**FREE ENTRY** Harry Coulson's Blue Dogs (Front Bar)

**FREE ENTRY // FRONT BAR // 6:30 - 8:30** Harry Coulsons Blue Dogs bring ability without the pretence and songs that explore the ebb and flow of suburban life, frustrated ambitions and the fierce drive to not back down…. If you wanted to.. You could compare them with something like Paul Kelly backed by Vulfpeck and The Clash. Performance credits include the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (with Adam Hills), Bendigo Blues and Roots Festival (2017-22), Eltham Jazz and Blues Festival, Seddon Festival, White Night (Melbourne and Ballarat), Castlemaine Jazz Festival (2018-23), Mornington Jazz Festival and the Turning Wave Festival as well as live to air performances on ABC Radio in Melbourne (774), Canberra (666), ABC Statewide Drive and ABC Central Victoria. "Harry Coulson’s instrumental jazz trio of guitar, bass and drums draws from a wide array of influences. They bring the technical athleticism of their jazz chops, but flesh it out with a rocky, even post-rock listenability... one of the most approachable contemporary jazz records I’ve heard in ages." (Chris Cobcroft – 4ZZZ) "there is no room for unnecessary thought. Listeners will get wrapped up in the mission and they will know where they are going. Equally impressive and enjoyable, Coulson’s solo debut album is very welcome to its listeners." (Sarah Prichard - Sydney City News) "The disc, in my opinion, is eclectic and unusual, a real mix of jazz and blues influenced music, featuring some excellent musicianship. The guitar work is outstanding" (Dave Anger – 2MCR)
