The Blues Preachers will take you to another place and time, somewhere between 1920 and 1940. Their music paints a landscape of pre-war struggle and determination with sounds reminiscent of the Deep South. The Blues Preachers perform a fusion of good old blues, rags, gospel and hillbilly folk. The powerful simplicity of driving finger-style and slide-guitar combined with the sounds of tasteful harmonica and old-school vocal harmonies create a traditional and untarnished sound that will have you on the edge of your seats. The Blues Preachers will make you want to get up and dance with their joyful country and ragtime blues, and send a shiver down your spine with their atmospheric feels, echoing and paying homage to the sacred sounds of early artists such as Blind Willie Johnson.

Their 2007 album Next Stop Beulah Land and their highly regarded 2009 release Dry Long So showcase the talents of the Preachers -
Brother John on guitar , banjo and vocals, and Captain Bluetongue on harmonica, mountain dulcimer and vocals.
After a year of touring and highly acclaimed shows at Goulburn Blues, The East Coast Blues & Roots Music Festival and The Bridgetown Blues Festival, the Preachers are building a reputation as one of the best pre war acoustic blues acts in the country.
