Blues powerhouse Eric Gales will return to Australia this November for a full national tour.
Joining Eric is an incredible line up of local artists, they are:
BRISBANE
Dana Gehrman
A local guitar-slinger and singer, Dana Gehrman delivers a vintage sound that evokes rich nostalgia. Taking influence from the halcyon days of the 70’s ‘west coast’ music, Gehrman transports you back to a time of genre-bending experimentalism with her songwriting – blending soul, funk, roots-rock and blues, all with unfaltering vocals.
MLEBOURNE (Memo & Nightcat)
The McnaMarr Project
Respected and experienced Australian Soul and Blues artists, Andrea Marr and John McNamara combined forces to become The McNaMarr Project. Their 2019 debut album, ‘Holla & Moan’ won the Vic/Tas blues awards for Album of The Year and Song of The Year. In 2022 their second album, ‘Run With Me’ hit #1 on Blues and Soul charts in Australia and the US. That same year, Andrea Marr was inducted into the Blues Music Victoria Legends Hall of Fame.
CANBERRA, SYDNEY & ADELAIDE
Karen Lee Andrews
An artist that crosses boundaries and melds influences into an earthy, rich and dynamic sound, Karen Lee Andrews’ music feels like it could come from the Soulful Blues and Gospel-tinged Delta of the Mississippi, from the steamy Country bayous of Tennessee or the Rock highway of blue-collar Philadelphia. Throw in her Polynesian heritage and what fans have discovered is a tapestry of stories that paint pictures that will captivate the spirit and the mind.
FREMANTLE
Dave Brewer Trio
For over three decades guitarist/singer Dave Brewer has been the backbone for many of Australia’s most seminal acts including The Elks, The Dynamic Hepnotics, The Mighty Reapers and The Catholics. Dave has released three critically acclaimed albums and has been busy regularly working with Lucky Oceans, Natalie Gillespie, blues band the DooDaddies, along with his own band the Deluxe Combo.
