Please see details below: BACKSLIDERS ?LIVE? 2006 tour Following rocking gigs at the Byron Bay Blues Festival, and a trailblazing tour of the Kimberly region of Western Australia (June), Backsliders are to hit the road again as part of the new ?Live? album promotion tour. Returning t o favourite haunts in Victoria and NSW, this leg of the tour will feature the innovative talents of two very special guest harmonica virtuosos. Having blown up a hot desert storm with Backsliders in the Kimberly, award-winning harmonica genius Ian Collard (Collard Greens & Gravy) joins D om Turner and Rob Hirst for their gigs in his home state of Victoria. For the NSW sector of the tour, the legendary Brod Smith (The Dingoes, Broderick Smith ?s Big Combo) will add his explosive harp and vocal mastery to the Backslider ?s fury. All in all it promises to be a furious ride ? with Dom and Rob set ting the grooves and taking no prisoners, and Ian and Bros firing-up the amps to fuel the maelstrom. STOP PRESS: The ?LIVE? tour will also feature a swampy downhome ?all -acoustic unplugged? set, spawned on the banks of the Kunnanurra River during a chi ll-out session while on the recent Kimberley tour.
