Nillumbik Shire Council is shining the spotlight on our amazing local musical talent through our new video project, Nillumbik Grooves.
The project has involved filming artists performing short pop-up performances, each at a great Nillumbik location, with the video series now available to enjoy via our website.
Mayor Peter Perkins said Nillumbik Grooves was an innovative way to support local artists during a difficult time for the music and performance industry.
"The videos help these diverse musicians find new audiences while showcasing some of our great and unique Nillumbik locations," he said.
"As the COVID restrictions continue, it's also a great way to share some fantastic music with our community who are really missing being able to see live performances and connect with arts and culture."
The video series features:
- Eltham solo artist Johnny Cronin, performing Home outside A Local Baker in St Andrews.
- Hana Zreikat (Sounds like Hana), of Research, performing Black Balloons at Tancks Corner in Yarrambat.
- Eltham band The Paperback Writers performing Train Ride at the Outdoor Performance Space at Apollo Parkways, Greensborough.
- St Andrews artist Matt Stonehouse performing Around the Corner at Edendale Community Environment Farm in Eltham.
