Harts Plays Hendrix in Melbourne

Harts is one of the best guitarists in the country. So it’s only fitting that in May he’ll take on the music of one of the world’s most legendary axemen, the one and only Jimi Hendrix, this May.

Harts Plays Hendrix will see Harts in a three-piece band (naturally) playing songs from Jimi’s entire back catalogue. Expect a few guest appearances by some of the country’s premiere musicians at this very special show.

“I’m very excited to be putting on this special show,” Harts enthused. “Jimi’s music and playing has always been a big inspiration and influence on my own style as an artist and guitarist. It’s going to be a thrill paying tribute to the iconic music legend by performing and really showcasing his work in a show like this. I think Hendrix fans, Harts fans, lovers of classic rock and the guitar are really going to enjoy this show.”

Harts Plays Hendrix hits the Melbourne Recital Centre on May 30. Hopefully it goes so well the show comes to other cities around the country!

Isaiah B Brunt Brings Back Real Blues

With a name like Isaiah B Brunt, it’s not surprising that the Sydneysider is making blues the way it was supposed to be. He’s got this mellow Delta groove in his music that hearkens back to the greats. When he set about recording his debut album Just the Way That it Goes, he knew New Orleans was the only place to be. I haven’t been lucky enough to hear any of the album tracks, but his cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “Hear My Train A Comin’” is pretty magical.

The album drops on March 26, when he’s launch it at Spring Street Social in Bondi Junction. The album launch is set to be a pretty special night with Isiah performing some acoustic songs along with tracks with a full band. Be there or be square!

Aussie Guitar Legends Pay Tribute to Jimi Hendrix

Some of Australia’s leading musicians are coming together to pay tribute to the late, great Jimi Hendrix at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on October 29.

The Experience Jimi Hendrix concert will see the guitar legend’s tunes reinterpreted by Darren Middleton of Powderfinger, Stuart Fraser of Noiseworks, Peter Koppes of The Church, John and Rick Brewster of The Angels, Jack Housden of The Whitlams and The Badloves, Kevin Borich, and heaps more.

Along with all the hits the show will feature two jam sessions at the end of each set which should really be something special. You get that much talent on one stage and how could it be anything but?

If you’re keen I’d jump on the tickets when they go on sale tomorrow from Ticketek. Last year’s show almost sold out, so unless you want dud seats make sure you get in quick!
