Eugene ‘Hideaway’ Bridges is returning to where he belongs – back on Australian shores and aboard Blues on the Water for a special afternoon cruise on Saturday, 15 November 2025. With only 120 tickets available, this is an intimate and rare chance to see one of the world’s most beloved bluesmen in action, surrounded by stunning views and soulful sounds. It’s been over 25 years since Eugene first brought his smooth blend of blues, gospel and soul to Australia, and he’s been a crowd favourite ever since.Born in New Orleans and raised in the deep south of Louisiana, Eugene grew up steeped in music. His father performed as blues guitarist Hideaway Slim, and his family ties include none other than Tina Turner. Eugene’s own journey has taken him from singing in gospel choirs to touring with The Mighty Clouds of Joy, to serving in the US Air Force and later forming his own band. His discography spans decades, with standout albums like Jump the Joint and Rock and a Hard Place earning international acclaim.
Described as a "vibrant and enthusiastic singer and guitarist" by Allmusic, Eugene lights up every stage he touches. His live performances radiate energy, warmth, and authenticity – a testament to his lifelong dedication to his craft. Don’t miss your chance to sail into the blues with a living legend – this will be an afternoon to remember.
