These two could well have written the sound track to O Brother, Where Art Thou?
such is their grasp of Gospel, Appalachian Folk and Blues.

Thanks Sam …. quite a compliment.
So here we are…. The O Brother, Where Is Ye? Show featuring The Blues Preachers and The Sirens. (Jenny Marie Lang, Cass Eager & Faith McLeod).
Don’t miss this journey into the world of murder, chain gangs, lost love, death and resurrection, hopelessness and hopefulnes, struggle and determination and the Gospel.

The Blues Preachers
The Vanguard 23rd May 2009
The Vanguard is an intimate, purpose built live music venue and restaurant that plays host to the greats of Australian and international music. With a 1920’s feel to the interior, the Vanguard’s friendly and unpretentious luxury has an ambience unlike any other. Patrons feel like they have stepped back in time.
This was the perfect Venue for The Blues Preachers ‘Dry Long So’ CD launch. Their theme for the night was ‘Sounds from The Great Depression for The Current Depression’. Many guests came in period costume to match the music and the pre-war decor.
The Venue was sold out …. We apologise to those people who had to be turned away and hope that you will consider seeing the show at The Brass Monkey in Cronulla on Thursday 28th May or the Heritage Hotel at Bulli on Friday 29th May.
The support acts, Ian Collard and Cass Eager were excellent and the Preachers once again managed to have the audience on the edge of their seats with their skilful guitar and harmonica playing and their inspiring vocal harmonies.

Thank you to Kurt, a fan in the Gallery for the cool B&W pics and to Darren, the Vanguard’s house engineer for pulling an excelent sound and for adding to the vibe by providing great depression era projected images.
