Dale Watson & His Lonestars Hit Cherry Hard After Bluefest 2011.
Yeee-har! The burgeoning Bluesfest lineup has been the talk of the Beat offices for months and those not making the trek to Byron this time around are still champing at the bit (what?) to get along to as many Melbourne “sideshows” as possible. No strangers to pulling in the best names, Cherry Bar have not only enticed Dale Watson & His Lonestars to grace the stage on Tuesday 19 April but they’ve sweet talked Dale et al into backing it up the following night too!
For genuine fans of real country tunes, this tattooed, stubbornly independent outsider can’t be missed. Dale will be touting cuts from his latest record Carryin’ On and if you like your country authentic, compelling – the type that had The Washington Post bleating, “Dale Watson writes songs that wouldn’t sound out of place on one of Johnny Cash’s best albums,” – well, weeee doggy, these are the shows for you.
See Dale Watson & His Lonestars on Tuesday 19 April and Wednesday 20 April. Tickets on sale now through oztix.com.au.
