SUMMARY:The Blues Tram w/Geoff Achison + Cass Eager (Duo)
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy the sights of Bendigo’s architecturally stunning CBD from on board the sensationally restored vintage W Class tram\, while being serenaded by two great acts. \nCass Eager:\nNamed by folk-blog Timber and Steel as ‘Janis Joplin and Ben Harper’s love-child’\, Cass Eager’s mix of raw blues\, husky soul and lighthearted ditties are all punctuated with her unique whisky-soaked vocals. Emotive\, slightly raspy\, at times tender and at times powerful – Eager’s voice is the driving force of her music.\nInternationally-renowned but defiantly grassroots\, Cass Eager is one of those rare artists that’s mastered everything from the foot-stomping blues to a sensual slow burner. She’s been called ‘one of the best female singers in Australia’ by Richard Glover (ABC)\, and even Diesel claims she could ‘sing the phone book to you and you wouldn’t get bored’. \nGeoff Achison:\nGeoff Achison is an award winning blues-roots artist from Australia known for his energetic live performances and unique guitar mastery. Geoff began his apprenticeship with legendary Australian blues stylist ‘Dutch’ Tilders establishing himself as a fine lead guitarist before striking out with his own. He was an independent music pioneer releasing music on his own record label in the early 90s and touring throughout the USA\, UK & Europe. Geoff’s music has been compared favourably to Eric Clapton and the Allman Brothers Band having a solid foundation in the blues whilst embracing a variety of electric & acoustic styles. His songwriting is original and thoughtful with a wry sense of humour reminiscent at times of Randy Newman\, JJ Cale and Mose Allison. \nSaturday November 9th\nBlues Tram\, feat: Geoff Achison + Cass Eager\nDeparting Central Deborah Goldmine (76 Violet Street) at 8pm\, returning 10:30pm.\nTix: $39 from Bendigo Visitor Centre 1800 813 513 or online here: https://www.bendigotourism.com/tours/bendigo-cbd/bendigo-blues-tram\nFollow The Blues Tram here: https://www.facebook.com/TheBluesTram \nStrictly no BYO. Drinks and snacks 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 – a mobile concert. For the enjoyment of all patrons\, any rowdy or loud behavior will not be tolerated. Event management reserves the right to refuse admission or evict patrons if requests to manage behavior are not complied with; in this unlikely event\, tickets of offenders will be forfeited and no refund will be available.

SUMMARY:Blues Tram w/Matt Katsis + Jess Parker & The Troubled Waters
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy the sights of Bendigo’s architecturally stunning CBD from on board the sensationally restored vintage W Class tram\, while being serenaded by two great acts: \nMatt Katsis:\n“A bluesman at heart\, avid wanderer reflecting troubadour tradition\, albeit delicately picked ballads to foot stomping slide guitar driven down-home blues swagger. Melbourne singer-songwriter & guitarist Matt Katsis features a “one-man-band” approach through use of percussive elements of the acoustic guitar\, kick drum\, stomp-box and tambourine\, this has seen Matt take to audiences far and wide with the ease and merit that parallel’s his music.\nPast festival performances include our very own Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival\, Blues on Broadbeach (QLD)\, Queenscliff Music Festival (VIC)\, Illawarra Folk Festival (NSW) and most recent support shows with Australian Roots Music Legends Jeff Lang & The Backsliders has certainly set the tone for what’s to come.\nHis latest live album release ‘Live At The Wheaty’ encompasses his distinctive fusion of folk\, blues and roots\, which was compiled following two separate shows at The Wheatsheaf\, Adelaide during his ‘As The River Runs’ National Tour.” \nJess Parker & The Troubled Waters:\n“With a voice like honey poured over a thunder\, a howling\, beat up old Gretsch guitar and thumping animalistic drums\, Jess Parker &\nThe Troubled Waters mix their unique brew of dark Australiana and roaring swamp blues perfectly. After recording their debut EP – ‘Goin’ Swimmin’ at The Aviary in late 2017 and embarking on a a string of local and regional shows\, the momentum and force this Melbourne duos’ train is growing stronger and proving to be unstoppable.” \nSaturday January 11th\nBlues Tram\, feat: Matt Katsis + Jess Parker & The Troubled Waters\nDeparting Central Deborah Goldmine (76 Violet Street) at 2pm\, returning 4:15pm.\nTix: $39 from Bendigo Visitor Centre 1800 813 513 or online here: https://www.bendigotourism.com/tours/bendigo-cbd/bendigo-blues-tram\nFollow The Blues Tram here: https://www.facebook.com/TheBluesTram \nStrictly no BYO.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED Easter Blues Tram w/Karrie Hayward + Miguel Rios
DESCRIPTION:A super-talented young singer/songwriter from Queensland\, in town for Easter Blues Bender\, returns to ride the rails while a talented singer/songwriter from Melbourne 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 serenaded by two great acts: \nKarrie Hayward:\nWhen you blend the rich\, soulful vocal tones with the vibrant\, percussive timbre of a guitar\, you get Karrie Hayward. Drawing inspiration from blues music and guitar heroes such as John Mayer\, Buddy Guy\, BB King; to the more ‘chilled’ sounds of Jack Johnson and Tash Sultana\, Karrie’s own style is a blend of the best parts of folk\, pop\, alt and blues. \nMiguel Rios (Running Blue):\nRunning Blue is the musical moniker for songwriter and singer Miguel Rios and fiddle player Ash Jones. Rios\, grew up in the Queensland tablelands\, beautiful and taunting country\, Rios\, part Mexican\, part native American\, writes songs which are lyrically driven\, the words are both simple and incisive\, a dichotomy matched by a vocal style that is pure and unforced\, yet raw. These are detailed and deeply personal stories but they also thrum with universal truths. This gifted\, highly original singer-songwriter gives soulful voice to the longings and dark comedies of human striving that play out against the natural world. His gift has been burnished by the accompaniment of his close friend\, Ash Jones. Rios and this extraordinarily talented fiddler know each other inside out\, and it shows in the way Jones’s playing weaves in and out of the music like smoke through sunbeams. \nSaturday April 11th\nBlues Tram\, feat: Karrie Hayward + Miguel Rios\nDeparting Central Deborah Goldmine (76 Violet Street) at 2pm\, returning 4:15pm.\nTix: $39 from Bendigo Visitor Centre 1800 813 513 or online here: https://www.bendigotourism.com/tours/bendigo-cbd/bendigo-blues-tram\nFollow The Blues Tram here: https://www.facebook.com/TheBluesTram \nStrictly no BYO.

SUMMARY:The Blues Tram w/Luke Watt + Alawishus Jones & The Outright Lies
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy the sights of Bendigo’s architecturally stunning CBD from on board the sensationally restored vintage W Class tram\, while being serenaded by two brilliant acts: \nLuke Watt is a folk/blues guitarist and songwriter described by ABC National as “Raw and mercurial\, the real deal\,” and by Lloyd Spiegel as “A master of his craft.”\nDespite the experiences of touring his last album Hill End Ruin throughout Europe and the U.S\, Luke Watt’s new record is inspired by stories based much closer to home. Wild Graces is a collection of songs inspired by\, written and recorded in his now home of Central Victoria. The record was then mixed by long-time collaborator Nick Huggins (Jen Cloher\, Skipping Girl Vinegar\, Whitley). Luke’s folk and blues guitar playing carries songs of failed gold diggers\, small town tragedies and feuds between cranky old men. Wild Graces is an album from a touring artist who set up home and found stories worth telling. \nAll the way from the heart of the deep south comes the sound of authenticity cobbled together by three of the finest purveyors of twenty first century blues. Alawishus Jones\, Cleitus Johnson and T-Bone Redding seamlessly combine in multi-instrumental song lines that are rambunctious and delicious in equal measures.\nFixtures on all good festivals these ragtime playing rapscallions put on a rollicking show full of great music\, showmanship and comedy. Their first album ‘Little White Lies’ was launched earlier this year and greeted with ‘hollers’ and hoots of approval from all and sundry.\nPull up your braces\, button your collar\, hang on to your seats and get ready for the highly democratic\, somewhat enigmatic\, often melodramatic\, fully gyrostatic and totally charismatic Alawishus Jones & The Outright Lies! \nSaturday August 8th\nBlues Tram\, feat: Luke Watt + Alawishus Jones & The Outright Lies\nDeparting Central Deborah Goldmine (76 Violet Street) at 2pm (sharp)\, returning 4:15pm (approx.).\nTix: $39 from Bendigo Visitor Centre 1800 813 513 or online here: https://www.bendigotourism.com/tours/bendigo-cbd/bendigo-blues-tram\nFollow The Blues Tram here: https://www.facebook.com/TheBluesTram \nStrictly no BYO.

He has won awards for his guitar playing\, songwriting and live performances and was honoured in 2011 as official Patron Of the Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society.\nAs a song-writer\, Geoff explores a myriad of themes from love & loss to politics & philosophy; often with his wry sense of humour shining through.
