House of Blues - Tues Oct 7th

BLUES JAM NIGHT

Feature act: PAUL BUCHANAN’S VOODOO PREACHERS

PAUL BUCHANAN’S VOODOO PREACHERS are a Gippsland-based blues supergroup featuring members of the multi-award-winning Amnesia Blues Band, The Blues Lizards and The Wayward Aces. The Voodoo Preachers are Paul Buchanan (vocals), Ning Hopkins (guitar), Marc Leyshan (guitar), Rob Boothman (bass) and Stuart Anderson (drums). In 2020, they recorded their debut album, Testimony, which went straight to #3 on the Australian Blues and Roots Airplay Chart. In 2021, the band released Live at Moechella 2021, which remained in the ABARAC Top 25 charts for several months. The same year the band were shortlisted for Music Victoria’s Best Blues Band award. In January 2023, the band released Down Sellings Lane, their second studio album to also reach #3 on the ABARAC charts, delivering more of The Voodoo Preachers brand of brass-knuckled blues with a couple of exotic detours.

The Voodoo Preachers have featured at festivals including Echuca Winter Blues, Blues Inn Bruthen, St Kilda Blues Festival, Boolarra Folk Festival and Glenmaggie Blues Festival, as well as headlining at blues clubs in Victoria and NSW. In August 2023 Paul Buchanan’s Voodoo Preachers qualified as finalists in the MBAS International Blues Challenge. In September 2023, the band were nominated for Music Victoria’s “Best Blues Work” award, and Paul was nominated for Blues Music Victoria’s “Hall of Fame.” Buchanan’s manifesto has always been grunt over gloss and The Voodoo Preachers are clearly along for the ride.
