Charlie Musselwhite (USA) at The Zeppelin Room

Overview

Grammy-Award winning Charlie Musselwhite will be bringing his excellent touring band from the US with him for this tour - Kid Andersen on guitar, June Core on drums and Randy Bermudes on bass.

With nearly six decades of rich musical history behind him, including numerous albums, countless live performances, multiple awards and accolades, there are very few artists of the stature of Charlie Musselwhite. As Rolling Stone Magazine stated “Superb, original and compelling…Charlie Musselwhite, with unabashed excellence, sets the standard for blues.”

Charlie’s journey through the blues was from his birth in Mississippi to Memphis, Chicago and California. Arriving in Chicago in the early sixties, he was just in time for the epochal blues revival. In 1966 at the age of 22 he recorded the landmark Stand Back! to rave reviews. A precipitous relocation to San Francisco in 1967, where his album was being played on underground radio, found him welcomed into the counterculture scene around the Fillmore West as an authentic purveyor of the real deal blues.

Charlie cut his (musical) teeth alongside Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf and everyone on the South side of Chicago in the early 1960’s.

Special Guest Support - Fiona Boyes. Winner of the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, USA, she is also a Blues Blast Music Award winner and former Port Fairy Folk Festival Artist of the Year.
