SUMMARY:Hailey Calvert (QLD) & Grim Fawkner
DESCRIPTION:Hailey is heading to Bendigo to play on a Blues Tram\, so we have jumped at the opportunity to host her and Grim Fawkner for a Sunday afternoon of live music at The Shiraz Republic. \nFree entry. Lunch from 12pm. Music 2PM-5PM. \n— \nHailey Calvert \nIts her warm and breathtaking blues voice together with impressive guitar skills and relatable stage presence\, as well as achingly honest song writing that makes each audience member feel like they are the only people in the room to hear Hailey Calvert’s stories. \nIt’s the same song writing style that saw Hailey take out the blues category in the 2015 International Songwriting Competition. With over 18\,000 entries from 20 countries\, it was a huge deal to be a winner alongside fellow Australians in other categories including Meg Mac and Birds of Tokyo. Two EP’s\, one album and countless charismatic live shows into her career\, Hailey Calvert is an independent performer showing no signs of slowing down. \nThe small Western Australian town she grew up in is a far cry from the places Hailey’s music has taken her. From tours in Australia supporting Stu Larsen\, to performing all over Ireland\, London and New York\, a highlight was a show at the famous NYC venue The Bitter End\, a place that has hosted performances from the likes of Ray Charles\, Stevie Wonder and Joni Mitchell among many others. Hailey has also graced the stages of many of Australia’s favourite festivals including Woodford Folk Festival (three times)\, Queenscliff Music Festival\, Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival (four times) and Palm Creek Folk Festival (twice). \nInspired by the thoughts and worries she was waking up with at 3am\, Hailey Calvert’s 2016 fourth CD release ‘In the Hour of the Wolf’ is a cinematic sounding affair and Hailey’s most grown up songs to date. She stretches her legs in her new album with producer Brett Shaw playing around in genres making the album a darker\, grander affair than her previous releases.  With the album earning rave reviews\, Hailey is an independent performer making a lasting impression. \nIt always comes back to that voice; a breathtaking cross between Eva Cassidy and devilish deep blues. Hailey has the element of surprise as it’s never the voice people think will come out of her. \n— \nGrim Fawkner \nA regular at The Shiraz Republic\, Rambling man\, Grim Fawkner\, is no stranger to stages and streets across the globe and at home. The epitome of the itinerant musician\, he draws together tales and musings from his travels and is as likely to deliver them in soft ballad form as he is face-meltingly intricate and upbeat roots/country/blues. \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

SUMMARY:Rory Phillips (NSW) plays Handle Bar
DESCRIPTION:Magnificent young guitarist and blues phenom Rory Phillips made a huge impression when he played Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival for the first time in 2019. He returns to Bendigo to play three shows in the one weekend\, including this one on Friday 28 February at Handle Bar (aka: Bendigo’s Backyard). \nMusic from 6pm – free entry! \nMore about Rory Phillips:\nWith a deep love of music flowing through his veins\, Rory Phillips is not your average 13-year-old. Even his musical influences don’t fit the mould of a usual teenager & after flicking through his eclectic playlist\, you could be forgiven for mistaking him as a child of the seventies. In fact\, most who meet him describe him as an “old soul”\, a badge he wears with pride.\nHaving first stepped onto a stage at age seven\, Rory has already achieved more than most & has his sights set high for the future. A gifted musician\, Rory is most comfortable with a guitar in his hands but also loves the microphone! Musically\, he sits anywhere in the realm of blues/Americana/alt-country & aside from his dynamic playing\, most say it is his confidence & stage presence which sets him apart from his peers. Bill Chambers has described Rory as “always displaying a professional enthusiasm way beyond his years\, and definitely has a way with an audience” & is just one of a long list of industry heavyweights to have invited Rory to share the stage with him.\nSnapshot Bio: Rory Phillips is a young man with a huge stage presence\, who will leave his audience impressed with his guitar skills & in love with his personality! At 13\, Rory has already achieved more than most and musically\, sits anywhere in the realm of blues/Americana/alt-country. Sets will include originals\, but also a mix of the classics he loves. \nLINKS\nWebsite: https://www.roryphillips.com.au/\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/RoryPhillipsAU/\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rorybphillipsmusic/

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. 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:CANCELLED Tony J King plays Rocks Underground
DESCRIPTION:**Due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions this event has been cancelled** \nOld school blues and original ‘murder ballads’ from legendary Tony J King will feature in the April edition of our “Dinner & Blues” sessions for 2020. Settle in to Rocks Underground\, with accomplished blues musicians providing the soundtrack to an exceptional culinary experience.\n(Updated menu info to be provided soon – watch this space!) \nNot dining? That’s OK\, pop in and enjoy a funky beverage while listening to some funky tunes. \nMore about our featured artist:\n“Having grown up in the tough\, migrant\, working-class northern suburbs of South Australia in the sixties and seventies\, King was exposed to the musical tastes of other British migrants – names such as Muddy Waters\, Bob Dylan\, Howling Wolf\, Leadbelly and Robert Johnson. He later earned a living as a truck driver\, storeman\, labourer\, salesman and teacher and has drawn upon this myriad of experiences as fodder for his song-writing.\nWith a few stories\, an old guitar and kick drum\, Tony J King creates a ramshackle music that has its roots in the street-corner blues and folk of yesteryear. Slow-burnin’\, low-fi urban myths\, murder ballads\, half-truths\, dark gospel and random fascinations are represented in quirky musical tales honed from a pre-occupation with the unusual\, the exotic and the downright bizarre.”

Recognized as a multi-talented tunesmith (signed as ‘House Writer’ and artist to the legendary J Albert and Son Publishing\, home of ACDC\, Rose Tattoo\, Easybeats since 1994.)

His initiation into the world of music began in Geelong supporting Australia’s finest touring bands (AC/DC\, Ayres Rock\, Little River Band\, Buffalo\, Cold Chisel\, Dragon\, to name but a few). Since then he has played thousands of gigs all over Australia\, including opening for blues greats Robert Cray\, Albert Collins\, Canned Heat\, BB King\, Chris Cain\, and Buddy Guy. \nWalkers Road:\nJarrod Shaw and Sarah Wilkinson perform a blend of country\, folk and roots music that showcases their unique guitar styles and superb harmonies. The combination of Jarrod’s blues heavy approach with Sarah’s folk and country style makes for a diverse and captivating show.\nTheir first collaboration was at the Carols At Hanging Rock event in 2012\, where they were asked to perform as a duo.

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.
