DAVE HOLE BAND (WA)
Dave Hole is Australia’s premier internationally reknowned bluesman and highly acclaimed slide guitar virtuoso. He burst onto the international scene over 30 years when his first album, “Short Fuse Blues” was picked up by America’s most prestigious blues label, the Chicago-based Alligator Records. He has since released a further nine critically acclaimed albums and is an Australian ARIA award winner. Dave’s explosive live show and innumerable tours of the US and Europe have solidified his stature as one of the very best blues guitarists playing today and have earned him accolades from around the globe.  He has headlined festivals in America and all across Europe. Dave’s current band consists of Angus Burchall (drums), Ian McDonald (bass) and John Grant (keyboards).

There he performed with Mr Guy and other celebrated Blues greats, including Junior Wells, James Cotton, Eddy Clearwater and many more, before touring with Jimmy Dawkins. Making the USA his new home, Michael has enjoyed a long and illustrious career which includes induction into the Blues Hall of Fame, Grammy elections and an impressive recording catalogue of over 41 album releases. He remains one of America’s most driven artists and tours annually non-stop across the USA and Canada.
