This year's talent lineup proves that, when it comes to country music, Camden doesn't just talk the talk - we walk the walk.
Sharing the stage with headline act James Johnston at Camden Council's highly-anticipated Boots n' Beats event this year will be:
- Carly Mozsny, a proud Camden local with a strong passion for country music;
- Hayden Phillis, who released his debut album in 2025 and is quickly gaining attention as an emerging artist;
- Jamie Preston, a Sydney South-West talent who first busked at the original Boots n' Beats event in 2022 and has since soared, releasing his own music and now taking to the main stage;
- Mak and Shar, one of Australia's most refreshing new country-pop duos, known for their tight sibling harmonies, dynamic live shows and modern, catchy sound;
- Ronnie Joudo, a former The Voice contestant whose deep vocals and story-driven songwriting blend traditional country roots with a modern edge; and
- Tori Darke, a local favourite returning for a second time after performing in 2022, who has since appeared on The Voice and continues to rise in the country music scene.
In the food, drink and product space, attendees will be able to visit more than 40 stalls, including:
- Cholito Empanadas;
- Yummy Time Dumpling;
- That's Amore Italian Woodfire Pizza;
- The King and His Q with barbeque meats;
- Lush Berries;
- Mr Puff Loukomades;
- G-Free Donuts;
- Old School Ice Cream;
- Le Petit Fromage with artesian charcuterie boxes;
- Artisan Delish Salami; and
- Serving Up Country, selling apparel.
Council's boot-scootin' Boots n' Beats will be held on Saturday 13 June, 2-8pm, at Camden Bicentennial Equestrian Park.
Mayor of Camden, Cr Therese Fedeli, said this year's talent, food and drink lineup would deliver a great time in spades.
"From our headline act right through to our local legends, every artist was handpicked to deliver great music, create an incredible atmosphere and have you buzzing about the country experience for weeks to come," she said.
"We're incredibly proud of the talent, and food and drink offerings, we've rounded up this year.
"In terms of food, I can assure you that no one is going home hungry. From smoky barbecue to crowd-favourite classics, the food and drink on offer will be just as amazing as the music.
"We poured a lot of love into this event and we can't wait to share it with you all."
