Rupert Guenther – Born Under a Bad Sign

A night of electric blues violin and other stories.

Catch frontman Rupert Guenther and his all-star band, putting aside his original songs, and playing a night of down-home traditional electric blues.

Rupert's deep love for the blues brings together a band of some of Australia's most authentic blues talent in a show of Chicago, country, Mississippi, and contemporary urban blues, with his immediately identifiable electric violin sound and unique vocal style. Classics from the likes of Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, Little Walter, Robert Johnston, Link Wray, Elmore James, John Lee Hooker and more, from gentle acoustic renditions, to lively house rockers and searing barrelhouse blues.

Renowned for over 30 years for his highly personal and spontaneous approach to music, with Born Under A Bad Sign he presents an intimate evening in performance and conversation with the maverick musician whose career has spanned from classical opera to world music, blues and Europop.

Having spent two decades working as sideman to the stars (The Vienna Chamber Opera, Beatles' producer Sir George Martin, Olivia Newton-John, Demis Roussos, John Farnham, and projects with players from Procul Harum, Daddy Cool, Little River Band, and Frank Zappa band), he is enjoying sharing his music in more intimate venues with local audiences again.
