SUMMARY:The Blues Tram w/Marisa Quigley + Don Morrison
DESCRIPTION:Two contrasting styles from two well-traveled and well credentialed acts – Marisa Quigley (Beechworth\, VIC) and Don Morrison (Adelaide\, SA). \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: \nMarisa Quigley:\nMarisa is an award-winning Australian blues/roots singer and songwriter\, solo artist\, and cabaret performer. With her charismatic stage presence and powerhouse delivery\, the husky-voiced chanteuse has drawn comparisons with Janis Joplin and Bonnie Raitt. Absolutely at home on the stage\, with her irreverent wit and deft lyrics\, Marisa has audiences in stitches one minute\, and moved to tears the next.\nHer songwriting influences are as diverse as Tom Waits and The Eagles\, and her songs span the gamut from haunting to heartfelt to hilarious. With an eclectic blend of blues/roots and alt-country/folk\, a wink and a nudge\, a tickle and a poke\, her act is soulful\, fun\, endearing—and highly entertaining. \nDon Morrison:\n“South Australian resonator specialist\, guitar-maker and raconteur Don Morrison returns with a self-titled solo album of bluesy R&B rich with Morrison’s trademark colour and humour. The way Morrison enjoys mixing slapstick with social and political commentary\, it wouldn’t be surprising to discover that Ry Cooder is high up his list of musical heroes. The Australian Ry Cooder? Who wouldn’t want that tag? Certainly Don has a deft touch on the slide guitar.\nUnashamedly regional\, Morrison sings about the places\, people and plights of his immediate environment\, talking about Adelaide and the Nullarbor and enjoying applying his wit to working man’s concerns like fishing (‘Fishing’) and the mining boom (‘Mining Boom’).” – Martin Jones\, Rhythms \nSaturday February 9th\nBlues Tram\, feat: Marisa Quigley + Don Morrison\nDeparting Central Deborah Goldmine (76 Violet Street) at 2pm\, returning 4:15pm.\nTix: $35 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:Blues & Roots Summer Showcase/Fundraiser at The Rifle
DESCRIPTION:After 2018 gave us the most successful and exciting Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival to date\, this year’s supporting events will again be limited in number but packed with more fresh talent and brilliant music\, at some of our favorite local venues – starting with our Summer Showcase/Fundraiser event at The Rifle Brigade Hotel on Sunday Feb 17th. \nThe packed list of acts to perform at this Showcase event includes some of Bendigo’s best\, along with some fresh faces from the larger blues\, soul\, jazz\, folk and original music circuits who’ve put their respective hands up to support our not-for-profit community music festival – across two stages\, in the famous Rifle Carpark and the beautiful balcony overlooking Bendigo’s enviable arts precinct. \nAs always\, these artists are donating their time and talents\, as do the Festival’s volunteer committee and crew\, to help kick start the kitty to pay for the Festival itself\, to be held on November 7-10\, 2019. \nTo continue to fund this predominantly free festival\, your support and assistance is needed. So spread the word and bring a posse to the Rifle Brigade Hotel on Feb 17th and help grow the burgeoning music scene we’ve managed to revitalise together over the last few years in Central Victoria. \nOn behalf of our local venues\, local and visiting artists\, and all of us who enjoy a wide range of live music to choose from on a weekly basis\, ‘Thank You’ for your ongoing support of grass-roots music events! \nTickets for the February 17th Showcase event are available at the door on the day and are $20 for adults\, $5 for under-18s (with under-12s free). \nThe live music will start at 11:30am sharp and continue through till 9pm.

SUMMARY:Hat Fitz & Cara@ The Old Church on the Hill
DESCRIPTION:Hat Fitz and Cara can in no way be mistaken for a dainty duo. They are festival favourites throughout Canada\, Australia\, Europe\, and the UK and it has been said they pack more energy into one song than most have in an entire career. \nA unique combination of hill-style Gospel blues with old timey flavourings and stripped down to just voices\, guitar and vintage drums\, Hat Fitz & Cara embellish impeccable rootsy originals with soulful vocals reminiscent of a time once forgotten. \nJoin Fitzy and Cara as they launch their much anticipated 5th studio album around the country this spring. \nhttp://www.hatfitzandcara.com/\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYKznTvi8XQ \nDoors will open at 7pm for a 7:30pm start and the door charge is $25 or get your tickets online to avoid missing out. \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 kept minimal to keep the shows accessible. 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.\nWe look forward to your company for an intimate concert experience like you’ve likely never experienced before.
