Party: The Backsliders

Blues kings, the Backsliders (featuring Dom Turner, Rob Hirst and Ian Collard), return to their Sydney home at The Vanguard Newtown for a pre-Xmas show, featuring Newtown-themed tracks from their 2014 album release ‘Dark Side’, described by ABC Perth as "among the best Australian LPs of 2014”.

Backsliders have been touring the festival circuit (including 14 appearances at the prestigious Byron Bay Bluesfest) and recording their own brand of driving Delta and Mississippi Hill country blues sounds for 28 years and have gathered myriad awards and nominations including various ARIA Blues and Roots nominations and the 2011 I-Tunes Australian Blues and Roots album of the year award.

Invited: Erin Gibbons, Mätthew Gibböns, Darren Barrett
