The 2025 Agnes Water Blues, Roots, and Rock Festival is set to be a powerhouse of talent, and this year’s lineup just got even more exciting with the addition of 21-year-old virtuoso blues/southern rock guitarist and singer/songwriter, Otis Namrell.
Regular #AgnesBluesFest ticket holders will remember the high energy and high impact performance in 2023 by Otis Namrell and Jack Blandford on the Sunday afternoon in the Main Marquee Stage. As Agnes Blue, they were crowd favourites in 2023 and then went on to share more music at a local Sport & Recreation Club jam after the festival. Their whole 2023 set and visit to Agnes Water & 1770 was a memorable one!
Originally hailing from the Northern Rivers region, Otis Namrell has rapidly become one of Australia’s most electrifying young talents in the scene. With a style that transcends traditional blues, Otis infuses his performances with elements of jazz, swamp rock, country, and psychedelic rock, creating a unique and innovative sound.
His unique approach and playing style has already caught the attention of the blues community, likening him to a seasoned musician with decades of experience. After relocating to Melbourne, Otis quickly became a fixture in the city’s vibrant live music scene, sharing the stage with some of the finest musicians and bands, including Willie J & The Bad Books, 8 Ball Aitken, Dillion James, and Million Johnny’s.
In Melbourne, Otis has been a standout performer at the St Kilda Blues Festival and has graced the stages of several prominent blues venues and clubs, such as the Hume Blues Club, Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society (MBAS), and the Elwood Blues Club. His performances have consistently turned heads, with audiences captivated by his emotive playing, dynamic vocals, and spellbinding improvisation.
With a maturity and depth in his music that belies his age, Otis Namrell is poised to make waves on the global blues stage. His appearance at the 2025 Agnes Water Blues, Roots, and Rock Festival is an opportunity for festival-goers to witness this rising star before he ascends to even greater heights.
Don’t miss the chance to experience Otis Namrell’s extraordinary talent live at the Agnes Water Blues, Roots, and Rock Festival. This is a performance you’ll be talking about for years to come.
