The artists participate in a series of workshops provided by Music SA, focusing on the creating and facilitating successful live events. Each show is provided with a marketing and production budget courtesy of Coopers Brewery and The Australian Business Arts Foundation, which the artists use to create unique, one-off shows. Previously, bands have incorporated live audio and video recordings, concert lighting and video projections, guest DJs, street art, and even themed party nights.
“We have hand picked what we believe are some of the best emerging and established bands in SA, covering Acoustic/Roots, Rock, Pop, Hip-Hop, Groove, Post Rock, World Music and Metal," said Music SA's Gordon Andersen.
"We believe that Coopers Alive proudly represents the quality and eclectic variety of music that's brewing here in SA's own back yard.”
