House of Blues - Jam Night
Tuesday 21st November 2023
Feature act: CHRIS HARLAND BLUES BAND (ACT)
CHRIS HARLAND BLUES BAND is fronted by ex-Brit Chris Harland, who exploded onto the Australian blues scene in 2007. Picking up the Canberra Blues Society’s award for best instrumentalist in 2008 paved the way for numerous festival appearances and attention. The combination of screaming, weeping, singing guitar solos with soulful vocals sees Chris Harland and his eponymous band deliver a distinguished standard of searing Chicago Blues.
Chris Harland has performed alongside some of Australia's biggest names in blues music including, Fiona Boyes, Frank Sultana, Shane Pacey Ali Penney and Ray Beadle – among others. Chris was also chosen to be the support act for Eric Burdon and the Animals for their Canberra Theatre show during their 2016 Australian tour and for Matt Schofield’s Canberra show during his 2022 Australian tour.
After making a name for himself in the Canberra region, Chris Harland and his band have performed at a number of national Australian blues festivals – The Australian Blues Music Festival, Echuca-Moama Winter Blues Festival, The Great Southern Blues Festival, Mitchell Creek Rock ‘n’ Blues Festival, Merimbula Jazz Festival, Kiama Jazz and Blues Festival and Sydney Blues Festival. MBAS welcomes Chris and his band back to Melbourne and The House of Blues – don’t miss it!
