Jimi Hocking & Geoff Achison - Guitar Showdown
Guitar slingers Jimi Hocking & Geoff Achison headline our Blues Club with a special Guitar Showdown.
Standing toe to toe and facing off with hot licks and burning riffs, Jimi & Geoff will be rockin' rhythm and blues they're both known for. This show promises to be an electrifying night of music.
Jimi has been thrilling audiences with his astonishing guitar prowess for many years both locally and internationally. In 2003 he won the 'International Blues Challenge' in Memphis, USA and lately has been reviving his role as lead guitarist with Aussie rock giants The Screaming Jets. Meanwhile he has kept up a hectic pace with his solo career taking his Blues Machine combo to India & Nepal and promoting his latest albums 'Electric Mojo Machine' and 'Live In The Moment'.
Geoff's arrival on Melbourne's blues/roots scene was sealed in when he joined The Blues Club with revered bluesman Dutch Tilders. After several years with Dutch he began to focus on his own music and set his sights on touring internationally. His first US performance won him the Albert King Award in Memphis and a Gibson Guitars endorsement deal. Subsequent tours of the USA, UK and Europe have earned him widespread acclaim. He recently celebrated 20 years with his Melbourne based Souldiggers group performing a retrospective concert now released as a combined DVD/CD production.
