TIM GRIFFIN PLAYS COURTYARD TONIGHT

Now let me tell you a little about OUR Tim Griffin (ours now, as he moved from N.Z 10 years ago, to call this country home) Tim is considered to be a blues musician but loves dabbling in most styles of music.  He has played the Palmer St jazz festival, Airlie Beach fun race celebrations and the Palm creek folk festival and has racked up over 1000 gigs. As well as writing and recording his own music, Tim covers artists such as Keb Mo, Cat Stevens, Ben Harper, Tom Petty, UB4o,  Elvis Presley, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and many many more.

 So if you’re sitting at home tonight saying “Nothing happens in Townsville” you’re clearly not putting in the hard yards,  researching and following through. 

The Herbert Hotel is putting on a gig for you, so come on Townsville show your support of live music venues and artists….See you cats at 6.30 pm tonight for some cool tunes and  good times.

The fun begins at 5 with meat tray raffles supporting Legacy and other goodies. You’ve gotta be here to understand…..oh yes DO BELIEVE THE HYPE

Townsville – Lonesome Trio Tonight at the Herbert Hotel

By james

Best LIVE Music In Townsville Tonight at the Herbert!

Lonesome trio’s sound comes from deep in the North, creeping like an old steady van down the Bruce Highway.

It is at once a nod to the past and a stumble towards the future. The two piece has played countless bars, shindigs and festivals over the years, including Woodford Folk, Yungaburrra Folk, Palm Creek, Wintermoon, and the prestigious Mt Isa Blues Roots and Rock.

With wil joelson on a full drum kit incorporating elements of percussion and solid free-style beats, a platform is laid for the raw guitar work, frantic harmonica and big vocal approach from Ben.E.Facta.   At times menacing and treacherous like a late night chartreuse, and at others heart warming like a Bloody Mary breakfast, this guitar and drum combo bring a unique NQ sound to the courtyard.

Have a quick listen at their  Myspace music page:  Loneseome Trio

The perfect Friday Night is on at the Herbert Courtyard – see you there.
