'Geoff is one of the finest blues guitarists I know with a completely individual style' Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane/Hot Tuna)
Geoff Achison is an internationally renowned blues-roots musician, and an independent Australian Melbourne-based singer/songwriter guitarist, whose artistic focus is of the blues, blues rock and soul genres. He returns to The Coolroom after mesmerising a capacity audience at the same venue In 2024.
Geoff Achison has toured the world delivering memorable solo shows with his beloved Gibson guitar. A master of his instrument, Geoff employs a truly stripped-back approach to his solo shows, treating his old guitar like an orchestra with sweeping chords, and cascading arpeggios, using no electronic loops or gadgets.
