The Brisbane songwriting institution was founded in 2005 as 8 Ball Aitken’s TAFE assignment. “I am amazed and so grateful of the support Mt Coot-tha Songwriters Festival has received for the past two decades. We have stayed true to our mission of promoting Brisbane blues and roots music talent, and we’re blessed to still be making music together.” The festival stage features six hours of non-stop original entertainment from fine Queensland blues, roots, folk, alt. country, and acoustic songwriters.
