Based in Melbourne, Australia, Black Market Music began in 1991 with the aim of bringing international blues and roots music to the Australian public through an import and retail business. The wealth of talent on local soil soon found them shifting focus to local artists.

The festival will be held at Fremantle Park, which is bordered by Ellen, Ord and Parry Streets and is close to the city centre of Fremantle.

The intent of this site is to provide comprehensive information on all blues artists from Australia, with a particular focus on historical information. Only those artists with recorded output are considered for inclusion, though any recording of any form will do.

Our new site was welcomed by everyone, and the reviews we received were more than just positive; everyone was stoked with the new site. We have now settled ourselves in to our new home and as a result, this year the reviews were even better. Here's to hosting many more Bluesfests at our permanent home at Tyagarah!
