The Raconteurs

Sheryl Crow has used the full force of her telephone contacts to bring in some of the biggest and most legendary names for her new album Threads. She has unveiled rehearsal footage of her new song ‘Live Wire’ with Bonnie Raitt and Mavis Staples.

Vanessa Amorosi has just finished up touring for Duane McDonald’s Red Hot Summer and had the time of her life being back in Australia and on the road with people she considers her music family.

Ben Harper has won his first Blues Music Award while Billy Gibbons is also a winner for his solo album 'The Big Bad Blues'.

For decades we’ve heard the incredible voice of Lisa Fischer behind Tina Turner, Sting and mostly the Rolling Stones. The Melbourne International Jazz Festival as enticed this remarkable singer to showcase her voice solo during this year’s festival.

Promoter David Roy Williams, who toured Albert Lee in Australia in 2018, will bring him back for 2019 with the legendary Peter Asher.

Blues/Rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa will return to Australia in September and he will have Anton Fig, Reese Wynans and Mahalia Barnes in the band.

The very fact that an artist now in his 70s can perform a show of mainly new songs and still hold an audience from start to finish is a testament to their talent. Russell Morris did just that at his show at Melbourne’s landmark venue The Espy in St Kilda this week.
