Byron Bay Bluesfest kicks off to a roaring crowd as the stages see incredible performances from Nikki Hill, The Brothers Landreth and St Paul and The Broken Bones

Byron Bay’s annual Bluesfest kicked off Thursday before the Easter long weekend.

Sensational acts took over the seven stages as beaming event-goers poured onto the grounds to watch their favorite artists.

American blues singer Nikki Hill stole the show as she performed her best tunes to a cheering crowd.

Dressed in a snazzy red-and-white long-sleeve shirt tucked into black jeans, the North Carolina-born performer worked the stage to her advantage.

A bold red lip accentuated her timeless beauty as she sang at the top of her lungs, clearly in her element on Australia’s east coast.

Elsewhere, the Landreth brothers brought in some Canadian alternative country and folk music to shake things up.

Brothers Joey and David, the group’s founders, stood front and center in matching white button-ups and black jeans.

The musical duo hid their eyes behind sunglasses as they played their guitars and shared vocal duties for the night.

St Paul and The Broken Bones also flew over from the US to play Down Under.

The eight-piece soul band from Birmingham, Alabama drew one of the larger crowds of the night with hundreds of fans under their tent.

All members of the musical group were present, including frontliner Paul Janeway who donned an all-black outfit and black hat while leading the vocals.

Browan Lollar played guitar in hand at his best, with Jesse Phillips, Kevin Leon, Al Gamble, Allen Branstetter, Amari Ansari and Chad Fisher all also on stage.
