ERIC GALES
Supports Announced For
Blues Virtuoso’s National Tour This November
Blues powerhouse Eric Gales will return to Australia this November for a full national tour.
Joining Eric is an incredible line up of local artists, they are:
BRISBANE
Dana Gehrman
A local guitar-slinger and singer, Dana Gehrman delivers a vintage sound that evokes rich nostalgia. Taking influence from the halcyon days of the 70’s ‘west coast’ music, Gehrman transports you back to a time of genre-bending experimentalism with her songwriting – blending soul, funk, roots-rock and blues, all with unfaltering vocals.
MLEBOURNE (Memo & Nightcat)
The McnaMarr Project
Respected and experienced Australian Soul and Blues artists, Andrea Marr and John McNamara combined forces to become The McNaMarr Project. Their 2019 debut album, ‘Holla & Moan’ won the Vic/Tas blues awards for Album of The Year and Song of The Year. In 2022 their second album, ‘Run With Me’ hit #1 on Blues and Soul charts in Australia and the US. That same year, Andrea Marr was inducted into the Blues Music Victoria Legends Hall of Fame.
CANBERRA, SYDNEY & ADELAIDE
Karen Lee Andrews
An artist that crosses boundaries and melds influences into an earthy, rich and dynamic sound, Karen Lee Andrews’ music feels like it could come from the Soulful Blues and Gospel-tinged Delta of the Mississippi, from the steamy Country bayous of Tennessee or the Rock highway of blue-collar Philadelphia. Throw in her Polynesian heritage and what fans have discovered is a tapestry of stories that paint pictures that will captivate the spirit and the mind.
FREMANTLE
Dave Brewer Trio
For over three decades guitarist/singer Dave Brewer has been the backbone for many of Australia’s most seminal acts including The Elks, The Dynamic Hepnotics, The Mighty Reapers and The Catholics. Dave has released three critically acclaimed albums and has been busy regularly working with Lucky Oceans, Natalie Gillespie, blues band the DooDaddies, along with his own band the Deluxe Combo.

ABOUT ERIC GALES
The Memphis born blues virtuoso has spent over 30 years and 18 albums reinvigorating the genre with his guitar excellence and bold songwriting. A child prodigy at just 16 years old with The Eric Gales Band, Eric has been praised by his peers and guitar legends the world over ever since.
Often hailed as the second coming of Jimi Hendrix, the Grammy Nominated Eric Gales has redefined blues playing with his rock swagger, searing guitar solos, heartfelt lyrics and a stage presence that absolutely commands your attention. He is boldly vulnerable, uncompromisingly political, unflinchingly confident, and has absolutely earned his status as a true guitar hero.
Gales’ latest album 2021’s Crown is a bold, deeply personal statement. Born from raw emotion and introspective reflection, the album channels his journey from addiction and hardship to triumph and purpose. Tracks reflect on his struggles with substance abuse, his path to sobriety, and the pressing social issues that have defined his world.
“When I recorded Crown, I poured my heart out,” says Gales. “Every note, every word is part of my story. Now, I get to bring that energy to Australia and connect with my awesome fans in the most powerful way possible, live on stage.”
Don’t miss your chance to witness the fire and fury of one of the most electrifying guitarists on the planet when Eric Gales and his extraordinary band roar through your town this November.
