Thredbo Blues Festival 2022 took place over three days and nights on a weekend at the end of January.

Below are images and links; each band has a JAlbum slideshow link under their images.

Also at the bottom of this post there are links for all bands, top 25 (colour), top 100 (colour) and selected monochromes.  (After a skin update, images should appear correctly sized on all screens.)

At the top of each JAlbum page you will see links to each of the 18 years I have covered Thredbo Blues Festival since 2006 (I missed 2018 because I was in Ladakh and 2021 due to Covid).  There are also drop down lists for each band for each year.  Alternatively, you can view the Thredbo Blues Festivals blog page from a link at the bottom of this post which has links to all those performances.  Note that previous years may have smaller sized images, 640×640 from 2006 to 2011 and 1024×1024 from 2012 to 2021.

The bands in this post are ordered according to when I saw the performances in the festival; the order of bands is alphabetical in JAlbum.  If you are on a PC and click on any of the images, you will see it larger (2000x2000px).  This is the same size as the images in JAlbum, where you can drill down to a selected image and go through one by one or run a slideshow.

This, as usual, was a significant exercise.  I took 3,000 images and produced 323 colour images in individual band portfolios, and also 40 monochrome conversions.  I used Lightroom to select and catalogue images, including preliminary processing, and mainly processed images in Capture One.

A few technical notes for those who may be interested.  I was using some new equipment, a Nikon D850 (70% of shots) and a Sigma 135mm f1.8 (40% of images).  This combination allowed me to replace a 180mm f2.8 and a 105mm f2 with improved resolution and bokeh and greater capacity to crop.  I also have a Fuji system which is more portable but the Nikon system has advantages for resolution, autofocus and low light sensitivity.  I also processed all the images under stage light in Capture One for the first time, for greater control of colour and greater ease with masking and layers.

.

There are many more images. On the Thredbo Blues Festival Page you will find links to images from the 2020 Festival, as well as thirteen previous festivals . Links for 2020 include top 100 images, top 30 images, selected monochromes and the 23 performers or bands.

Andy Cowan, Andy Cowan Band

This is Andy Cowan on keys.  Andy and his band have been regular visitors to Thredbo Festivals and have always been a delight.  He told me that he was about to retire to pursue other interests and that this might be the last performance for the band, which has been together for ten years.

Andy has a distinctive piano playing style and singing voice.  In earlier decades he was prominent in bands such as Ayer’s Rock.  His band includes Gavan Anderson (lead guitar) and Jimmy Sloggett (Saxaphone), both also distinguished musicians.

Andy Cowan’s website.  A single song on MySpace.

…

Bridie King with Ali Penney and Pat Powell

Bridie King plays Blues and Boogie piano and appeared in Thredbo with a great band.

Bridie started her career with Balmain (Sydney) Rhythm & Blues band the Hippos and there is more than a hint of the Hippos in this lineup with Hippos band leader John Power  on bass and Lez Karski on lead guitar.  There is also Rosscoe Clark on drums and  another female band member (flute, piano) whose name I don’t know, as well as Pat Powell (vocals, percussion) and Alison Penney (piano) on some numbers.

Website, music on MySpace.

…

Continental Blues Party

Continental Blues Party is another great swinging band – Soul, Funk and Blues.  Band leader is Robert Susz (formerly of the Dynamic Hepnotics and the Mighty Reapers) and on the right we see Illya Szwec as lead guitarist.  Pat Powell (vocals) also appeared for some numbers.

Music on MySpace (one track), Robert Susz on MySpace.

…

Don Hopkins and Rob Grosser, Dr Don’s Double Dose

Dr Don’s Double Dose is a two-man Rhythm & Blues band inspired by musicians such as Fats Domino.  Don Hopkins plays piano (and not just with his hands it seems) and Rob Grosser plays drums.  Always dependable for a great performance.

Website.

…

Gary Lothian, Cyril B. Bunter Band

The Cyril B Bunter Band really hit the spot at the Festival, despite not having performed for nearly thirty years.  They are a band from the 70s and 80s and George Thorogood took one of their tracks as the feature track for his 1985 album “Boogie People“.

Here we see Gary Lothian on lead guitar.  There was also Jimmy Bee (bass and vocals), Rosscoe Clark on drums and Alison Penney on Keyboards.

Video on U-Tube

…

Faye Blais

Faye Blais is a Canadian musician with a “jazzy-bluesy folk style”, playing in the Festival accompanied by two Australian musicians.

Web site; music on MySpace.

…

Gail Page

Gail Page is another regular at Thredbo, with a great voice that can keep on going if the power fails.  Gail always has great bands and her current lineup includes Adam Pringle (lead guitar), Rob Woolf (piano), James Haselwood (bass) and Declan Kelly (drums).

Music on MySpace.

…

Marco Goldsmith Band

Marco Goldsmith turned up this year with his new band, “an eclectic soul/blues band that is laced with a country/ bluegrass quirk”, including Kare Berg and Rod Hoe.  Many years ago in Thredbo I saw him playing solo and in recent years he has usually turned up with his large swinging band Blue Heat, complete with an impressive brass ensemble.  That’s compelling listening, so is the Marco Goldsmith Band.

Music on MySpace.

…

John Prior, Matt Finish

Matt Finish is a band that has been around for a long time, having formed in 1979.  The band is somewhat changed, though, following the death of Matt Moffitt, one of the founders, in 2003.  Their period of greatest success was probably in the early 80s, they are as much a Rock band as a Blues band and still well worth listening to.  The lineup in Thredbo included John Prior, Elliott Weston, Nick Meredith and Peter Astley.

Website (includes videos)

…

Owen Campbell

Owen Campbell is a slide guitarist and singer who “blends blues, roots, soul and country”.   He originally hailed from Queanbeyan (near Canberra) but is now based elsewhere, probably in Sydney.   He was playing with a drummer and a bass guitarist whose names I don’t know.

Video lips on U-Tube.

…

Shannon Bourne,  Shannon Bourne Band

Shannon Bourne brought his accomplished band to the Festival.  Starting off a few years ago as a sidekick to Chris Wilson, he played here with Richard Tankard (Piano), Karl Willebrant (bass) and Adrian Violi (drums).

Website (with music from Reverberation on Audio & Video tab)

…

Swamphouse/ dancefloor

Swamphouse – the name says it all really, with a sound that might as well come from the swamps of Louisiana.  Nicholas Churkin on Drums, Gary Lothian on Lead guitar (also in Cyril B Bunter Band) and Mike Rix on bass.

Website (with some tracks on the Music tab)

…

The Others

The Others are a band from Adelaide who formed in early 1963, so have been going as long as the Rolling Stones, an English band that you may have heard of.  Somewhere between Blues, Rhythm & Blues and Rock, the Others include Ian Nancarrow (harmonica/ guitar/ vocals), Paul Reading (vocals), Jeff Gurr (bass), Ivan Korovljev (lead guitar) and George Abbott-Young (drums).   Well worth checking out.

Tom Richardson’s Project

Tom Richardson’s Project is an energetic band of young Blues musicians  from Victoria.  Tom has received a whole spectrum of awards as an emerging young Blues musician.  The band includes, Daniel Paroissien, Brenton Smith, Jacob Gellert and Matt Hewson.
