Multi award-winning Australian, blues-based band, Backsliders, will present a special show dedicated to Rob Hirst, Backsliders’ drummer for over 25 years, following his recent death. Backsliders will enlist friends of the band to help celebrate Rob’s life. The set will be made up of a selection of Rob Hirst and Dom Turner original songs from the band’s extensive catalogue.
“Rob wanted the band to continue. For Rob, it was always ‘the show must go on’. We’ve decided to get help from a few friends to celebrate and pay tribute to our dearly missed friend, musical brother and Australian legend.” - Dom Turner
Founding member, guitarist, lead vocalist and songwriter, Dom Turner, and harmonica virtuoso, Joe Glover, will be joined by drummers Rosscoe Clark and Hamish Stuart, in the tradition of bands such as The Allman Brothers and The Tedeschi Trucks Band, along with a number of very special guests throughout the set.
