PAULIE BIGNELL & THE THORNBURY TWO are a longstanding, much loved trio led by guirarist, singer, songwriter PAULIE BIGNELL – the 2024 ‘People’s Choice Award' Inductee into the Blues Music Victoria Hall of Fame. Paulie’s bandmates are PETER “BOOM BOOM” BEULKE on bass and DAMIAN SINGH on drums – a killer rhythm section which also takes care of filling the sonic backdrop of harmony vocals, something most blues acts don’t have. With two albums under their belts, they deliver a top live show sound that demands satisfaction and tolerates no distraction. Take a tip from Slim Harpo - the music’s hot!
Paulie is a founding member of Melbourne's long running mighty Jump-Blues band The Detonators, and has also carved out a successful separate solo career. More recently, Paulie has immersed himself in producing and recording other roots-based artists at his own Hailstone Recording Studio. A Bluesman at heart, Paulie clearly understands the rowdy, rhythmic drive of the Blues, but to call him a Blues revivalist would be wrong. Dig deeper into the Bignell oeuvre and his tangled Blues roots system of Rockabilly, Country, Soulful R&B and flat-out Rock'n'Roll becomes apparent. Mix Hound Dog Taylor, Keith Richards and George Thorogood into a wonderful glob of rootsy Rock'n'Roll, and there lies the essence of Paulie Bignell – “I tend to blur the musical lines and make music that I like to make, but at heart, the blues is my home.” Paulie mixes powerful original songs with a few choice Blues covers.
