The PERTH BLUES CLUB presents
Charlie Carters + Steve Tallis and the Snakes Of Desire
Charlie Carters | 7.30pm
Charlie Carters are a trio of seasoned musicians from Freo who met at a local coffee shop and started jamming around town. They play mainly original uptempo multi genre music from the vast repertoire of songwriter Dilip Parekh. It is reggae tinged, blues infused with dashes of jazz and sprinkles of country. Jean Guy Lemire, one of the state’s finest harmonica players, and well known bass player Alan Dawson complete the lineup. They have several tracks currently available on all major streaming platforms.
Steve Tallis and the Snakes Of Desire | 9.00pm
In celebration of his 62nd year as a musician, Australian Blues Griot STEVE TALLIS delivers his latest release, Memory Ghost - a spectacular, audacious 3CD set comprising a monumental 66 songs and nearly 4 hours of music, recorded live first take - a limited edition of 1,000 copies and all in glorious mono. Critics have described his music as “Vodou Blues!” while others have declared Tallis to be a “Blues Shaman”, “Part Buddha, Demon, Mad Angel”, a “Sorcerer of Sounds”, a “Bluesologist”. His style is unique in an Australian context with names such as Howlin’ Wolf, Dr. John, Captain Beefheart, Bob Dylan, Leadbelly and Tom Waits mentioned by way of reference points. Tallis digs deep into his spirit, incorporating Country Blues, Rock, Spirituals, Gospel and Field Hollers. Complex layers that plunder the depths of the human experience. Songs of love, desire, death, sex, politics, romance, skeletons, elephants, redemption, the devil, hobos, ghosts - challenging, intense, raw, sincere, enriching, unpredictable, fearless, restless, tender, intense, reflective, bohemian, sensitive, instinctive, radical, psychedelic, a musical outlaw, a renegade - observing, contemplating, reflecting and commenting on the world around him.
