The caravans and campervans have been rolling in all week for Murgon Rotary Club’s 2018 Music Muster, setting the stage for another huge celebration of Australian country music.<\/p>\n

The Muster, which is held in the main auditorium at the South Burnett PCYC, is a charity fundraiser and Murgon Rotary’s major activity of the year.<\/p>\n

This year the beneficiaries will be the Royal Flying Doctor Service, Southern Cross Care Castra and Blue Care South Burnett.<\/p>\n

Walk-up artists have been having fun on stage since Tuesday while the camping area at Murgon Showgrounds has been filling.<\/p>\n

On Thursday night, a Bush and Old Time Dance – with music by the Doghouse Band – will encourage the campers to cut a rug.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Muster will change gears on Friday with the official opening at 1:30pm.<\/p>\n

At 2:00pm, the first of the professional country singers will take to the stage.<\/p>\n

The live music will continue through until 10:00pm except for a short tea-break.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s entertainment will kick off at 7:00am with a Bush Poets Breakfast and live music from 9:00am.<\/p>\n

Rostered on over the weekend are performances by Graham Rodger, Amber Goldsmith,\u00a0Brad Butcher, Heath Milner, Larry Cann, Aunty Lillian Gray … and many, many others.<\/p>\n

The highlight of the Muster will be the performance on Saturday night by multiple Golden Guitar winner Adam Harvey from 8:30pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A charity auction is also planned for Saturday night to raise funds for Robin’s Roses which makes hand-made quilts for several hospitals.<\/p>\n

On Sunday morning, CROW-FM’s Matt Collins will be recording “Coffee Chats” with Adam Harvey (7:00am) and Graham Rodger (8:00am), which will be followed by Gospel music and a charity concert.<\/p>\n
