halpin said.

The festival organisers are on the lookout for professional and amateur local photographers, artists, graphic designers, song writers, and producers to produce content for GTM 2016. Internship opportunities are also available to students and disadvantaged youth. Check out the Groovin The Moo Facebook page or the website’s Competitions page to find out more about getting involved in the festival.

If you’re after more local love, triple j Unearthed has got you covered, providing one undiscovered act from each state with a performance slot in the festival. Thousands of local legends have been discovered through Unearthed since the competition launched in 1995. Past winners include The Aardvarks, Killing Heidi, and Melbourne’s golden girl Missy Higgins.

Unearthed 2015 saw rough and raw rockers Said The People, indie 4-piece Fountaineer, and Canberra hip-hop duo Coda Conduct take out the coveted performance spots.
