SUMMARY:The Bean Project + Georgie Currie at The Old Church on the Hill
DESCRIPTION:Melbourne’s award winning brass-clad quintet The Bean Project are touring the country in support of ‘Naked Trees’ throughout 2018\, and the album is available on all digital platforms and via their website.\nFrom the eastern suburbs of Melbourne\, Australia come The Bean Project\, a vibrant brass-folk quintet blending the raw sounds of folk\, jazz and singer-songwriter – most aptly described as ‘the odd marriage of James Taylor and The Cat Empire’.\nIn 2014 The Bean Project emerged as a duo\, making a name for themselves playing locally\, touring the east coast\, then releasing their debut EP in 2015. The Bean Project were named the Folk Alliance of Australia’s 2016 Artist of the Year and grew into a five-piece band\, touring nationally and performing at festivals including Port Fairy Folk Festival\, The National Folk Festival and Folk Alliance International (USA).\nIn June 2017\, The Bean Project teamed up with David Carr at Rangemaster Studios to record their debut album ‘Naked Trees.’ Like a good whisky\,  ‘Naked Trees’ is strong\, woody and rich\, makes you think about your life and gives you a bubbling desire to dance. Swaying from enthusiastic groovy numbers such as ‘Gaps’ to tear-jerking singer-songwriter ballads such as ‘Never Been More Alone\,’ the album is a diverse collection of 10 songs inspired by jazz\, funk\, country and pop\, played by an equally as diverse cast of musicians from varying musical sensibilities. \nIt’s exciting to have The Bean Project back in Bendigo after they made a lot of fans at last year’s Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival – it’s extra exciting to have Georgie Currie (of The Northern Folk) as the chief support on this show with an opening set to be performed by Pat Ward. \nDoors open at 7pm for a 7:30pm start and the door charge is only $15. Don’t be late! \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\, under 12s free and\, although drinks are available for sale\, the focus is on THE MUSIC.  If your conversation is more important to you than other people’s enjoyment of the artists’ performance\, please take it outside.\nProceeds from drink sales go to supporting the Old Church crew and their many worthy initiatives. Sound production is provided by R&J DJ & Entertainment and the door takings are able to be shared between the performers with thanks to our valued sponsors picking up the costs that would normally come out of the door.\nWe look forward to your company for an intimate concert experience like you’ve likely never experienced before.

SUMMARY:The Blues Tram w/Emilee South + Jarrod Shaw
DESCRIPTION:We’re hosting two fan favourites on our April Blues Tram\, Emilee South and Jarrod Shaw! \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: \nEmilee South:\nWith powerful vocals and fierce guitar playing\, Emilee South hollers throwback rock’n’roll\, with hints of voodoo\, unrequited love\, and small-town guilt.\nFollowing her first release\, ‘Aloha\, Au Revoir’\, Emilee has been touring as a two-piece\, with baritone-slinging Matt Dixon.\nThe pair have been making interstate debuts with shows & festivals in Sydney\, Adelaide and Perth\, as well as playing support to the likes of Ruby Boots\, WILSN\, Skyscraper Stan & The Commission Flats\, and James Kenyon.\nBack in Melbourne\, they were straight in to the studio to record Emilee’s sophomore EP\, ‘MOTEL’.\nRecorded live over two days at The Aviary Recording Studio\, ‘MOTEL’ features Matt Dixon on Baritone Guitar\, Josh Barber on Drums and Ben Franz on Double Bass.\nProducing a sound much darker\, a little dirtier and a lot more rock’n’roll than her debut.\nWith a slew of special guest vocalists\, such as Al Parkinson\, Broads and Skyscraper Stan\, the songs lay comfortably on a bed of velvet backing vocals.\nFollowing the release of the feverish first single\, ‘Howl’\, ‘MOTEL’ was released with a bang through Fever Shake Records in May 2017. \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 April 14th\nBlues Tram\, feat: Emilee South + Jarrod Shaw\nDeparting Central Deborah Goldmine (76 Violet Street) at 2pm\, returning 4:15pm.\nTix: $35 from Bendigo Visitor Centre 1800 813 513 or 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 behaviour will not be tolerated. Event management reserves the right to refuse admission or evict patrons if requests to manage behaviour are not complied with; in this unlikely event\, tickets of offenders will be forfeited and no refund will be available.
