Take a trip through the history of Blues music, with Mississippi Bluesman Terry ‘Harmonica’ Bean.
Assisting along the way will be some of Melbourne’s finest blues players: Jules Boult & The Redeembers, along with the incredibly talented vocal stylings of IsIseula Hingano.
Setting the mood for the show will be one of Australia’s most authentic and exciting blues bandsThree Kings. This is a marquee show, not to be missed!
TERRY ‘HARMONICA’ BEAN is an American blues harmonica virtuoso, guitarist and songwriter. He has released seven albums since 2001, and appeared in three film documentaries charting present day blues experiences.Terry Bean has dedicated himself to promoting older blues stylings, such as Delta and Hill Country Blues. “What’s stimulating to me,” he said, “is people hearing the blues played like they used to hear it.” Terry’s performances are steeped in history whilst being as raucously entertaining as a late night “juke joint”.
JULES BOULT is an award winning singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and international recording artist. A universally admired blues and jazz entertainer – his music remains true to the blues tradition – and his effortless demeanour, humour and performance style has been closely linked with that of the genre’s legendary predecessors.
ISEULA HINGANO stands as a sublimely gifted blues, soul and gospel singer possessing a style imbued with deep musicality and bare-faced allure. Her stellar career as a performer and songwriter includes performances at Australia’s biggest blues music festivals and industry events, a chart topping album on The Australian Blues & Roots charts, as well as a swag of highly coveted awards.
THREE KINGS officially formed in 2011 by Ian Collard (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Benny Peters (vocals and guitar), and Jason Liu Soon (drums), Three Kings’ self titled debut album took out the award for best blues CD in The Age Victorian music awards only a fortnight after release. The album entered the Australian Blues and Roots Airplay Chart at number two before shooting up to first place.
Three Kings’ hard-hitting, greasy blues style takes you on a dangerous joy ride through the back roads and juke joints of American music history, combining the sounds of artists like Kid Thomas, John Lee Hooker, Slim Harpo and Jerry McCain with their own original spin.”
