SUMMARY:The Blues Tram w/Daniel Aaron + Phil & Trudy Edgeley
DESCRIPTION:A super-talented young Bendigo singer/songwriter makes his Blues Tram Debut while a long established Central Victorian duo make their return to the rails on our September 2019 ride. \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: \nDaniel Aaron:\nHailing from the small farming community of Pyramid Hill\, Daniel Aaron’s alternative groove origins are a slight mystery. Since discovering the world of music at a young age\, the self taught artist has quickly developed his own unique\, homegrown style\, bringing bout a high energy atmosphere\, or an intense ambience. His whirling\, genre-bending melodies\, accompanied with dexterous multi-instrumentalism\, are all moulded with intricate looping and mixing to give a colourful contrast of country boy and city beats. Daniel’s passion for music has had him develop a stage presence that will surely have you captivated. \nPhil & Trudy Edgeley:\nTrudy brings forth elements of gospel\, work song\, Pacific Islander and Indigenous melodies & rhythms\, to mix and match Phil’s love affair with the Mississippi Delta and British Traditional Folk to create amiable and\, on the quiet\, powerful material. Phil and Trudy Edgeley experience is one that transcends music into both a gentle reflection and passionate celebration of Life – wondrous and earthy narratives evoked with fire and grace. This is one of the great musical experiences Australia has to offer. A duo that really defines Roots music – engaging and confrontational. A great experience – Russell Morris \nSaturday September 14th\nBlues Tram\, feat: Phil & Trudy Edgeley + Daniel Aaron\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:LUCIE THORNE - KITTY & FRANK Album Launch
DESCRIPTION:Painting landscapes with dream-soaked synths\, irresistible beats\, poetry and pathos\, Lucie Thorne presents her extraordinary new art/pop concept album Kitty & Frank. With Kitty & Frank\, Thorne traces the wild true stories of young frontier woman Kitty Walsh and her lover\, the charismatic bandit & bushranger Frank Gardiner. In the 1860’s Gold Fever came to Wheogo NSW and like Deadwood\, it didn’t end well. Delivered live with Thorne’s trademark storytelling warmth and charm\, Kitty & Frank inhabits a sonic world that calls to mind a meeting of David Bowie’s Blackstar and Kate Bush’s Ariel\, whilst spanning a tale of Shakespearean proportions. All this at the hands of one of Australia’s finest song-poets who has ventured to triumphant new ground with staggering certitude. \nLucie is touring far and wide throughout the spring to celebrate the album’s release – and for this Bendigo show she’ll be joined by stellar bandmates Hamish Stuart (drums) Alice Williams (bass & harmonies). \n“Thorne conjures a simple narrative flow that\, like a Raymond Carver story\, transforms everyday life into high art” (Canberra Times) \nhttp://www.luciethorne.com

SUMMARY:The Blues Tram w/Karrie Hayward + Jarrod Shaw
DESCRIPTION:A super-talented young singer/songwriter from Queensland makes her Blues Tram Debut while a well established Victorian bluesman returns to ride the rails in October 2019. \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. \nJarrod Shaw:\nJarrod Shaw possesses a passion and appreciation for blues music that becomes obvious from the moment the first note sounds. He delivers a soulful blues inspired show\, performed with conviction.\nJarrod was born and raised in country Victoria\, down the dirt roads of the Macedon Ranges. He taught himself to play guitar listening to the renowned blues greats\, as well as the icons of the Australian and local Melbourne blues scene.\nPerforming countless solo gigs has aided Jarrod in developing a musical style of his own. He blends his unique guitar approach lying somewhere between piedmont fingerstyle and the blues of the delta\, with a powerful voice often described as belying his years. At times he even wails away on a racked blues harp – all at once without missing a beat. If you close your eyes you might even believe there’s more than one person performing… \nSaturday October 12th\nBlues Tram\, feat: Karrie Hayward + Jarrod Shaw\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/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.

SUMMARY:Lazy Eye 'Whisky & Gin' tour
DESCRIPTION:Think B.B. King sharing a scotch with Booker T at the Crossroads after midnight. With more awards than you can poke a mojo hand at\, what started out as a hair brained idea between two friends medicating their way through jazz school over a bottle of red has taken them on an adventure that spans the globe. Multiple gongs in fact suggest Lazy Eye delivers some of the best original blues Australia has to offer. \nNot all smooth sailing however\, it was while broken down on the side of the highway in their well worn tour van that Lazy Eye learned they had been named Group Of The Year at the 2015 Australian Blues Music Awards where they were to appear. But regional Australia\, where the act cut their teeth is a long way from the famed B.B. Kings Blues Club in Memphis where they performed to a packed house just one year later. \nDelighting audiences throughout their homeland and from the U.S. to Japan\, Evan Whetter’s vocals are gritty with a velvety smack of soul\, wielding his weather beaten Hammond with style as he leads an all killer no filler line up featuring rising star of the guitar Erica Graf and the supremely talented Mario Marino on drums. Lazy Eye’s latest offering Black Hill perfectly captures the band in their native environment\, live in concert and catapulted the band again to “Group Of The Year at the 2019 Australian Blues Music Awards as well as earning a finalist nomination for “Song Of The Year”. This time you bet they didn’t break down and miss all the fun! \nSupported by local blues powerhouse Messin’ Round\, it’s a night not to be missed! \nDon’t miss the opportunity to check them out live at The All Seasons Bendigo! Tickets just $20 #allseasonsallgood

SUMMARY:Carus Thompson (WA)
DESCRIPTION:Following on from his performance at the 2019 Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival\, having just released his latest album\, Shakespeare Avenue\, we are excited to welcome Freo’s Carus Thompson back to The Shiraz Republic. \nFree entry. Lunch from 12pm. Music 2PM-5PM. \n— \nGlobe trotting troubadour Carus Thompson has toured the world alongside The John Butler Trio\, The Waifs\, Xavier Rudd\, Jack Johnson & Pete Murray\, selling over 30\,000 albums along the way. \nHe returns with his seventh studio album Shakespeare Avenue. \nRecorded in Dartmoor\, in the South-West of England with Mercury nominated producer Sean Lakeman\, the album takes its name from a street in Bath\, Somerset where Thompson’s late Grandfather lived\, before he left his home for Australia. \nIn the reverse of his Grandfather’s journey\, for Shakespeare Avenue Thompson moved his family to Dartmoor to write and record with a new approach that delved further down the folk path\, spurred by his connection with good friend and folk-star Seth Lakeman. \nSeth\, his brother Sean (who’s supurb production perfectly accentuates Thompson’s songs)\, and Sean’s partner the sublime Kathryn Roberts all feature on Shakespeare Avenue. Often referred to as a “virtual folk dynasty”\, the trio bring their heavyweight musicianship to the record. \nThompson’s narrative\, character based\, emotive songs have long earned him comparisons to Springsteen and Mellancamp\, however this time there is also a distinct Richard Thompson\, Christy Moore\, Dick Gaughin folk edge. \nThe connection with the Lakeman clan\, together with the move to England\, has paid dividends with what is undeniably Thompson’s best work to date. \nHe launches the album around Australia through October / November before taking these new songs to Europe & the UK in 2020. \n“This is quality songwriting” – Jeff Jenkins\, Living in the Land of OZ \n“A treasure in the Australian musical landscape” – The Dwarf \n— \nAs always expect some great Shiraz Republic wines on pour\, Cornella Brewery beers on tap and a fully stocked bar with everything else. \nFood stall details tbd. Shuttle buses available from Bendigo & Heathcote. \nThe details:\n* Free Entry.\n* Shiraz Republic wines and Cornella Brewery craft beers on tap with producers available for chats\n* Fully-stocked bar with your regular favourite drinks and soft drinks also available\n* Pop-up food stall\n* Music 2PM – 5PM\n* Shuttle bus from Bendigo & Heathcote TBD
