BIG BLUES - 3 FANTASTIC BLUES ACTS LIVE & FREE from 5.30pm
- JB Lewis
- Corrina Steel
- The Hipshooters
Palmwoods Got The Blues returns on Sat Jan 16
First call sideman JB Lewis opens the show playing his gutbucket prewar blues. JB’s a regular on the Palmwoods stage playing bass or guitar with Mojo Webb, Pete Cornelius, Geoff Achison and many of the touring acts that come through. He’s also a top notch singer and fans of real blues should be there early for this musician’s musician.
Corrina Steel is primarily known as a country singer but after spending time Mississippi in the last year, Corrina’s third release“Fling With The King” features a darker bluesier sensibility than she’s displayed on her previous albums. Couple that with her RL Burnside inspired slide guitar playing and roadhardened band and the house will be rockin’ for this talented lady and her band.
Since they arrived in Australia from New Zealand, the Hipshooters have been widely acknowledged as Australias premier exponents of the hard edged texas blues immortalized by the late great Stevie Ray Vaughan. A headliner at every festival they play, if there’s been a tighter band to play the Palmwoods stage, its only because frontman and guitar slinger extaordinaire Anton Tipi Elkington spends his working week teaching at home across the ditch. Rest assured though, the Hipshooters will blow the roof of the place just like they did they last time they visited. And the time before that!
