It has been said that had blues man Siegal been around in the sixties he would today be accorded the same reverence as Van Morrison,Joe Cocker and Eric Clapton. Instead a child of the seventies who dropped out of art college to busk the streets of Berlin,Siegal progressed to clubs around Nottingham, then to London and ultimately to major stages around Europe. "The closest thing I've heard to Chester Burnet!" JEFF BECK
Two succesive European tours opening for ex-Rolling Stone Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings brought him to the attention of a wider audience. This was followed by UK tours with Big Bill Morganfield (Muddy Waters' son). During this time Siegal was also capturing the hearts of audiences in Holland,Belgium,Austria and Hungary. In 2005 he topped the Soul/Blues/Jazz charts in Holland and in 2006 he debuted in the USA, appearing at major clubs and the largest music festival on the West Coast.
"If my Daddy were alive today he'd say "That's my boy!"" BIG BILL MORGANFIELD. Broadside is his latest album, full of virtuoso performances and versitility....excellent. www.myspace.com/iansiegal

Sal Kimber is one of Australia’s most exciting emerging singer-songwriters. Based in inner Melbourne, Kimber has been quietly stealing hearts on the city’s live music scene for the past five years. But it was in 2008 that she really found her niche by forming alt-country band Sal Kimber & The Rollin’ Wheel (with older sister Beth Kimber, Jacob Cole, Cat Leahy and Trent McKenzie).

Originally an acoustic duo formed in 2007, The Stagger and Sway brought songwriter Mike Last from behind the drum-kit of two prominent Eugene bands, to reveal his candid songcraft that hits somewhere in the spectrum between Tom Petty and Uncle Tupelo.
Delivering intimate melodies with a unique bite, the vivid lyrics and atypical time signatures produce catchy hooks and toe-tapping turnabouts.
