GROUNDED AND GRITTY:  MARCUS CASSELLS TO DEBUT AT #AGNESBLUESFEST 2027

Agnes Blues, Roots & Rock Festival continues to roll out a sizzling summer line-up of live music, confirming their next compelling artist for the intimate Discovery Stage to complement the main Marquee Stage from 19 – 21 February 2027 at the SES Grounds, Town of 1770.

Among almost 20 mesmerising performers to share their music up close and personal with the Discovery Stage audience in February 2027 will be Victorian-based singer-songwriter Marcus Cassells.

Marcus Cassells is an Australian singer-songwriter whose music blends country storytelling, folk intimacy, and the grit of alternative and grunge influences. His work is grounded in lived experience and delivered with an unfiltered vocal presence that prioritises honesty over polish.

Performing both solo and with his band The Baha Collective, Marcus has built a reputation for performances that are intimate, grounded, and emotionally direct – where storytelling sits at the centre of the music.

Career highlights for Marcus include opening for 1927 on their Australian tour, as well as guesting for and sharing stages with Bill Chambers, Eric Bogle, Gallie and Fiona Boyes. He has performed at venues and events such as The Gershwin Room in The Espy, Crown Casino and the Tamworth Country Music Festival.

Don’t miss the honest, alternative and unfiltered Marcus Cassells, performing up close and personal for the very first time on the #AgnesBluesFest Discovery Stage from 12.45-1.30pm on Sunday 21 February 2027. You’ll be held spellbound by the lived-experience storytelling and compelling music of this amazing, authentic artist.

Designed to complement the Marquee Stage program within the vibrant Festival precinct at the 1770 SES Grounds and about to celebrate its seventh year, the Discovery Stage encompasses the blues, roots and rock genres within a relaxed, intimate atmosphere; getting up close and personal and showcasing original music performed by an eclectic range of entertaining regional artists from Central Queensland and beyond.
