Geoff Achison & Nat Allison

Join us in the Beer Garden for an incredible Sunday Session with Geoff Achison & Nat Allison.

 

(Weather permitting – otherwise in the Carnegie Room)

You can expect songs & Stories from one of Australia’s most respected blues/roots trailblazers.

 

In 1995 Geoff Achison represented Australia at the International Blues Challenge, staged in Memphis Tennessee, USA. Playing solo with a cheap acoustic instrument, he stunned the judges with his guitar & songwriting skills and brought home the coveted ‘Albert King Award’.

 

Geoff is now one of Australia’s most highly regarded blues/roots musicians. Through relentless touring he has successfully established himself on the UK, US & OZ blues/roots performing either electrified with his ‘Souldiggers’ or simply solo with his prized Gibson guitar. In his popular solo acoustic shows, Geoff treats his guitar like an orchestra creating rich, sweeping chords, and cascading arpeggios. He shuns the use of loops or gadgets, relying solely on hard-earned skill and a heart full of soul.

In 2020 Geoff was inducted into the Blues Music Victoria “Hall of Fame” joining the likes of Dutch Tilders, Phil Manning & Chris Wilson.

 

Supporting Geoff will be the amazing Nat Allison. From the studio to the stage, Nat Allison captivates with her pitch-perfect scream, dynamic strut, and masterful guitar showmanship. Music is deep within her soul, a passion that shines through every performance. Nat’s remarkable guitar skills, powerful vocals, and songwriting prowess make her a true standout, commanding the stage and captivating audiences like few others. When she’s not playing her own shows, Nat lends her talents to other artists, including the legendary SUZI QUATRO, who broke barriers for women in rock ‘n’ roll—just as Nat is doing today.

 

Expect an intimate solo acoustic set by Nat, featuring a blend of her original songs and classic covers.
