Bill Jackson
More info coming soon, for now a review of Bill's last CD "Jerilderie" from Age Magazine:

"You could be sitting in your Camry, stuck on the Western Ring Road, but pop Bill Jackson’s latest into the CD player and you could be cruising the open road with nothing but time and nowhere particular to be.

"Gippsland bloke Jackson spends a lot of time working in the U.S. - these songs were recorded for the most part in Nashville, Tennessee – and there’s country twang aplenty courtesy of Pete Fidler’s excellent Dobro and mandolin, and a bit of banjo from Ruth Hazleton and fiddle from Kat Mear, without indulging in any big-hat self-indulgence.

"The writing is shared between Bill and his brother Ross and their sense of home is evident, starting with the title track and its Kelly-country companion piece, Joe Byrne. Their appreciation of things American is seen in the delicious Eggs Over Easy, a tribute to the breakfasts of Austin, Texas, but the song is also something of a wanderer’s blues, as is much of the material here – you love where you are, miss where you’ve been, and look forward to the next place".

The Stillsons
The Stillsons are past visitors to our Club and coming back to launch their new CD. They blend folk, blues and country with a bit of quirk. Based in Melbourne they comprise two singers - Justin Bernasconi (guitar) and Cat Canteri (drums), plus Ben Franz (pedal steel guitar) and Edmondo Ammendola (Augie March) on bass guitar.

Their previous album ‘Earnest’ was named ‘album of the week’ by ABC Radio Australia, ABC Dig, ABC Gold Coast, ABC Bendigo and Radio Adelaide. It has also been highly regarded in the national press, being named “Best Of The Week” in The Sydney Morning Herald, January 2012.

Many of their songs are continuing to reach overseas, being played on NZ Radio, BBC Scotland, BBC Ulster and BBC Radio 2.
