Martha Salt is Back!

Released: 25 October 2021

That’s right, we are back! And what better way to celebrate than with some fabulous live music right here in Mt Martha?

We are booking a number of great acts over the next three months, and starting off on November 20th with Dan Dinnen & Shorty. You will love their tasteful and soulful country blues, just the thing for a great evening out. These guys are flying high with their latest album up for a Music Victoria award right now.

Martha Salt will have the wonderful cheese platters for sale, and you can always grab a meal in the village before the show and make a night of it.… READ MORE
