Double Shot of Raw Blues 
With Cal Williams Jr & Billy The Tree


Well, that’s just what it is! Multi-award winning Blues singer/songwriter, Cal Williams Jr, combines the gentle fingerpicking of British Folk with the raw intensity of Delta Slide Blues to create a sound that is both intricate and powerful. Blues Blast Magazine, USA, said “Cal Williams Jr’s guitar work is impeccable under his gorgeous voice. A marvellous quilt of tones and textures from this masterful player.” 

Adelaide roots & blues singer, harpist, songwriter, guitarist Billy The Tree is featuring songs from his debut album ‘Last of the Singing Peace Chiefs’ as well as his upcoming second album, ‘Billy The Tree Presents Billy The Blue’, a stripped back, acoustic fingerpicking guitar driven set of original blues. Billy performs music which is vital, full of power and excitement.

The New Savages is a Melbourne Band currently on an Australian tour. They play a Mississippi Hill Country Blues sound which is distinctly Melbournian. It’s often described as a uniquely dark mix of Jim Morrison singing at a hoe down Juke Joint. The New Savages’ songs are at their foundation. Milan’s primitive guitar style & deep baritone voice combines with Nathan’s relentless swinging drums to provide a unique entertainment experience.
