Notes: The Blues Preachers began their traditional Delta/country blues journey in the early 1990s. A highlight of the project was their performance at the Byron Bay Blues Festival in 1993, which was featured on ABC TVs Blue Moon Over Byron.
The Blues Preachers will take you to another place & time, somewhere between 1920 & 1940. Their music paints a landscape of pre-war struggle & determination with sounds reminiscent of the Deep South.
The Blues Preachers perform blues, rags, gospel & hillbilly folk music. The powerful simplicity of driving finger style guitar, slide guitar & harmonica combined with old school vocal harmonies create a traditional un-tarnished sound that will have you on the edge of your seats.
The Blues Preachers will make you dance with their joyful country and ragtime blues and send a shiver up your spine with their atmospheric feels which echo & pay homage to the sacred sounds of early artists such as Blind Willie Johnson.
The Preachers are: Brother John on guitar, banjo and vocals, and Captain Bluetongue on harmonica, mountain dulcimer and vocals.
