SUMMARY:The Northern Folk live@The Old Church on the Hill w/supports
DESCRIPTION:We’re extremely excited to welcome The Northern Folk back to The Old Church on the Hilll\, Fri 28 April 2017. The Northern Folk were a stand-out act at last year’s Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival\, making a mountain of new fans and deservedly so.\nWith support sets from Sherri Parry and Deer Prudence\, this will be a truly special night on the tunes! \nAbout our artists: \nThe Northern Folk are an 11-piece indie-folk outfit riding a wave of momentum from the release of their self-titled debut LP in 2015. Hailing from Albury\, this collection of like-minded pals have been hitting the Australian highways to spread their sound. Full of energy and perfect for boppers and tail-waggers alike\, The Northern Folk top warm harmonies with big horn sections off with groovy bass lines\, and will be sure to have you foot-stomping and humming away. \nSherri Parry – Sherri is an 18 year old local Bendigo artist who’s been writing and performing her songs at a level well beyond her years. Her youthful dynamic stage presence\, soothing voice and guitar work showcase her passion for song writing and music. Lyrics formed from life experiences and melodies strung together with spirit give her music its own distinct style.  \nDeer Prudence – Deer Prudence are an acoustic duo\, comprised of close friends\, Mariah McCarthy and Georgia Delves. The duo elegantly uses the seemingly effortless harmonies intertwined with their own style of Americana/ folk/pop song writing.\nSince forming from the humble beginnings of their high school music class\, Deer Prudence are no stranger to the stage\, performing at the Spring Fling Festival 2014\, Brunswick Music Festival 2015\, Anglesea Festival 2016 and Wintermoon Festival 2016\, Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival and have launched their debut CD in February 2017 to overwhelmingly positive aclaim.  \nThe Old Church on the Hill is located on the corner of Harkness and Russell Streets\, Quarry Hill\, Bendigo.\nThe Singer/Songwriter Showcase events\, staged at the Old Church by the Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival crew on a semi-regular basis\, are an opportunity to enjoy a House Concert vibe in a public venue.  The door charge is generally $15 for adults ($10 concession) and\, although refreshments are available for sale\, the focus is on THE MUSIC.  Proceeds from drink sales go to supporting Bendigo Sustainability Group – BSG and also support our Festival to keep presenting these magnificent musicians for your listening pleasure. Sound production is supplemented at the Old Church on the Hill by our friends at Muso’s Stuff and 100% of the door takings are able to be shared between the performers with thanks to our valued sponsors at Kensey Care (www.kenseycare.com.au).

Two EP’s\, one album and countless charismatic live shows into her career\, Hailey is an unforgettable performer showing no signs of slowing down. \nGraciana Holland:\nGrowing up in the Folk musical family\, The Hollands! and touring on the road full time for all of her adolescence\, Graciana Holland was given the opportunity to explore and experience new cultures\, traditions and music\, all of which has influenced her songwriting process. Graciana has traveled extensively through out the USA\, Canada\, Southeast Asia and Australia performing and honing her gifts and talents as a musician. She plays guitar\, ukulele\, and piano and works with electronic beats but her voice is the stand out. With a delicate and pure delivery\, Graciana’s sound keeps listeners on the edge of their seats wanting to hear more. \nThe Old Church on the Hill is located on the corner of Harkness and Russell Streets\, Quarry Hill\, Bendigo.\nThe Singer/Songwriter Showcase events\, staged there by the BB&RMF crew on a semi-regular basis\, are an opportunity to enjoy a House Concert vibe in a public venue.

SUMMARY:Chris Jagger (UK) live at Handle Bar\, Bendigo
DESCRIPTION:This is a special gig indeed\, in a very special space\, as Chris Jagger (UK)\, flying in for a whirlwind tour\, will play Handle Bar for an intimate crowd on Friday evening\, 24 March 2017! \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’. \nFriday March 24th\n6pm – FREE ENTRY\nLive at the Handle Bar – 73 Mitchell Street\, enter through Get Naked Espresso Bar.

SUMMARY:Archer live@The Old Church on the Hill w/Graciana Holland
DESCRIPTION:After missing out on having Archer play at Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival in 2016\, we’re chuffed to welcome him to The Old Church on the Hill for an intimate concert on Fri 17 March 2017.\nWith a support set from Graciana Holland\, this will be a truly special night on the tunes! \nAbout our artists: \nIn the 21st century\, Archer is a true rarity. His weathered blues are his stories—harvested from the raw distance that passes under his heels.\nArcher’s songs follow the seams of Australia’s valleys and mountain ranges\, songs driven by a restless and pure geography. A craft honed under the open sky—from Murray River picking crews to the remote northern reaches of the Australian continent.  \nGraciana Holland\nGrowing up with The Hollands! and touring full time\, Graciana was given the opportunity to explore new cultures and traditions\, traveling throughout the USA\, Canada\, SE Asia and Australia. She is an accomplished songwriter and composer with work appearing on The Hollands! albums and her own single\, Caged Bird\, released in 2015. She plays guitar\, ukulele\, and piano but her voice is the stand out. With a delicate delivery\, Graciana keeps listeners on the edge of their seats wanting to hear more.  \nThe Old Church on the Hill is located on the corner of Harkness and Russell Streets\, Quarry Hill\, Bendigo.\nThe Singer/Songwriter Showcase events\, staged at the Old Church by the BB&RMF crew on a semi-regular basis\, are an opportunity to enjoy a House Concert vibe in a public venue.  The door charge is generally $15 for adults ($10 concession) and\, although refreshments are available for sale\, the focus is on THE MUSIC.  Proceeds from drink sales go to supporting Bendigo Sustainability Group – BSG and also support our Festival to keep presenting these magnificent musicians for your listening pleasure. Sound production is supplemented at the Old Church on the Hill by our friends at Muso’s Stuff and 100% of the door takings are able to be shared between the performers with thanks to our valued sponsors at Kensey Care (www.kenseycare.com.au).
