Collard Greens & Gravy play Martha Salt Music Saturday 19th October 2024.
Raw harmonica driven blues doesn’t get any better.
ARIA Award winners Collard Greens and Gravy have been forerunners of the Australian blues and roots scene since the mid 90’s. The band traveled to Memphis Tennessee for the International Blues Challenge and took second place, and have won countless local and Australian awards. In November 2023 Ian Collard was inducted into the prestigious Blues Music Victoria Hall of Fame.
The line up features Ian Collard on vocals and harmonica, Benny Peters on guitar, Dale Lindrea on bass and Liam O’Leary on drums.
Their recent album ‘Luedella’ won The Age/Music Victoria best blues album.
Like a night in the North Mississippi hill country, it doesn’t get any better!
“Eerie, haunting blues…it reminded me of a dark night on the Delta.”
Bruce Iglauer, President Alligator Records (Chicago, USA)
“Collard has dug deep into some wellspring of blues… and dug out a sound similar in trance-like rhythms to North Mississippi hill country blues.”
Jeremy Loome, The Edmonton Sun (Canada)
“They do what the Brits did in the 1960s, absorb the work of Delta Blues masters and synthesise those influences into their own sound, while still upholding the tradition”
