From the far north of Queensland but with his musical roots embedded in the deep south of the USA, Sugarcane Collins has been touring nationally and internationally as a soloist since 2005 picking up the 2007 Australian Blues Album of the Year along the way for his ‘tour de force’ blues debut WAY DOWN THE RIVER. The style is powerful original acoustic blues and his raw intense performances combine great respect for the old time bluesmen with his own spontaneous edge. His setlist is comprised of his own gritty compositions supplemented with original versions of old classics. Look for his new album DOWNUNDER THE BLUES which is sure to cause a stir with it’s forthright look at contemporary Australia! Not for him the simple love songs so regularly employed by others. Sugarcane picked up the CHAIN Award for Best Male vocalist 2014 at Golbourn. The 2004 Qld Songwriter of the Year has so much more to say. If you appreciate big vocals fiery guitar and spot on story telling then don’t miss the chance to see and hear the brilliant Sugarcane Collins.
