Held in the township of Kyneton across 13 venues including pubs, churches and the newly restored Kyneton Mechanics Institute, Boots & Roots is a mix of folk, blues, gospel, country, celtic, jazz, acoustic, brass, swing, covers, originals and of course rock. There’s something for everyone at The Kyneton Boots & Roots Music Festival.
