House of Blues - Tues Dec 2nd

BLUES JAM NIGHT

Feature act: GREENHATCH BLUES

GREENHATCH BLUES delivers timeless tunes from the Mississippi Delta, Texas, Chicago, and the highways in between, with soaring vocals and vintage grooves.

In 1983, a young LUKE GREENHATCH heard news of Muddy Waters' passing when PBS played 3 tracks to mark the occasion. First Muddy, then BB, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Spellbound by their passionate playing, this moment proved pivotal, setting Luke on a journey home to The Blues.  

By 2012, Luke revisited the Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society, forming duos with Stibbo Hanger and Nicole Nehemia, and later, a trio with Liam Kealy and Neil Richardson. Recording with Rob Hornbuckle and legendary Hammond player, Mick 'The Rev' O'Connor proved an unforgettable experience. 

Watching Greenhatch, you hear references to bluesmen of old. By avoiding well-worn licks, audiences sense authenticity in Luke's delivery. With pain and pleasure in his pocket, Greenhatch bares his soul. 40+ years after losing Muddy, Luke is switching younger generations on to old-school blues at venues across Victoria. In trio formation, Luke joins dynamic drummer PETER HODGES, and legendary bass player PETER BEULKE to hold the groove and drive it home. With a shot of gospel and some down-dirty slide, Greenhatch Blues will have you hollering for more!
