Geoff Achison & Tom Waters (UK) all-star band
Event description
Tom Waters, the young rising star in the world of rhythm & blues, jazz, funk, blues, Latin and roots music, and
his band are joining forces with Aussie guitar legend Geoff Achison for an exhilarating, one-of-a-kind musical
experience.
Waters is a graduate of the prestigious Royal Academy of Music in London. He has already recorded or played
with legends like The Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck, George Thorogood, Ray Davies and the BB King All Stars.
His list of collaborators reads like a who's who of rock ’n' roll royalty, and he’s also a regular with Jools Holland’s
R&B Orchestra. Tom is a force to be reckoned with on the sax. This tour comes in the wake of the release of his
debut songwriting album BLOWIN’ UP, featuring contributions from Jools Holland, Chanel Haynes, the Cinelli
Brothers & Ariel Posen. With a growing catalogue of recordings behind him already, Tom proves beyond doubt
that the sax can Rock ‘n Roll!
On the other hand, Achison is an iconic figure in blues and roots music in Australia. Starting out under the
tutelage of Australian blues legend Dutch Tilders, Geoff has carved out his own path, blending blues, soul, funk,
and folk into a signature sound that has captivated audiences worldwide. With a career spanning decades, and
14 albums under his belt, Geoff has been compared to greats like Eric Clapton, JJ Cale, and The Allman
Brothers Band.
Known for their fiery musicianship, their Brush with the Blues promises an unforgettable, action-packed set
stacked with hard-hitting originals alongside timeless roots classics, in a show dedicated to the late Jeff Beck.
From blistering sax & guitar solos to deep pocket rhythm and soul-drenched vocals, this is live music at its best.
