Geoff Achison

Southern juke joints in America. English ale houses that have stood since the 1300s. Festival bills from Byron Bay across to Edinburgh. Geoff Achison has carried a guitar to all of them, and the solo-acoustic show he plays around Melbourne brings the stories home with it. It's blues, ballads and reworked classics: Polk Salad Annie, Superstition, Come Together, In The Midnight Hour, Blackbird, Whipping Post, Evie. Between songs he tells you where he's been, and what went wrong there. Set structure is yours to choose, three 45-minute sets, one or two hour-long sets with encores, or a straight two-hour concert. His rig is simple, one channel for guitar and one for vocals, and a vocal PA and lights can be supplied. Public liability insurance held.
