After a couple of regional dates Carus Thompson will be smashing into the Corner Hotel, ok they play folk music so it’ll be more of a leisurely stroll than a smash, but still. They’re launching the kick-ass new album Caravan .
Along with friends Yanto Shortis and Leena to provide some supporting entertainment this isn’t a Blues Fest show but it should be. If that roots and blues thing is your schtick then you’ll be wanting in on this gig.
The Western Australian acoustic songster has toured with the likes of the John Butler Trio, The Waifs and Xavier Rudd. What’s perhaps more impressive is that he’s managed to carve out an substantial crowd of adoring fans in Europe. Quite a feat for boy from the suburbs of Perth.
If you don’t want to miss out on Carus Thompson before he romps back off to his legions in Europe catch him in his “regional” shows at the Drouin Bowling Club on April 14, the Pelly Bar at PIER Live in Frankston on April 15 or the Corner Hotel in Richmond on April 16.
