Wicked humor, hot playing, fabulous songwriting, and gorgeous harmony
singing -- all this and more are brought to the Freight stage by the
bluehouse, one of Australia1s premier live music acts. After forming their
trio nearly a decade ago in a Melbourne pub, Samantha Harley, Jacqueline
Walter and Bernadette Carroll have gained attention and a devoted fan
following in Australia and Britain, where the bluehouse has been favorably
compared to kd lang and the Indigo Girls. They may win hearts with their
hilarious stage antics and heartfelt songs, but the centerpiece of the
trio's performances is without question the achingly beautiful three-part
harmonies they bring to bear on their unique blend of jazz, blues, soul, and
rootsy pop. Impressively enough, the bluehouse managed to fund the
production of their most recent CD, big, entirely through advance mail-order
sales. Can such ardent fans possibly be wrong? |
