Three of today’s leading blues players, Eugene 'Hideaway' Bridges (USA), Ray Beadle (Australia) and Matt Andersen (Canada) take to the road today for a whirlwind tour of Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide as part of The Blues Caravan.
Created as a channel to introduce new international and domestic Blues artists to the Australian marketplace alongside established names, The Blues Caravan aims to ensure quality Blues music is regularly delivered to fans. This, the first in The Blues Caravan series, will feature individual sets from each artist with a finale of Eugene, Ray and Matt on stage together.
Eugene 'Hideaway' Bridges is a nomadic musician who lives life on the road, his home is wherever the next performance takes him and once he arrives, whips up a storm thanks to his distinctive Southern sound. His new album "Rock And A Hard Place" features horns,keyboards, Hammond B3, piano and wurlitzer; pedal steel; bass guitar; drums; alto, tenor, baritone saxophones and flute; trumpet and trombone. Blues, Soul, Jump, Funk, Gospel, Rock and Beach music make this latest release an textured journey via all the musical influences that have made Eugene the seasoned and versatile performer music fans are privileged to witness today.
Thirty year old Matt Andersen is no stranger to the blues. His latest album, Coal Mining Blues, was produced by Colin Linden (who co-wrote and plays on several tunes) and recorded at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, New York. Featuring the Band keyboardist Garth Hudson and Olabelle singer Amy Helm.
After more than ten years in the business, Ray Beadle is still regarded as young for his considerable talent. Amrecian great Chris Cain says of Beadle,"Ray is unquestionably one of the finest musicians I have come across ...His songwriting has a harmonic and emotional depth that many strive for but few capture. Ray's guitar work...well, lets just say this cat is VERY dangerous."
These shows are not to be missed!
