Odeon Richmond and Werner Martin's 3CR Hot Damn Tamale proudly present an exclusive show!We are proud to be hosting Australian music legend Phil Manning as he keeps the stage warm for Geoff Achison whilst he is away.
Phil's first duo show is with the ever soulful Sarah Carroll.
A veteran of the music industry in Australia, Phil Manning has been at the forefront of blues and roots style music for over 5 decades, first coming to public attention as a founder member of the now legendary “Chain’, a prominent Rock/Blues band of the sixties and seventies, which still performs to this day.
Throughout his career Phil has displayed great talent on both the electric and acoustic guitar, absorbing influences from folk, blues, country and world genres and crafting them into his unique style. His energetic playing and relaxed delivery have made him an engaging artist who presents both traditional songs and a wealth of original music, much of it based on his personal interpretation of the many recurring themes in blues and folk history.
He has recorded many albums, both ‘Solo’ and with ‘Chain’, as well as countless recordings with other artists as a session player. As well as the blues/roots guitar influence in his recordings there is a large element of the ‘Singer/Songwriter’ within his CDs, revealing a great sense of lyricism.
His latest CD titled ‘Out Of My Shed’ combines electric and acoustic instruments with a fine collection of new original songs and featuring Phil’s trademark guitar style throughout.
He has toured widely throughout Australia and New Zealand, appearing at hundreds of festivals and venues, as well as touring festivals and clubs in Ireland, UK, Vietnam, Cambodia and even Bali.
Within Australia he has toured with or supported more international artists than seems possible and the list reads like a who’s who of rock and blues royalty. His playing with some of these artists shows his versatility, from blues greats such as Champion Jack Dupree and Bo Diddley through to flamenco maestro Paco Peña.
Phil Manning is a consummate live performer and it is here that he shines.
