Experience sitar virtuoso Anoushka Shankar performing her spellbinding and magnetic album Land of Gold Live. A singular figure in the Indian classical and progressive world music scenes, Anoushka Shankar grew up playing alongside her father and Guru, the legendary Ravi Shankar.

A singular figure in the Indian classical and progressive world music scenes, Anoushka Shankar grew up playing alongside her father and Guru, the legendary Ravi Shankar. In recent years she has emerged as a global music star, performing to worldwide adulation for her breathtaking sitar virtuosity and releasing numerous critically acclaimed albums.
Anoushka Shankar's music takes the ancient Indian instrument firmly into the contemporary world – into electronica, classical music and flamenco, collaborating alongside the world’s great orchestras with artists as diverse as Sting, M.I.A and Herbie Hancock.
Co-written by the extraordinary percussionist and hang player Manu Delago, her album Land of Gold, is a response to the humanitarian plight of refugees and a searing cry against injustice.
Be astounded by an evening of deeply expressive music, which draws upon India’s ancient culture, while creating a dynamically intoxicating sense of the contemporary.
“She’s one of the most gifted artists in her generation.”
Los Angeles Times
“A natural talent blessed with fluid technique and keen musical instincts, she possesses a darker, purer sound than her father (Ravi Shankar) but is clearly guided by his tutelage.”
The Birmingham News
“Most people are musicians simply because they play a certain instrument; when they plat that instrument the music appears. But Ravi to me, he is the music; it just happens to be that he plays the Sitar. And it’s like that with Anoushka. She has that quality – she is the music. “

FREE entry. Food & drink available to purchase.
6 – 8pm in the Church Dungeon
FREE entry. Food & drink available to purchase.
October’s Expresso guest is local duo Bravo Victor! Born from assignments and a creative and passionate understanding, bass and voice duo Bravo Victor, have surfaced as one of Newcastles most talented exports. Although quite unorthodox in their approach on paper, Bravo Victor encompass a true mash of genres, with jazz traditionalist and bassist Jonathan Burgess colliding with classically trained pop enthusiast Sophie Aked, to form something truly incredible.
Bravo Victor’s sound is always exactly what and where it needs to be, to fuel both Jonathan’s passion for a traditionalist outfit as well as providing a haven for Sophie’s heart on sleeve vulnerability that shines through in both her performance and her writing.
Their self titled debut EP released in May earlier this year, is a refined body of work, and encompasses a variety of stylings paying homage to both the modern and traditionalist approaches to their sound.

JASON BONHAM’S LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE (JBLZE)
State Theatre, Sydney, Sydney, NSW
Sun 28 Jan 2018, 08:00 PM
This My Ticketmaster internet-only presale is available from NOW until 8am, Monday 16 October 2017, and is strictly subject to availability.
After stunning, sold-out concerts across the US, JASON BONHAM's LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE is heading to Australia for the first time. The spectacular rock concert with iconic Led Zeppelin songs, stunning atmospheric video and light effects, highlights the unique history that Jason Bonham shares - in commemoration of his father John Bonham - with the legendary rock 'n' roll band.
"Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience show will hit home run after home run with these timeless classics done to perfection. JBLZE started 7 years ago as a way to show my appreciation not only to my dad and the music of Led Zeppelin, but also to the fans themselves." Jason Bonham
After stunning, sold-out concerts across the US, JASON BONHAM’s LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE is heading to Australia and NZ for the first time.
On December 10th, 2007, Jason played drums in the most anticipated concert of all time - the Led Zeppelin reunion at London's O2 arena with surviving members Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Robert Plant.
Now, finally after 7 years, Jason is bringing his popular and critically acclaimed concert–which celebrates the life and music of his father, the legendary Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, to our shores.
JASON BONHAM’s LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE is a spectacular rock concert with iconic Led Zeppelin songs, stunning atmospheric historic video footage and light effects, which highlight the unique history that Jason Bonham shares–in commemoration of his father John Bonham–with the legendary rock n’ roll band.
Show highlights include a heartfelt duet with JASON performing “Moby Dick” off Led Zeppelin II side-by-side with a giant video of his late father from Led Zeppelin’s landmark Royal Albert Hall gig.
“There are many Led Zeppelin cover bands out there, but few have the blood of the actual original members flowing through them. This band has it, and you can tell. John Bonham would be proud of his son”.
“The band, the stories, the music… so organic and authentic to the original artist. Jason Bonham's perspective, drumming and creation are spot on. You could close your eyes and listen...and what you hear is John Bonham, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones.”

GOV'T MULE WITH SPECIAL GUESTS LUKAS NELSON & POTR
Monday, March 26, 2018 at 7 PM - 10 PM UTC+11
Details
ON SALE: 20TH OCTOBER 2017 AT 10AM AEDT
Bluesfest Touring is proud to announce an unmissable double header for Rock n Roll fans –Gov’t Mule with special Guests Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real. The Metro in Sydney and The Corner in Melbourne are set to come alive with the sound of epic guitar and thundering drums when the bands roll into town in March.
Gov't Mule has showcased their virtuosity, intelligence and breadth for more than two decades, which have encompassed 15 studio and live albums, millions of album and track sales and thousands of performances. Formed as a side project for members of The Allman Brothers Band, Gov’t Mule has become a human encyclopedia of timeless American music while adding to that canon with their signature sound. Their many Australian fans will relish the chance to hear their early improvisational interplay, an impressive skill that has since become a signature of Gov't Mule's albums and live shows.
The buzz around the Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real was immense when they last played Australia in 2016, and has done nothing but intensify over the past 2 years.
Lukas first piqued music lovers’ attention on his dad Willie Nelson’s 2012 album, Heroes whentheir voices blended with potent DNA.Two years later, life took another turn skyward when Neil Young decided to make Promise of the Real his touring and studio band. Young has guided the grateful young musicians ever since as they’ve backed the legend on tour around the world and on his two most recent albums.
These experiences were undoubtedly invaluable, but none of what has come before will prepare you for the cosmic country soul of Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, the band’s new, self-titled album released on August 25, 2017. Drawing on Lukas’ lineage as well surrogate uncles like Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings and of course mentor Neil Young, they began to develop their own distinctive style of music. Sydney and Melbourne will be in for a treat when Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real deliver their self-described blend of ‘Cowboy Hippy Surf Rock’ next March.

ROBERT PLANT AND THE SENSATIONAL SPACE SHIFTERS
ON SALE: 20TH OCTOBER 2018 AT 10AM AEDT
The legendary singer of Led Zeppelin returns to Australia along with his band, TheSensational Space Shifters. With a new album ‘Carry Fire’ out October 2017, and the incredible 2018 milestone; marking 50 years since Led Zeppelin’s first self-titled album was released, it promises to be a powerful show, that’s not to be missed for any true fan.
Formed in 1968, Led Zeppelin went on to become one of the most iconic and beloved bands in music history. Songs such as “Whole Lotta Love”, “Black Dog” and “Stairway to Heaven” became anthems that are still revered by music lovers of all ages.
The Led Zeppelin era ended in 1980 when John Bonham died. Since that time, Plant has put his wide-ranging musical fascination to good use on solo albums, such as 2007’s Raising Sand, which Plant made in collaboration with Alison Krauss that won six Grammy® Awards, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year.
The Sensational Space Shifters are his latest project, first established in 2002 they are a loose band "inspired by the roots music of Mississippi, Appalachia, Gambia, Bristol and the foothills of Wolverhampton and drawing on influences collected in a lifetime of meander and journeying."
Robert Plant’s new album, ‘Carry Fire’, will be released October 13. Plant talks about creating new work after 50 years in the music industry:
“It’s about intention, I respect and relish my past works but each time I feel the lure and incentive to create new work. I must mix old with new. Consequently, the whole impetus of the band has moved on its axis somewhat, the new sound and different space giving way to exciting and dramatic landscapes of mood, melody and instrumentation”.
Each night on this tour of Australia, Robert Plant will take audiences on an incredible journey through his unique musical life. These shows will include rare performances of some Led Zeppelin hits in intimate spaces that will allow fans to experience the full power of his epic vocal prowess.
TWILIGHT AT TARONGA HAS UNVEILED ITS 2018 ZOO GIG PROGRAM
No longer just the realms of Monica Trapaga residencies and kiddie-aimed pantomimes, Twilight at Taronga — the after-hours live music series that boasts perhaps the best view of Sydney Harbour as well as lots of adorable animals — has proven it's got some real cred when it comes to hosting outdoor gigs in the past few years.

CHAMBER PHILHARMONIA COLOGNE
Vivaldi, Mozart, Bach, Tchaikovsky and Paganini

Adult - $45.18

"Classical music the world over" - this is the motto of the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne. It is irrelevant for our musicians whether they are playing in a little village church, in the open air, in Cologne Cathedral or in the Sydney Opera House - their enthusiasm to play music is the same every time.
The objective is simple - we want to inspire as many people as possible across all generations to enjoy classical music. The popularity of our ensemble is reflected in the fact that the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne gives around 300 concerts a year around the globe and listeners throughout the world look forward to a musical encounter with our exceptionally talented musicians.
The Chamber Philharmonia Cologne was founded in the city whose name they bear: Cologne. The city that is famous throughout the world for its University of Music and its musical and instrumental teaching. Generations of musicians have been trained here for many decades who, in terms of their musicality, are unparalleled around the world. Taking advantage of this pool of talent, a stock of outstanding musicians has accrued that in a changing cast of musicians take our motto across the world.
Since November 2009, the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne has a very special partner at their side - the Mercedes-Benz Centre in Cologne. As part of a creative cooperation, this world renowned company, via its branch in Cologne, thrilled by our musical concept provides the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne with a comfortable tour bus. It enables our musicians to travel quickly and comfortably to the many varied concert locations. In return, the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne, in close cooperation with the Mercedes-Benz Center Cologne, organises special concerts for the car company's special customers. The remarkable construction of the Mercedes-Benz Center is transformed in the process into a really top-class concert palace. This results in the smell of new cars mixing with the sounds of classical music.
The Chamber Philharmonia Cologne is at home all over the world. Our tours regularly take us to New Zealand, Australia, Spain, Great Britain, Ireland and many other countries - and of course to Germany. In this context, the selection of works and soloists takes on a special significance. The multifaceted composition of the ensemble provides every member of the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne with the opportunity to perform as a soloist.
The permanently expanding repertoire of the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne consists primarily of hand-picked pieces. The real appeal of our programme lies in the meeting of popular and unknown works from a wide variety of musical epochs. This sees familiar greats like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Vivaldi in dialogue with works from people such as Sergei Prokofieff through to the "King of Tango" Astor Piazzolla. This mix promises great diversity of the very highest order, without us having to preach to the audience in the process. After all, music is for entertainment and not for instruction.
To inspire people across the world to enjoy classical music - that's what we view as our maxim!
Quite simply: Classical music the world over!

SCULPTURE BY THE SEA 2017
The seaside sculpture exhibition returns for its 21st year.
WHEN: Thursday, October 19, 2017 - Sunday, November 5, 2017
WHERE: Bondi Beach
PRICE: FREE
EVENT TYPE
FEATURES
It's a special birthday for one of Sydney's favourite art events, as 2017 marks 21 strong years from Sculpture by the Sea. Kicking off on Thursday, October 19, two clicks of Australia's most picturesque coastline in Bondi will be transformed into a living, breathing artscape. Over 100 pieces from both Australian and international artists will be on show, including one from James Dive, creator of 2006's now infamous melting ice cream truck.
There's also the chance for a chin wag with the artists themselves at the Aqualand Artist Talks series, which will take place each Saturday and Sunday of the exhibition. Plus, it coincides with this year's Sydney Sculpture Conference if you can't get enough of the art form. So keep your fingers crossed for good weather — the whole thing runs until November 5.
SCULPTURES IN THE VINEYARDS
October 28 – December 3
This arts and cultural festival brings together art, food and, of course, wine in the Hunter Valley.
Sculpture in the Vineyards brings an artistic bend to the Hunter Valley with its annual arts and cultural festival, held throughout four independent vineyards in the Wollombi Valley from October 28 through December 3. This free public exhibition features site-specific, large scale sculptures which transform the boutique vineyards into exhibition parks.
The celebration combines art, food and, of course, wine throughout the month, with tastings happening at each of the vineyard cellar doors. Visitors can also take guided tours, attend artist talks and workshops, learn about local Aboriginal history and feast at a wine and food degustation. Events will also take place at the nearby historic Wollombi Village.
Entry into the exhibitions along the Wollombi Valley Wine Trail is free and open daily from 10am–6pm, with additional special events happening across the month.

Cass Eager – Ain’t No Stopping Me
Friday 27 October 2017 | Doors 7pm $15 + BF Presale
Cass Eager has a brand new beat and she’s hitting the road with her band this October to send new single ‘Ain’t No Stopping Me’ off into the world.
Strange Daddy produced the new track which is somewhat of a stylistic departure from Cass’ previous work. Lyrically, it’s a testament to her resolve, and sonically it has a vintage Motown charm that hints at an Amy Winehouse swagger but sounds like she’d be more at home drinking tequila with Elle King. As always, Cass has got “more soul than heaven on a busy day”. (Brag)
She plays with her band, or alone, and while both are different magnificent beasts, one thing is constant – her voice. It carries like the wind and slams you right in your gut where you want it to. She could ‘sing the phone book to you and you wouldn’t get bored’, says Diesel.
She also loves a good story and a good laugh, and her shows are just as much about heartwarming and entertaining tales as they are about the music.
Some artists take a hiatus to write, some to travel, and others to reignite their creative inspiration. Cass Eager has done something a little more pragmatic with her recent years, and the result is two small children, Hank and Lois. But she’s back – better than ever – and ready to tell the world to step aside with her new single.

Chris Jagger
Sunday 5 November 2017 | 7pm | $23.50 Presale
Chris Jagger obviously comes from rock royalty. Watching his old brother Mick ascend with his band The Rolling Stones, Chris was soon turned onto music as well. He and Charlie Hart first met when Charlie was playing with psychedelic band 117 in Cambridge in the 1960’s and have remained friends ever since.
Together they have written many songs for a series of albums the pick of which will be released on BMG, available now as a download and as a physical release Sept. 1st 2017. The pair offer a great show, combining Charlie’s mastery of various instruments, including piano, accordion and fiddle, playing both their own tunes and some covers from Clifton Chenier to Professor Longhair as well as Cajun fiddle tunes.
They have toured across Europe, the USA and Australia over the years and are still going strong. Chris has written and recorded over 100 tunes from his first LP on Asylum records in the 1970’s. Charlie has worked with Ronnie Lane, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison and Roger Daltrey amongst others.
Willie and The Bandits
Thursday 9th November 2017 | Doors 7pm $12 + BF presale, $15 door
With their fresh approach to blues rock music, Wille and the Bandits have been assertively carving a place for themselves in Europe’s music scene, developing a reputation as one of the best live acts around and capturing the imagination and interest of music lovers right across the globe.
The band was listed in the top ten must see bands at Glastonbury 2014 by BBC Radio 1 and was personally invited to perform on the German TV show Rockpalast; a musical institution of global import.
Essentially, Wille and the Bandits is a classic blues rock three piece, much in the vein of Cream or The Jimi Hendrix Experience and like these bands is pushing at the boundaries of their genre. Wille and the Bandits take their sound way beyond what is expected of such a traditional lineup.
The band combines three talented and committed musicians who come from very different musical backgrounds. Wille’s exquisite slide guitar playing and powerful vocals are given perfect momentum with Andy’s innovative drumming, while virtuoso Matt, with his 6 string bass and double bass, adds a class and polish rarely seen in a Rock act. The great musicianship with infectious songs has inspired praise from Rock legends such as Ian Paice, Joe Bonamassa and Francis Rossi.
Throughout a performance the band can be seen playing a range of instruments, sometimes simultaneously, sometimes switching between various guitars, basses, and percussion within the same song, giving the audience a complete performance which has seen the popularity of Wille and the Bandits grow at an exceptional rate.

Jackie Marshall - Peppercorn Queen
Renowned for her gutsy but tender vocal style (which Jackie has jokingly referred to as ‘Dolly Parton meets Patti Smith’), Jackie was hand-picked by Missy Higgins to support her on the sold-out QLD leg of her 2007 “On A Clear Night” tour as part of the Australian national youth broadcaster Triple J’s Unearthed series. Jackie also performed for iconic QLD concert series Women In Voice at the QLD Performing Arts Centre and featured on SBS Television’s much-loved ‘RocKwiz’ dueting with Australian music legend Colin Hay. And it’s not just Australia that’s fallen in love with her, over the past few years Jackie’s performed extensively throughout Europe, the UK and Japan.

Foghorn String Band (USA/Canada)
The Foghorn Stringband is the present day gold standard for real-deal hard-hitting genuine old-time American string band music, with eight albums, thousands of shows, over 15 years of touring under their belts, and an entirely new generation of roots musicians following their lead. American roots music is a diverse and never-ending well of inspiration, and Foghorn Stringband continually and obsessively draws from old-time, bluegrass, classic country, and Cajun music traditions in an ongoing quest to present a broad span of American historical music with an unparalleled youthful energy, joy, and virtuosity.

The time has come … for Midnight Oil. From the northern beaches of Sydney to the streets of Manhattan, they have stopped traffic, inflamed passions, inspired fans, and broken new ground.

It will be Midnight Oil's first tour in 15 years and their biggest tour since classic 80's and early 90's albums like "10-1", "Diesel & Dust" and "Blue Sky Mining" sold over 10 million copies around the world.
Midnight Oil is more than just a rock'n'roll band. In 2017 they will finally bring things back to where they all began with this one special tour. The circle remains unbroken.

Guy Sebastian has hit the Australian airwaves again with his brand new single ‘High On Me’, out today through Sony Music Entertainment Australia. Written with Fiona Bevan (Ed Sheeran) and produced with Louis Schoorl and M-Phazes, ‘High On Me’ gives another tantalising taste of what’s to come from Sebastian’s forthcoming 10th studio album, CONSCIOUS, set for release on Friday October 27th, 2017. CONSCIOUS will be available to pre order from Friday September 8th.
Guy Sebastian has spent over a decade on the road, which has challenged him to maintain a healthy work / life balance and fuelled his conscious decision to spend more time at home over the last 12 months. Despite the huge task of writing and producing his 10th studio album, which in itself requires so much of his focus and energy, Guy decided that it was time to plant his feet and become grounded, even just for a moment.
Guy set himself goals. Mental, spiritual and physical goals. He pushed himself to the limit physically and mentally, forcing the realisation that he has never had a clearer outlook on life than he has right now. It has definitely been an awakening period for Guy and with that has come an invigorated positivity, which was the inspiration for the upbeat new single ‘High On Me’.
“I feel like I’ve had so many ah-ha moments this last year,” explains Guy. “One of the biggest is that every now and again everybody just needs a reason to let go, smile and dance. ‘High On Me’ came about while I was in Bali on a writing trip, surrounded by mountains and yoga enthusiasts who like me seemed high on life at the time! I really wanted to create a soulful earworm that would make young and old want to get up out of their chair and enjoy the moment.”
Stemming from a desire to release something fun and positive out, with a new appreciation for the age-old philosophy that what you put out into the universe comes back to you, ‘High On Me’ is that bit of fun we all need in our day. With its funky soul vibes that encourage a smirk and a groove, ‘High On Me’ is bound to make people smile.
To celebrate the release of his new album, Guy will be hitting the road this coming November on his CONSCIOUS TOUR with special guest, Matt Gresham.

Hitting Australian shores with his Absolute Monster Gentlemen for the first time since his 2016 Grammy Award win for new album ‘GoGo Juice’, Jon Cleary has officially announced the Australianleg of his World Tour for this November.
A hot ticket on Australian shores where he has sold out everywhere from Sydney's Opera House (Legends of New Orleans tour) to The Corner Hotel and torn up festival stages across the countryfrom Bluesfest and WOMADelaide to Wangaratta Jazz, this is a Grammy Award winning album tour not to be missed.
A respected peer of such New Orleans R&B icons as Dr. John and the late Allen Toussaint (who wrote most of the horn arrangements for GoGo Juice) Jon Cleary came to international fame throughhis work in the bands of Taj Mahal, John Scofield, Dr. John and Bonnie Raitt, with Raitt unabashedly dubbing him "the ninth wonder of the world."
The Album
Working alongside Grammy Award-winning producer John Porter (Elvis Costello, Carlos Santana, B. B. King) Cleary says "Funk is the ethnic folk music of New Orleans, and I wanted to infuse'GoGo Juice' with a sound that was true to the city I love."
Thoroughly steeped in the classic New Orleans keyboard canon - from Jelly Roll Morton to Fats Domino to Art Neville, James Booker, and beyond - Cleary uses that century's worth of pianisticbrilliance as a point of departure to forge his own unique and eclectic style. As heard in the widely varied grooves and textures of GoGo Juice, Cleary's sound incorporates such far-flung influencesas '70s soul, gospel music, funk, Afro-Caribbean (and especially Afro-Cuban) rhythms and more. "I love New Orleans R&B, " Cleary explains. "I'm a student of it - and a fan, first and foremost. Butthere's little point in just going back and re-recording the old songs - although on my live solo shows, especially in New Orleans, I make a point of trying to keep the fast- disappearing tradition ofthe R&B pianist/singer alive by playing the old songs that are in danger of being forgotten. As for recording, however, I think the greatest New Orleans R&B records are the ones that built on whatwent before but also added something new. By writing new songs you get to channel all the music you absorb through your own individual set of filters - and the fun is in seeing what emerges."
The Man
Born in Kent, England to a musical family, Jon Cleary epitomizes the fanaticism and inherent single mindedness of a musician who decides that he simply wasn't born where he was supposed to be.Like Dylan to New York, infatuated with the music of New Orleans throughout his entire childhood, as soon as he was old enough to leave school, Cleary took off for the Crescent City. When hisflight touched down he had the taxi take him straight to the Maple Leaf, a funky uptown bar which then featured such New Orleans piano legends as Roosevelt Sykes and James Booker. 35 yearsand 8 albums later - he's now a defining part of New Orleans musical heritage.

Currently touring extensively through North America, GEORGE THOROGOOD AND THE DESTROYERS will bring their Rock Party Tour to Australia for two shows only this summer. The Rock Party Tour promises to raise the bar, rock the house and tear off the roof like never before, unleashing at Melbourne’s Forum Theatre on January 22 and Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on January 24.
With more than 40 years of touring and recording, 15 million albums sold and 8,000 live shows, George and his longtime band – Jeff Simon (drums, percussion), Bill Blough (bass guitar), Jim Suhler (rhythm guitar) and Buddy Leach (saxophone) – remain among the most relentless and relevant classic rock acts on tour today.
The band has amassed a catalog of hits that includes “Who Do You Love,” “I Drink Alone,” “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,” “Move It On Over,” “Get A Haircut,” and 1982’s anthemic, “Bad To The Bone.” The band has released 16 studio albums – including six Gold and two Platinum discs on Rounder, EMI and Capitol – but it’s their powerhouse live performances that have made GT&D legendary.
“We play for a different audience every night, and that keeps it fresh. There are people who’ve never seen us before, and we have to impress them. There are fans that keep coming back, and we want to surprise them,” Thorogood said. This is my job,” he added. “I’ve always loved it, and I love it now more than ever.”
From coast to coast, the critics agree:
“I’m happy to say, after all these years, that George is still ‘Bad To The Bone’ and he’s never let go of the true spirit of rock ’n roll!” L.A. Daily News
“Thorogood is a guitar-blazing revivalist whose enthusiasm and showmanship make the music fresh.” Baltimore Sun
“He’s got charisma and personality to burn, a fact that becomes evident the moment he walks on stage.” Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
This year Thorogood released Party of One, the first solo album of his 40-year-plus career, marking a true back-to-the-roots approach for the singer and guitarist.
