The Backsliders

Multi award-winning Australian blues act, Backsliders, led by founding member Dom Turner, return to the live circuit celebrating 40 years of touring and recording in a re-invented line-up following the death of long-time drummer Rob Hirst. Joining Dom is long-time Backslider harmonica player Joe Glover, along with the twin-drummer combination of Rosscoe Clark (Foreday Riders, Cyril B Bunter) and Hamish Stuart (Don Walker, Jackie Orszaczky, Ian Moss, Hirst, Moginie and Stuart).

The band will play an all-original setlist of songs by Turner and Hirst.

“[Bonecrunch album] A blues record made of hard times, primal and real, designed to alleviate the pressure from those very times, as is Backslider’s way” Rhythms Magazine

“A Backsliders show is like no other.." Far from the Mississippi delta, they took us to the water’s edge, ‘til we felt the riverbed beneath our feet” Rhythms Magazine
