Brisbane folk/blues artist Hailey Calvert returns to Bendigo for the first time in 5 years to celebrate the release of her 5th record ‘Common Heartbreak’.

Opening for Hailey and Jason will be Bendigo legend Skip.
Doors open at 3:30pm for a 4pm start. Tickets $20 pre-sale or $25 on the door on the day.
‘Hailey was an artist who seemed - to us - to come out of nowhere, and we couldn't understand why she wasn't just... everywhere. We've tried to make sure she's everywhere we are since - we've had her at two festivals and a private event for Woodford over the last three years. She has a gorgeous wonderfully warm voice, really just stunning – a lovely manner on stage, and she's exactly the type of generous, humble and good-spirited artist that make working in music such a pleasure.’-Woodford Folk Festival
“Hailey’s honest song-writing and emotive, yet flawless, delivery draws the listener in like few others can achieve. She creates a connection between performer and audience I’ve rarely witnessed.”- Colin Thompson, Festival Director Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival
