4 WEEKS TO GO! This week the Artist Spotlight moves to the bands! The first band on for the Lewi Blues & Roots will be The Blue Water Bandits. This band is just straight up a pocket full of fun! A fusion of blues & funk they definitely will get the toes tapping. A great way to start what will be a stellar line up of bands for the late afternoon/evening. Bring it on!

A big shout out to the legendary Matt Bayes for spending the first half of the week working on this incredible sign! Matt is also the designer behind our Lewi Blues & Roots logo and poster. A big part of the Southern Beaches community and the local blues scene Matt has gone above and beyond to get this event happening!

If you’re heading down to Dodges it sits at the scenic drive turn off into Dodges off Forcett road. You can’t miss it!

See you on Sat 24th October at the Lewi!

The Lewisham Tavern has been hosting live music for more than 25 years! We’re sure you all have great memories of seeing live music at the Lewi. It must have pretty awesome vibes because Jeff Lang chose it to record a live performance in 2005!

The Lewi Blues & Roots is at the heart of what the Lewisham Tavern is about, bringing community together to enjoy music and have a bevvy & some food at the same time. Family friendly, and 8 ball friendly, what’s not to like?

Incredible photos, taken by Andrew Fuller of Lewi Blues & Roots 2025. We can’t believe from this little project run by local musicians we would get some of the biggest names on board a year later! Including Pete Cornelius, Luke Young from The Bad Dad Orchestra, and Sheyana Wijesingha from The Sheyana Band. Bring it on!
