TEXAS HEAT:
RAY BEADLE, DARREN JACK, ADAM PRINGLE
Three of Australia's hottest blues guitarists are headed to Great Lakes Paddocks Wootton
RAY BEADLE
Ray's guitar and vocal styles evoke numerous blues legends, whilst concocting a breathtaking style all of his own. It is not by chance that Ray has become a favourite amongst Australian blues and music fans. An exhilarating guitarist, an enthralling singer-songwriter, and an extremely talented performer, Ray was awarded Best Album, Best Song, and Best Male Artist in the Chain Blues Awards.
Ray Beadle is the genuine article, his music comes deep from the heart and soul, stirring emotions in people with his guitar genius. Ray’s music is rich with a deep history of the Blues; Rich from 20 years of experiences garnered from performing Nationally and Internationally; and rich from a deep understanding of his instrument and how to make it stir something within the listener. He knows that’s what the Blues is about. Ray’s life as a musician started when he was just 9, and for the next 20 years, Ray has played with and learnt from the best, including many years spent performing and recording with the Foreday Riders; (commonly referred to as the ‘University of the Blues’).
Ray has shared the stage with many great Australian and International artists and has thrilled countless festival audiences. A three-month residency with the house band in BB King’s Club in Memphis, as well as several Southern Blues festivals, were all defining moments during Ray’s three tours to the USA.
DARREN JACK
For over 20 years, Darren Jack has been thrilling audiences in Australia with his powerhouse rock, blues and electrifying original compositions. A multiple award winner, Darren Jack has collaborated with some of Australia’s finest musicians. His passionate performances throughout the country (both band and solo), regularly prove why he is regarded as one of Australia’s top Blues musicians.
In 2021, Darren Jack produced his most ambitious album yet. Lost in Living is a tour de force of song writing and musicianship. On its release, Lost in Living stormed up the Australian Blues Charts, spending weeks at number 3 and once again, showcasing his powerful vocals and mastery of the guitar. From the roaring electric blues of the title track Lost in Living to acoustic gems like Deep Blue Ocean, Deep Blue Sea.
In 2022, Darren Jack was invited to tour the United States with St Louis legends The Kingdom Brothers Band, playing several venues in St Louis, Missouri and Chicago. The well received set featured tracks from his latest album Lost in Living. A highlight gig was the legendary Rosa’s Lounge in Chicago which was live streamed to fans worldwide. Darren Jack now plans on making the United States a regular part of his touring schedule. Darren Jack is no stranger to success, his album Better Place swept up five awards at the 2012 Australian Blues Music Awards, including Best Album of the Year. Both albums are testament to his relentless hard work and growing maturity as a songwriter.
ADAM PRINGLE
Guitarist and vocalist Adam Pringle has been performing live since the age of 14, when he was sneaking into his uncle's blues gigs. It was the "trial by fire and brimstone" approach to learning that has given him the strong, rich and unique guitar tone he is known for and has seen him develop into one of Australia's finest players.
Apart from leading his own career, Adam has also been a sideman for such acts as Corinna Steel, Kara Grainger, The Hiptones, Melanie Horsnell and The Bondi Cigars. Adam has played with just about every blues/ roots act in town over the past 25 years, including Continental Robert Susz, Rob Woolf, Jo Fabro, Ray Beadle band, Jesse Redwing, Mitchell Anderson, John Waters, Karise Eden & many others
