Dave Bleus

Country blues sits next to hard rock in a Dave Bleus show, with indie rock, pop and his own singer-songwriter material in the mix as well. The Sydney performer puts plenty of energy into it, and he plays popular songs with real feeling, the kind of versions that can win over a stony-faced crowd. With that many styles to draw on, he's handy when different corners of the room want different things, at a pub gig or a mixed-age party.
