Jesse Redwing (with Sloan Peterson) - on the Marquee Stage, Agnes Blues Roots & Rock Festival 2026.
A true bluesman, Jesse is always brilliant every time I've seen him. This was the first time that I've seen Sloan, and I would like the opportunity to one day see her in her own right.
8 Ball Aitken was also invited on stage towards the end of the set.
Excellent gig!
