One of Australia's premier live music acts, Bluehouse lights up the Freight stage with their wicked humor, hot guitar and bass, fabulous songwriting, and gorgeous harmony singing. Since joining up a decade ago in a Melbourne pub, Jacqi Walter and Bernadette Carroll have gained attention and a devoted fan following in Australia and Britain -- and if recent Freight appearances are any indication, they've got a burgeoning flock of admirers in the Bay Area as well.

Bluehouse may win hearts with their hilarious stage antics and heartfelt songs, but the centerpiece of the duo's performances is without question the achingly beautiful harmonies they bring to bear on their unique blend of jazz, blues, soul, and rootsy pop, which have led to many comparisons with the Indigo Girls. Impressively, the duo managed to fund the production of their first two albums, including their most recent, big, entirely through advance mail-order sales. Come find out why!
