Hotel Gosford’s first Saturday Blues, Jazz and Roots will open up to out of towners from 7pm on March 4.
This blues extravaganza will return the musical stylings of Hamish ‘Jellyroll’ Baker, last heard on the Coast at Gosblues 2016, supporting resident band, BluesAngels.
Baker plays delta and country blues, mixing traditional material from the likes of Fred McDowell, John Hurt and Robert Johnson, with later styles, Led Zeppelin, Rory Gallagher, Keb Mo and a few songs of his own.
Baker studied harmonica with the legendary Jim Conway, and acoustic and resonator guitar with renowned John Morris of Blues Preachers’ fame.
Baker is often seen playing around North Sydney markets, fundraising for The Black Dog Institute, or at The 4 Pines Brewery.
After a roll call of folk, jazz and country, it’s back into the blues for BluesAngels and first Saturdays.
The heat is on with a fine night of acoustic blues, warm hearts, good food and cold beers in the cool oasis of Hotel Gosford Bistro.
