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/Chris Jagger (UK) + Bill Barber
DESCRIPTION:In this special edition of The Blues Tram\, we’re hosting Chris Jagger (UK)\, flying in for a whirlwind tour\, including Bendigo on his travels! Local powerhouse Bill Barber will play the opening set from 2pm. Get your tickets as they’re sure to sell fast. \nEnjoy the sights of Bendigo’s architecturally stunning CBD from on board the sensationally restored vintage W Class tram\, while being serenaded by two amazing acts: \nChris Jagger Music:\nChris’s career\, unlike his brother (Mick) has spanned many fields in the artistic spectrum\, from clothes design and theatre to journalism. He has appeared in repertory at The Citizen’s Theatre in Glasgow (his first play there was with one Pierce Brosnan)\, Nottingham Playhouse and the ICA in London as well as in TV and film. He has written for various magazines and newspapers including The Daily Telegraph\, The Guardian\, the Mail on Sunday and Rolling StoneHis first records were made during the 1970’s for David Geffen of Asylum Records in Los Angeles and he toured the USA and the UK.He revitalised his song writing in the late 1980’s when he worked in France as lyricist for producer Franck Langolf [Vanessa Paradis] and helped brother Mick out on the Stones acclaimed albums “Dirty Work” and then later “Steel Wheels.”Chris decided to then concentrate on his own material and the result was the critically acclaimed Sequel C.D. ‘Atcha!’ in 1994\, a mix of Cajun style with Chris’s individual brand of song writing. Acclaimed and respected music critic Tony Parsons in the Telegraph compared his lyrics to those of the famed Sammy Cahn. Contributions came from David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) and Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) on ‘Lhasa Town\, Leo Sayer and a touch of brother Mick on ‘Stand Up for The Foot.’ This record was later released in the US by Curb Records as ‘Rock the Zydeco’ where Chris and his band promoted the record on the Conan O’Brien Show for NBC.Additionally he arranged the music for the Bosnian charity concert – “Bop for Bosnia” -at the BBC in Studio One with Dave Stewart and David Gilmour and two subsequent concerts for Tibet in Battersea Park and Alexandria Park in North London. In 1996 Chris recorded an acoustic album\, ‘From Lhasa To Lewisham’ with associates Ben Waters and Charlie Hart and there followed ‘Channel Fever’ with the Atcha! Band.Act of Faith’ which was released in 2005 on the Hannover-based label SPV\,has also brought Chris and his music to a wider audience in Europe\, Australia\, Japan and Canada where he appeared at the Montreal Jazz Festival in 2007.Besides writing and touring Europe with his band.Chris has recently written and presented a three part series for BBC Radio on Alexis Korner\, the pioneering blues musician and broadcaster. He has also finished a film for SKY ARTS on the blues in Austin Texas with guest contributions from some of the finest and most respected blues musicians including Muddy Waters pianist Pine Top Perkins\, Hubert Sumlin who worked with blues singer Howlin’ Wolf and guitarist Jimmy Vaughan. We catch up with ninety three year old Pinetop as he visits with brother Mick and Chuck Leavell backstage at a Rolling Stones show in Austin TX and reveal stories from the heydays of Chicago blues. The film was a direct result of a radio show that Chris co-hosts from Austin\, ‘The Blueseum Of Fine Art’. \nBill Barber Music:\nAt just 19\, Bill Barber is one of the most exiting guitarists in the Aus Blues scene. Bill Has been playing professionally for 5 years\, sitting in with some of Aus’ best Blues acts including mentor Lloyd Spiegel and along the way supporting acts such as wolfmother\, James Blundell\, Shaun Kirk and more.\nBill’s new album Thanks for consideration is out now.” \nSaturday March 25th\nBlues Tram\, feat: Chris Jagger (UK) + Bill Barber\nDeparting Central Deborah Goldmine (76 Violet Street) at 2pm\, returning 4:15pm.\nTix: $35 from Bendigo Visitor Centre 1800 813 513 or http://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.
