SUMMARY:The Blues Tram w/Genevieve Chadwick + David Spry
DESCRIPTION:The Friday night Blues Tram (as part of this year’s Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival) is a cracker! Genevieve Chadwick makes a welcome return to the rails\, while Darwin’s David Spry makes his Blues Tram debut! \nEnjoy the sights of Bendigo’s architecturally stunning CBD from on board the sensationally restored vintage W Class tram\, while being suitably entertained by these two great acts: \nGenevieve Chadwick:\nImagine if Janis Joplin and John Lee Hooker had a baby together; musically\, this girl would be the offspring of that union.\nShe looks like an angel… roars like a lion… and plays guitar like a demon! She’s been likened to the great Janis Joplin… ‘a female John Butler’. In his article at australianstage.com.au\, reviewer Lloyd Bradford Syke called her “Australia’s answer to Melissa Etheridge”.\nEvery once in a while an artist emerges who touches the very soul of an audience. Genevieve Chadwick is such an artist.\nWithout doubt\, Genevieve is an extraordinary performer who exudes raw energy by the bucket load. She has the power to bring an entire venue to a complete standstill. Her own original brand of Blues and Roots – poignant songs full of rich melodies\, sung with a voice that’s confoundingly gravel-like and smooth all at once – has given this singer/songwriter from the NSW South Coast a loyal and ever-growing army of followers. \nDavid Spry:\nOriginal singer/songwriter\, David Spry draws influence from his world travels and relates this to his Indigenous Australian heritage through heartfelt\, powerful and uplifting songs. From a long line of storytellers\, David uses his inherited gift and shares his experiences in a contemporary blend of Roots and Blues music with a uniquely upbeat vibe. David has made his mark on the Australian music scene in the most recent years sharing stages alongside talents such as Archie Roach\, Michael Franti & Spearhead\, Busby Marou\, Ash Grunwald\, Tex Perkins\, The Cat Empire and Jeff Lang. With recent performances include Blue Mountains Music Festival\, Nannup Music Festival\, Darwin Festival\, National Indigenous Music Awards\, Nimbin Roots Festival\, Caloundra Music Festival and St Kilda Festival\, David is solidifying the fresh new sound of Indigenous contemporary music. \nFriday Nov 10th\nBlues Tram\, feat: Genevieve Chadwick (NSW) + David Spry (NT)\nDeparting Central Deborah Goldmine (76 Violet Street) at 7pm\, returning 9:30pm.\nTix: $35 from Bendigo Visitor Centre 1800 813 513 or http://www.bendigotourism.com/bendigo-blues-tram\nFollow The Blues Tram here: https://www.facebook.com/TheBluesTram \nStrictly no BYO – drinks and snacks are available for purchase. \nThe Blues Tram is organised and staged by Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival Inc\, a not-for-profit organisation run by volunteers. \nPlease Note:\nThis is a music appreciation event. For the enjoyment of all patrons\, any rowdy or loud behaviour will not be tolerated. If you don’t think you can resist talking during performances\, perhaps this event is not for you.  Event management reserves the right to refuse admission or evict patrons if requests to manage noise levels or other behaviour are not complied with; in this unlikely event\, tickets of offenders will be forfeited and no refund will be available.

SUMMARY:The Blues Tram w/ Phil Manning + Simon & Tammy London
DESCRIPTION:The Sunday Blues Tram (as part of this year’s Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival) will feature an Australian blues legend in Phil Manning\, along with a sublime WA duo in Simon & Tammy London. \nEnjoy the sights of Bendigo’s architecturally stunning CBD from on board the sensationally restored vintage W Class tram\, while being suitably entertained by these two great acts: \nPhil Manning:\nA veteran of the music industry in Australia\, Phil Manning has been at the forefront of blues and roots style music for 5 decades.\nDuring this time he has displayed great talent on both the electric and acoustic guitar while absorbing influences from folk\, blues\, country and world genres and crafting them into his unique style.\nHis high energy playing and relaxed delivery make him an engaging artist performing both original and traditional songs.\nHe has toured throughout Australia and New Zealand\, as well as appearing at many festivals and venues in Ireland\, UK\, Vietnam\, Cambodia and even Bali.\nOver forty years he has recorded a large number of albums\, both as a soloist and as a member of Chain\, not to mention the countless sessions on other artist’s recordings\, film music and product ads.\nPhil Manning is a consummate live performer and it is here that he shines. \nSimon & Tammy London:\nOff the back of playing some of Western Australia’s favourite festivals including Fairbridge 2016 and supporting some of Australia’s big names\, Simon and Tammy London know how to please a crowd. The chemistry of their voices\, the harmonies that lay together\, can deliver you to a special place\, a rarity. Tammy’s gospel holler and clarion presence with Simon’s blues-gravel lows and soaring highs\, offers something that comes around only once in a while. Hailing from the southern coast of WA\, Simon and Tammy London have made their isolation work for them; the landscapes and people\, the places and lives within them all encapsulated in their disarming and honest delivery of songs.\n“Hearing Simon and Tammy London for the first time I was astounded. Riveting chemistry\, stunning harmonies\, superbly crafted songs…This is great Australian music that simply must be heard” Vikki Thorn (The Waifs) \nSaturday Nov 12th\nBlues Tram\, feat: Phil Manning (VIC) + Simon & Tammy London (WA)\nDeparting Central Deborah Goldmine (76 Violet Street) at 1pm\, returning 3:30pm.\nTix: $35 from Bendigo Visitor Centre 1800 813 513 or http://www.bendigotourism.com/bendigo-blues-tram\nFollow The Blues Tram here: https://www.facebook.com/TheBluesTram \nStrictly no BYO – drinks and snacks are available for purchase. \nThe Blues Tram is organised and staged by Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival Inc\, a not-for-profit organisation run by volunteers. \nPlease Note:\nThis is a music appreciation event.
