Have You Heard: Blues Arcadia

Answered by: Alan Boyle

When did you start making music and why? Blues Arcadia formed early last year out of another band some of us were in. Individually, we come from different genres of music but have a deep and abiding love of blues and old soul. 

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Dirty, soul-infused blues.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Oh boy. Well, I guess B.B. King's Live At The Regal would be a personal favourite. Such a killer album. It really captures the live experience from both the performer and the audience perspective. 

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? We just finished a little tour down in New South Wales. After the last show, our drummer Beck whipped out a cheeseboard with crackers and dip. It was super hardcore. And we ate it all up, too.

Why should people come and see your band? We put on a pretty damn good show. Lots of dynamic moments, lots of emotion and soul... 200%, every time.

When and where are your next gigs? 18 - 20 May, Blues On Broadbeach, Gold Coast.
