South Burnett musician Tony Cisneros is starting to get excited. And not just about avocados.
Tony – better known as half of the popular Mr Q duo to his many fans – will be performing in concert at this year’s Bloomin’ Beautiful Blackbutt Avocado Festival along with his brother Gavin.
The pair will be appearing alongside Nanango duo Ausphonic and Blackbutt country music talent Amanda Sempf in a five-hour “Live And Local” concert being held in Les Muller Park on Saturday, September 10.
The concert is one of the big features of the Avocado Festival’s weekend program of events, and has been sponsored by Meandu Mine.
“Guests only need to bring a picnic rug,” Avocado Festival spokesperson Melanie Doheny said.
“Stall holders in the park will be happy to supply food and refreshments while you sit back, relax and take in the music.
“Live And Local is completely free, and we think it’s going to be very popular.”
The music from the park will blanket Blackbutt’s main street for most of Saturday, helping to bring a happy and lively atmosphere to the town.
Amanda Sempf will take the stage from 10:00am to 11:30am, followed by Mr Q until 1:00pm.
After this, the concert will take a 30-minute break so Festival-goers can enjoy the Giant Street Parade.
Then Ausphonic will round out the afternoon until 3:00pm.
