PROMOTER – a curated journey through the sound and soul of contemporary blues and roots.

This edition traces the lineage from Johnnie Johnson’s piano-driven swagger to the precision of Stevie Ray Vaughan, showcasing a collection that bridges classic traditions and modern craft.

New works from JD McPherson, Jaimi Faulkner, Jad Tariq and Rodney Crowell highlight the evolving edge of the genre.

Leading Australian voices — Chris Wilson, Fiona Boyes, Collard Greens N Gravy, Catch 23, Bill Barber N The Holding Cell and The Sunbears — demonstrate the strength and diversity of the local scene.

A refined mix of authenticity, artistry and rhythm — PROMOTER celebrates the musicians who keep the blues alive and moving forward.
