About this concert
Folk Blues Holler-
-A Night of Acoustic Folk and Blues Guitar-
Dom Turner
Genevieve Chadwick
Shane Pacey
The term ‘Folk Blues’ appeared in the 1950s and 1960s when traditional folk music artists, and blues musicians began playing on the same stages as part of the folk music revival.
Genevieve Chadwick, Shane Pacey and Dom Turner will present a selection of traditional folk and blues songs as well as originals, in solo mode, and together as part of a classic folk-festival style ‘Round Robin’.
Dom Turner Voted Sydney Blues Society Traditional Blues Artist of the Year in 2022.
Dom is best known as guitarist/ vocalist, founding member of the multi-awarded Australian blues group, Backsliders, as well as for collaborative work with US artists such as RL Boyce, Nikki Brown and Phil Wiggins.
Genevieve Chadwick is a regular on the music festival circuit, known for her powerful, soulful voice and spirit-lifting, kinetic guitar-work. Genevieve writes with directness of intent playing unadulterated roots rock with blues and Americana influences, with albums that are songbooks that shift between big dynamic showstoppers and intimate, stirring balladry.
Shane Pacey, is best known as an original member of blues acts, The Bondi Cigars and The Shane Pacey Trio. However, Shane also has a little-known deep love of British and Irish folk music forms and is highly skilled in the fingerpicking guitar styles of that region. Shane will present his versions of a number of songs in the folk and blues tradition.
