COLLARD, GREENS & GRAVY Collard, Greens & Gravy formed in Melbourne in 1995 by Ian Collard, perform original and blues standards in the style of classic country and swamp blues much reminiscent of RL Burnside, and Blind Willie Johnson. The band, have twice represented Australia in the international blues challenge in Memphis Tennesee, their most recent appearance being in February of last year. Collard Greens & Gravy are very Brunswick, very edgy, jagged, original and authentic in equal measures. In 2008 they won the VicTas blues awards for best band and their brilliant CD Devil in the Woodpile was easily the best Australian blues release of the year. View Collard, Greens & Gravy Website HAT FITZ and CARA ROBINSON To open this big country blues show, and their first appearance at the festival, we're delighted to present one of Australia's festival perennial showstoppers Hat Fitz in duo mode with Northern Ireland vocalist and multi instrumentalist, Cara Robinson on drums, washboard and flute. The blending of pre war hill country and delta blues with other traditional folk influences has produced a truly unique musical style that took the Fitz through a phenomenal overseas touring schedule in 2009 of 81 shows across England, Ireland, Scotland and France. Sometimes referred to as "Queensland blues with a twist" you'll soon appreciate what all the fuss is about. It's raw, raucous and relevant. View Hat Fitz Website Check out one of our other concerts:
