Tonight, the 2014 Byron Bluesfest drew to a close, bringing five days and nights of world class music to an end with the final headline duties falling on the capable shoulders of the Dave Matthews Band, Gary Clark Jr and Elvis Costello and the Imposters on the main stages, while Watussi, Ray Beadle and Playing For Change ensured the party continued on the smaller stages too.

Revered photography brand Canon Australia have amassed a group of select photographers in Australia which they have dubbed the 'Canon Masters.' Prominent Bondi-based photographer Eugene Tan deservedly stands in this exclusive circle, revered for his daily routine of documenting beach culture around the world. Many who live in the iconic suburb of Bondi also know him as the founder and owner of the gorgeous Aquabumps gallery.

I saw Die! Die! Die! play in in a cramped pub with really expensive beer once; I accidentally knocked a full pint out of someone's hand but fortunately he was dancing so hard he didn't even notice; such is the band's magic. "Sister" (from the forthcoming S W I M) is an instant hit of the noisy, anthemic excitement the Kiwis have perfected which I'm sure will have people dancing just as hard.

After a long layoff after 2010's still-luminous Autumn, Again, Brooklynite dreamgazers A Sunny Day in Glasgow are back with "Crushin". Coming from the forthcoming Sea When Absent, it's a welcome reminder of how easy it can be to drift off completely.

Survivor horror. The sick brain loving zombie is here to get you once again. Low ammo, bad weapons, and hordes of enemies – yeah the genre is a hard one to shake off. Looks like it’s just me and Naughty Dog who are going to end all the expectation of a trope that comes back from the dead more times than it’s in-game denizens.

Yet another British singer-songwriter whose popularity seems to be growing exponentially, the sold out Enmore Theatre crowd consisted of about 90% British attendees. That would probably explain why this show was sold out, as I don’t think Jake Bugg is as well-known amongst Australian fans that would warrant such a packed room. Regardless those in the crowd were definitely eager to see him perform.

A slow start for many today, the Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm seemed to be easing in to Sunday at Bluesfest - snoozily/slowly working through hangovers from Saturday night, it was an easy guess that there may not be as many in attendance today as there had been over the past few days. It was of no matter to me however, as I scored myself a spot on the lawn at Crossroads for C.W Stoneking to kick off my music schedule for the day.

Deni Blues & Roots Festival kicked on over the Easter long weekend with 2 days of fantastic performances. Here are the shots of the second day with acts including Gary Clark Jr and The Doobie Brothers by our very own Ian Laidlaw:

From Gary Clark Jr to The Wailers and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Byron Bay isn't the only place to see the legends and finest up-and-coming artists this weekend. The Deni Blues and Roots Festival is happening in Deniliquin, NSW, near the Victorian Border. Our writer Lachlan Mitchell is there and brings us these five highlights from his first day:
