Overview
When the middle-of-the-week blues hit, there are two solutions. Hitting a bar for a midweek drink is a tried-and-tested pick-me-up, while listening to someone else sing away their troubles also remains an old favourite. Acoustic Wednesdays, The Triffid's Wednesday night acoustic session, combines both — and, with the venue back in business post COVID-19 lockdowns, the free music series is livening up your hump day until Wednesday, September 2.
The music lineup changes weekly, with Joel Myles and Wolfe Petersen hitting the stage on July 22, Tiarne and The Letter Elle doing the same on July 29, OJ Mengel and Willow taking the microphone on August 5, and Ruby Gilbert and Meg Ripps doing the honours on August 12. Or, check out Hugo Stranger and Cryss on August 19, Shallie and Patrick Williams on August 26, and Hello Jane and Nathan Melvin-Tong once the beginning of September rolls around.
These talented performers will do their unamplified thing and make your midweek brighter, with the laidback festivities taking over the Newstead hangout at 7pm. The venue's relaxed beer garden proves the perfect place for it, and an ideal spot for grabbing a few beverages — and even a bite to eat.
The Triffid's Acoustic Wednesdays run from 7pm each Wednesday until September 2.
