Chris Harland performs on stage 18 October

A trio magnifico sure to eager folks back for another serve of that hot Chris Harland guitar! You can always rely on Chris Harland and his eponymous band to serve up a high standard of searing Chicago Blues and promise to put on a performance that will not be forgotten in a hurry. UK guitarist CHRIS HARLAND brings the tradition of British-made Electric Blues, the authentic riff-driven Chicago sound, a high-voltage heritage of Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and Peter Green.

The simplest formula. The maximum impact. The Chris Harland Blues Band has the command and the precision to nail every number they play.

Every CHBB set remains a memorable, musical event, revisiting the best of the Blues standards: B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters… the list is long, the excitement sustained. Chris Harland digs the Blues from deep in the Chicago mother-lode: taut, electric, urgent. A blues subtle when it sorrows, cutting when it struts; blues high, wide and gutbucket; a blues lonely as a distant freight train wailing through a midnight one-horse town. Chris’ voice is tough, husky, plaintive, his blues guitar tumbling, darting, tart. Bite down on his no-prisoners riffing: sore-toe, hang-nail, fretful, the flight and the fury and the old, bold story stropped to a humbucking, hambone edge. [Chris was voted Instrumentalist of 2008 by the Canberra Blues Society]
