Enjoy the sights of Bendigo’s architecturally stunning CBD from on board the sensationally restored vintage Class tram #610, while being serenaded by two great acts.
Bringing to the stage a combination of Blues and Jazz marrying an array of ambient guitar riffs and skillful use of a loop pedal; Georgia Rodgers is a new and upcoming artist you won’t want to miss. Georgia is not only well known for her incredible guitar skills but also her voice and the journey she takes listeners on within her own compositions. This young musician takes the spotlight and captivates audiences through her ability to sing with raw emotion, joined with her iconic Telecaster Georgia’s voice and her musicality act as partners in crime, inviting all listeners to be a part of the beautiful love affair. Through years of mastering a set of originals and covers, she is able to cater for a diverse range of audiences and venues. As a whole, Georgia creates an experience to share, not just an outstanding performance.
Let Alawishus, T-Bone & Cleitus take you folks all the way back to the year o’nineteen and thirty. They’ll likely tell you stories about the old times and sing you some authentic rural blues, rag tunes & maybe even some old time spirituals.
What can we expect from AJ&theOLs? Old blues; Maybe some pre-blues stuff that contains elements essential to the birth of blues like work songs, field hollers & ragged time; Mostly what you can expect though is three fellas having a lot of fun; Guitar, drums, washboard, bull-fiddle, harmonica & ukulele; Stories and anecdotes that could have historical significance or might just be outright lies!
