‘Promising a catastrophic, electromagnetic collision of post-punk, the avant-garde, and new wave, get set for a sonic spectacular that’s as passionate as it is powerful.’

‘Sonically, Red Dirt Blues is a wild, buzzing, Australian alchemy. It draws from the primal howl of Howlin’ Wolf and the chaotic boogie of R.L. Burnside filtered through Jon Spencer’s Blues Explosion.’

Stephen returns to George Lane for one Melbourne show only to celebrate the release of his new EP Joy which features profoundly moving reinterpretations of four of his favourite Australian songs: “Living in the Balance” (originally by Dag, 2021), “Unfamiliar Ground” (Jess Ribeiro, 2015), “No Word from China” (Pel Mel, 1980) and “Fly Without Its Wings” (Mike Rudd’s Spectrum, 1971).

The Honey Sliders are Danny Widdicombe (guitar, vocals), Bos Borley (bass, visuals), Dan Mansfield (keys, guitar, vocals), and Ben Carstens (drums, vocals). For this show, they’ve enlisted the help of Dana Gehrman (harmonica, vocals), Michel Rose (pedal steel), and Luke ‘Fiddleboy’ Moller (fiddle, mandolin, banjo, vocals), plus a special appearance from the band’s roadie Ben Mallon.

‘For one night only, Abbey will take over an intimate room for a close, immersive live performance – revisiting selected releases and re-introducing herself in a room designed for connection, energy and presence.
This is not a tour date.
This is not a launch.
It is a re-introduction.’

The group features members including How, Lim, Rui, Hy, and Hyun
