Frankston blues man Geoff Achison has returned with Another Mile, Another Minute, his first studio album in almost a decade. Recorded in Melbourne with co-producers Rob and Ben Harwood, this project features Achison with his band The Souldiggers - Gerry Pantazis on drums and Little River Band ex-members Roger McLachlan on bass and Mal Logan on keyboards - and with help from some heavy-hitting musical friends, including Chris Wilson, Lloyd Spiegel, Shannon Bourne, Susie Ahern and Steve Romig.

Imagine being able to channel creative inspirations into captivating works of art and to transform your internal rhythmic emotive pulses into melody, thus creating liquid landscapes in the form of distinctive songs. Visual artist and multi instrumentalist, Michelangelo Russo can and does so brilliantly. I first met Russo last year whilst interviewing Hugo Race of The True Spirit band. I was charmed by the mischievous glint in Russo’s eyes, casual rock star glamour and delightful Italian accent.

Dominic Barbuto runs the Melbourne Chapter of The Debonairs. It's a music/entertainment industry event held monthly. Originally it was started by musician Brian Cad. I'm a debonair myself and there is a saying amongst the Debonairs, 'What happens at the Debs, stays at the Debs'.

Hugo Race is an ex member of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. Now he tours the world in his own band, The True Spirit. His exceptional music prowess is dazzling.

The Caravan Music Club in Oakleigh recently played host to US seven-piece Pokey LaFarge along with his support act, Luke Wilson King. LaFarge did a run of East Coast gigs which saw his ragtime, string band jazz, western swing, old country blues, and various other subgenres of American folk and roots music packing out venues everywhere he went.

I have reviewed Byron Bay Bluesfest several times for numerous magazines. I enjoy doing impromptu interviews with famous bands. This one features a couple of band members from War. You might remember them as Eric Burdon and War.

It lured him in and to his surprise discovered Troy Wilson playing in and running his regular Saturday blues workshop. Impressed with what he heard, they instantly hit it off and realizing they had the same love of 20s and 30s along with 50s Chicago blues music, they decided to get together and perform. Their very first band was calle

I was invited to Geoff Achison and The Soul Diggers 20th Anniversary DVD/CD Launch Party at The GH in ST.Kilda recently and was blown away by their sheer genius and musical bent on all originals performed. Achison writes all their material and is main vocals and guitar virtuoso, with Mal Logan on Keys, Roger McLachlan on bass, and Gerry Pantazis on drums. These outstanding muso’s astounded punters as they performed Achison’s creative trademark of eclectic blend of funk, blues, rock, jazz with sn

If you’ve ever caught yourself changing the words of an innocent song into a bawdy ballad, then you can be assured that comedian songster; Kevin Bloody Wilson has had an effect on you at some stage in your life.  When his debut album Your average Australian Yobbo was released in 1984, Wilson never imagined that 30 years onwards his popularity would be so prevalent that he’d be releasing his 18th album entitled Wrong Wrong Wrong, while touring the world including Australia.
