Billy Bragg & Joe Henry Slate In Bluesfest Sideshow Dates

Staff Writer

The Great American Railroad will lead all the way to the east coast

In addition to making their Bluesfest debut next year, Billy Bragg and Joe Henry have revealed plans to play a handful of headline shows along the east coast.

The two troubadours recently released the album, Shine A Light: Field Recordings From The Great American Railroad, together and it'll be a chance to hear the songs up close and personal from the duo.

The band will be kicking off the headline run at Sydney Opera House on 19 April, before heading to Canberra and Melbourne, the latter for two shows at the Recital Centre.
