Brisbane Blues Cruise presents "The Humbuckin' Pickups" with "Julian James & Beci Kate"!

Double Header with 2 Dynamic Duos! You won't wanna miss this one!!!
Cruise the Brisbane River whilst treating yourself to these great original Festival Acts - The Humbuckin' Pickups with Julian James & Beci Kate.
THE HUMBUCKIN' PICKUPS are Ewan Cloonan & Mahney Wearne (ex Hillbilly Goats) ... trailing a string of awards behind each of them, their voices and rhythms blend seamlessly and their stories, dance moves and humour are delighting audiences across the nation. This "All Originals" act describe themselves as Folk Drenched Roots and as their energy transcends the stage, be warned you may just find yourself singing along to their catchy tunes.
Their latest single, "How the Other Half Live", is a powerful narrative that captures the harsh reality of Australia's ongoing social and housing crisis and its’ national airplay saw it land in the top 10 of AMRAP’s regional charts on the week of release. With most weekends taken up performing festival stages, we're stoked to have locked them in for the Brisbane Blues Cruise!
But wait, there's more!!! .....
JULIAN JAMES & BECI KATE are back on home soil after 6 months touring Europe, and are only performing 6 months of shows here in OZ before taking off across the ocean again.
Drawing from a diverse palate of alt country, folk, soul and bluegrass, to the bold, smoky undertones of blues and hill country deeply infused in Julian’s musical origins, the spirited duo artfully distill this complex mash of influences down to create a prime blend of Americana.
Surprise and delight await as listeners are whisked away on an audial adventure through the lively streets of New Orleans and the sweaty juke joints of Mississippi, to the honky-tonks of Tennessee and the whiskey-drenched porches of Appalachia.
Julian’s high-energy musicianship is a show in itself, showcasing his resonant voice and unique style of guitar finger-picking, alongside spirited slide and harmonica playing. The addition of Beci Kate, his vibrantly talented wife, elevates the show to new heights with captivating harmonies, groove-driven percussion and their palpable on-stage chemistry. Whether delivering thoughtfully crafted originals or paying homage to the greats, their sound is rich with the soul of the South, whilst imbued with their own distinctive flavour through the dynamic, contemporary flair they have become known for.
Considering these 4 musos are all great mates, expect a bit of an all in jam to top off the show!
