The Caretakers …
The Keepers of the flame … Dom turner (The Backsliders) and The Blues Preachers Brother John and Captain Bluetongue present a history of the real acoustic blues from 1920 to 1965.

The Blues Preachers
“Last year, with the release of their second record, Dry Long So, the Sydney based Blues Preachers in my opinion, put out one of the best blues records of the decade”.
Samuel Fell / Rhythms Magazine.

The Blues Preachers will take you somewhere between 1920 & 1940 with a fusion of good old blues, rags, gospel & hillbilly folk. The powerful simplicity of driving finger-style & slide-guitar combined with the sounds of tasteful harmonica & old-school vocal harmonies create a traditional untarnished sound that will have you on the edge of your seats.
