Blues Arcadia deliver an uninhibited old-fashioned soul stomp revival, combining the legendary soul of Stax and Motown with the heat and power of the Chicago and Memphis blues.
Formed in Brisbane around the songwriting partnership of vocalist Alan Boyle and guitarist Chris Harvey with Jeremy Klysz (bass), Parmis Rose (keys) and Casper Hall (drums), they received an Australian Roots Music Award nomination and an Australian Blues Music “Chain” Award and for their 2017 self-titled EP release.
Their new album Carnival Of Fools captures the sound of the band exactly as they perform live: with raw emotion and absolute conviction. Crowd favourites at festivals like Woodford Folk Festival and Blues on Broadbeach, Blues Arcadia have delivered a record brimful of style, passion and attitude with the Australian Weekend Review calling it “an impressively accomplished debut album... Blues Arcadia exudes all-round excellence".
