Fiona Boyes
FIONA BOYES AND THE FORTUNE TELLERS – THREDBO 2027
Internationally acclaimed blues guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Fiona Boyes is the only Australian musician to be honoured in the USA Blues Music Awards (Memphis, USA) with 8 nominations. Her mostly original repertoire ranges from Delta slide, gritty Mississippi Hills riffs, intricate country blues fingerpicking, classic Chicago feels to heartfelt ballads. Overseas reviewers have likened her albums to taking a ‘virtual roots music road trip through the American Deep South’.
At Thredbo Blues Festival Fiona will be joined by her band, The Fortune Tellers, featuring Melbourne’s Hammond maestro Tim Neal (Archie Roach/Paul Williamson’s Hammond Combo), and inventive percussionist Mark Grunden (Bad Boys Batucada/Dilli All-Stars).
“There are very few blues players who put out the explosive mix of superb guitar instrumentation – fingerpicking or slide – a great voice, and top tier songwriting like Boyes…She’s one of the best on the blues scene today, period, of any heritage, gender, or age.” – Frank Matheis, Living Blues Magazine, USA
