This is a double-header of Hill Country Blues duos that’ll turn your head inside out and get your feet stompin’ guaranteed!
White Lightning (Melb) – After many nights of record spinning and whiskey scullin’, Ben Gerrard and Sean McConnell decided there was a lack of raw, sexy, swampy blues in the Melbourne scene. The solution? White Lightnin’. Drawing on influences from traditional American blues players – Mississippi Fred McDowell, R.L Burnside, Hound Dog Taylor – and fermenting that with the modern bite of bands like the Black Keys and the White Stripes, White Lightning brings the blues to the 21st Century like no one else.
Highway 79 – A blues duo that bring the thunder… Rattlin’ Bones Blackwood on 5-string guitar & Colin Thompson on drums. Highway 79 are raw, rumbling, explosive & hypnotic.
Only $5 entry! Bring your best girl, bring your mates, bring some drinkin’ dollars and bring your dancin’ boots. A good time is brewin’.
