GEOFF ACHISON & THE ALGO-RHYTHMS play Martha Salt Music 20th July 2024.
Aussie blues-roots artist Geoff Achison has won fans around the world with his dynamic guitar style and high-quality songwriting. A country boy from Victoria, Geoff moved to the ‘big smoke’ in search of the blues, beginning a journey which would ultimately lead to extensive touring playing the juke-joints of the American south and across the UK & Europe. He won the ‘Albert King Award’ in Memphis and upon returning home was honoured to be inducted to the Blues Music Victoria Hall Of Fame.
Geoff Achison first arrived on the scene in Melbourne playing incendiary lead guitar with local blues legend ‘Dutch’ Tilders before striking out on his own with his all-star group ‘The Souldiggers’. He began writing original music for this act and also established himself as a formidable solo act on acoustic guitar. He departed for overseas in the late ‘90’s which resulted in over 20 years’ worth of international touring. He has recorded over a dozen albums and live concert recordings which have earned him numerous awards for his songwriting and production. In 2023 Geoff also joined 70’s hitmakers ‘Stars’ on lead guitar and contributed a tasty solo on their latest single ‘One More Try’.
Now with The Algo-Rhythms, Geoff adds an exciting power trio to his repertoire of acts. An electric blues outfit which encapsulates the free-spirited music-making of the old juke joints, The Algo-Rhythms specialise in ‘reading the room’ to keep the audience on their feet with a mix of rocking blues, classic hits, and extended jams. Featuring Dean Matters on drums, Rob Dabbs on bass and led by Geoff’s impassioned vocal & guitar, The Algo-Rhythms leave nothing in the tank when the mood is high, and no-one wants the feeling to stop.
