This year, The Rooks Return and Labour in Vain are joining forces to put on a female-fueled honky-tonk and bluegrass show for Leaps and Bounds Festival. You will be able to hear the likes of Foggy Notion, James Ellis w/ Vanessa Wawruszak, Grant Arthur & Freya Josephine Hollick, and many more.

Music will kick off at the Labour at 3 pm there will be alternating sets from both venues until 10 pm. This means that a great bit of live music is only as far as a few doors down at any given time.

The Yarra Council has been kind enough to grant both venues with extended outdoor seating for the day so the event will be a safe environment for all attendees. So grab your best jeans and come down for a day that will surely keep your hips moving and your heels tapping.

3pm - 3:50pm: Easy Browns at the Labour in Vain

4pm - 4:50pm: Katie Bates at The Rooks Return
