Interview by Bob Gordon

What’s the best thing about playing festivals?

Human electricity!

Do you have a Blues at Bridgetown experience that you’d like to share, either performing or as an audience member?

Last time I played, Frank Sultana did a set after ours. His flight was delayed from Sydney making it a 12-hour transit marathon, he arrived backstage just before his set and he pulled off a killer show without a whisper of tiredness. Absolute weapon!

Where do you feel you fit in musically along the blues and roots scale?

It’s farkin’ rock’n’roll Bob!

What have been the highlights of your music career thus far?

Himalayan Blues Festival in Nepal, twice. Multiple USA tours. These days I’m just stoked my kids enjoy a song before bed. They rock.

What have you been mainly focussing on in 2026 and how is it coming along?

The new album, it’s epic!

What are your plans and hopes for 2027?

Touring the new album!

What can folks expect from your performances at Blues at Bridgetown?

Rock’n’roll the way it’s meant to be done!

A festival where everyone belongs.

Acknowledgement of Country

In the spirit of reconciliation the Blues at Bridgetown organisation acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

Accessibility & inclusion

Blues at Bridgetown is committed to creating a welcoming, safe, and inclusive festival experience for all attendees, artists, volunteers, staff, and community members.

We celebrate diversity and strive to ensure that everyone can participate in and enjoy the festival regardless of age, ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, cultural background, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status, or personal circumstances.

We are dedicated to improving accessibility across our festival sites and events. We work to identify and reduce barriers to participation wherever possible and welcome feedback from patrons and community members to help us continually improve our accessibility and inclusion practices.

We expect all festival participants to treat one another with respect, dignity, and consideration. Discrimination, harassment, bullying, or any form of exclusionary behaviour will not be tolerated.

Blues at Bridgetown recognises the importance of creating spaces where people feel valued, represented, and able to engage fully in the festival experience. We encourage anyone with specific access requirements to contact us in advance so that we can work together to support their participation wherever reasonably possible.

As a community-focused event, we acknowledge that inclusion is an ongoing journey. We are committed to listening, learning, and collaborating with our audience, artists, volunteers, partners, and local community to ensure Blues at Bridgetown remains a festival where everyone belongs.
