The world class program of events includes the UK’s alt-country harmonious 5-piece ahab on March 14; legend of the New York folk scene Judy Collins on March 15, and on March 17 founding member of both The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers and widely recognised as an originator of American country rock, Chris Hillman, performing alongside Californian banjo player and guitarist Herb Pedersen. Local rock outfit Wagons will, on March 9, present their unique brand of stomping outlaw country, with a dash of irresistible croon and classic pop. With many more acts are yet to be announced, Carnival of Suburbia cements Oakleigh’s place as a hub of live music performance. Emerging out of the so-called cultural “wastelands” of the south back in March 2010, Carnival of Suburbia rose like a flower in the desert to firmly establish itself as an iconic ten day annual event celebrating Melbourne’s suburban soul and culture. Suburbanites and citysiders alike flocked for tickets. Born from the need to fill the void of great music venues in the suburbs, Oakleigh’s Caravan Music Club has gone from strength to strength by showcasing quality national and international talent to music-starved local audiences. This 2nd annual instalment of the Carnival of Suburbia runs across the whole ten days of the 2012 Oakleigh Music Festival with headline acts getting the crowd moving each night at the Caravan Music Club. Stay tuned for the next line-up announcement, as yet more national and international acts prepare to make their way to the suburbs’ cultural hotspot that is Oakleigh. Caravan Music Club is at 95-97 Drummond Street, Oakleigh, Victoria.
