Two phenomenal artists will ride the rails on the Friday night of Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival 2018: The King of Australian Blues, Mr Geoff Achison makes his long awaited return, while Canada’s Tennyson Kingmakes his Blues Tram debut.
Enjoy the sights of Bendigo’s architecturally stunning CBD from on board the sensationally restored vintage W Class tram, while being serenaded by two great acts:
Geoff Achison:
Geoff is an award winning blues-roots artist from Australia known for his energetic live performances and unique guitar mastery. Geoff began his apprenticeship with legendary Australian bluesman ‘Dutch’ Tilders establishing himself as a fine lead guitarist before striking out with his own. He released his debut album in the early 90s and began touring throughout the USA, UK & Europe. Geoff has since established himself as a bona fide legend of Australian Blues music and a well-respected songwriter and performer on the world scene.
Tennyson King:
Tennyson is a international touring act from Canada having performed with notable Canadian acts such as Whitehorse, Sloan, Elliot Broode, and Blackie and The Rodeo Kings. In 2017 Tennyson King embarked on his first Australian Tour playing over 100 shows – highlights include performances at Yackandandah Folk Festival, MONA and Burke & Wills Festival and performances with Paul Dempsey, Paul Woseen (Screaming Jets), Yirrmal, and Brad Marr (MASSIVE). After a short tour in Europe to kick off 2018, he is hibernating in Canada to record his next album set for a July 2018 release, followed by a release tour in Canada, China and Australia. His style of rock and roll is infused with earthy roots and blues while subtly laced in psychedelic ear candy. It’s a raw, gritty, and organic sound that makes the soul feel wild and the heart comforted.
