Dan Dinnen and Shorty play Martha Salt Music on Saturday 23rd April 2022.
DAN DINNEN & SHORTY dish out an original bluesy gumbo of rootsy goodness, seasoned with a touch of delta swamp, a spoonful of hill country, and very much its own unique flavour. Dan sings, plays finger-style guitar and howls into the harp. With Anthony “Shorty” Shortte, a percussionist with a unique rolling, rollicking, juke-joint style they cook up a storm. Both have represented Australia on Beale Street, Memphis USA. Winners of Music Victoria ‘Best Blues Act’ 2021. Real good stuff! Yeah..
Dan Dinnen is the real deal. Dan pens original blues-infused tunes and bends the country folk blues to his own will. Anthony “Shorty” Shortte, is a drummer / percussionist held in high regard Australia wide for his work with ARIA award winning blues act Collard Greens and Gravy. His unique approach to the drum-kit has captivated audiences where ever he plays.
Their latest album ‘Dan Dinnen and Shorty’ has topped the blues charts throughout Australia.
What a treat to finally have Dan and Shorty at Martha Salt Music.
