BILL BARBER – appearing with his band 'The Revalators'. Hailing from central Victoria, this young guitarist/singer songwriter is at the forefront of a new generation of Australian Blues. Bill took an interest in Blues at a young age and by 14 was making the rounds, performing in Melbourne venues alongside Australia's most respected Blues artists.

In 2012, Bill won the Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society 'Youth in Blues' competition and as a result he was invited to perform festivals across Victoria including the Bendigo Blues and Roots Festival and End of the Line. Bill's talent caught the attention of multi award winning Australian blues legends Geoff Achison and Lloyd Spiegel who have since become mentors and had Bill as both support act and special guest at countless shows. 

In July 2017, Bill won the Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society's Blues Performer of the Year, making him the youngest winner in its history. This victory sent him to Memphis USA to represent the MBAS and compete at the international Blues Challenge (IBC) in January 2018 where he was one of the 32 Semi – finalists out of over two hundred acts from across the globe.

In recent years Bill has also gained notoriety as a songwriter with a powerful, raw, deeply personal and at times brutally honest approach. What sets Bill apart is his dedication to the Blues. While he borrows influences from various different genres, his music is always deep rooted in the Blues.

Bill is a fantastic young Blues player who keeps getting better and better every time I see him” – Geoff Achison
