February 5th, 2025Free February live music line-up at the Daylesford Hotel
The Daylesford Hotel is hosting a series of live weekend music acts this month – and an added bonus for music lovers is that they’ll be free to catch.
Coming up this Saturday February 8, The Martini Set plays from 2pm – 4pm. The Martini Set are well loved for their diverse range of jazz, swing and early rock n roll with an inclusive spark and a whole lot of energy.
Their lively repertoire includes songs by the great Louis Prima, Bobby Darin, the Rat Pack crew, James Hunter and Indigo Swing.
Featuring vintage styling, smooth vocals, boogie woogie rhythms and a strong back beat, this band creates a sophisticated ambience and keeps the dance floor jumping.
Next up it’s Daylesford’s Vida Jazz Trio playing on Saturday, February 15 from 2pm – 4pm.
They’re fronted by the soulful vocals of Tania Vida Petrini and promise a chilled afternoon of swinging jazz, warm blues, and rising soul.
Their energy is infectious, their groove is strong, and their music creates an atmosphere that keeps audiences coming back for more.
Whether it’s a smooth ballad, an upbeat swing, or a roof-raising blues number, Vida Jazz has built a reputation for bringing a rich and dynamic sound that fills the space and lifts the mood.
Featuring a lineup of seasoned musicians, including pianist and composer Jem Challender, double bass and guitarist Bruce Millar, drummer Matt Bishop, and the occasional brilliance of trumpeter Vinnie Bourke, the band blends deep experience with a passion for live performance.
With decades of combined expertise, they deliver music that’s both timeless and celebrates jazz in all its forms.
And then on Saturday, February 22, EMILY GRANT are set to play, again in the afternoon, from 2pm – 4pm.
EMILY GRANT (pictured at top) is the unlikely but formidable duo of classically trained pianist Emily Kate (piano, vocals) and rock loving guitarist Grant Michael.
All dates look well worth locking into your weekend events calendar.
