Two great young musical acts – one a rising star on the Australian Blues scene and the other a pair of promising singer/songwriters with an uncanny craft for harmonising together and reinventing and reinvigorating old songs.
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:
Charlie Bedford:
Charlie Bedford is a 17-year-old blues guitarist & vocalist from Melbourne. Charlie performed at the “International Blues Challenge – Youth Showcase” in Memphis 2017 and 2018 representing the Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society!
He has played with & been mentored by some of the biggest names in Australian Blues such as, Geoff Achison, Sweet Felicia, Jimi Hocking, Andrea Marr, Russell Morris & Lloyd Spiegel to name a few. Charlie is a fresh act on the festival scene, representing the next generation – keeping the blues alive! He’ll get your feet tapping & leave a smile on your face!
Walkers Road:
Jarrod Shaw and Sarah Wilkinson perform a blend of country, folk and roots music that showcases their unique guitar styles and superb harmonies. The combination of Jarrod’s blues heavy approach with Sarah’s folk and country style makes for a diverse and captivating show.
Their first collaboration was at the Carols At Hanging Rock event in 2012, where they were asked to perform as a duo. They have since have been performing together at festivals and venues across Victoria, dropping jaws and melting hearts along the way.
