Dan Dinnen & Shorty

Dan Dinnen & Shorty are hitting the front bar at the Wes, dishing up a couple of sets of swinging swampy bluesy gumbo goodness to set you up for the weekend. Dan Dinnen has collected a swag of Australian blues awards for his solo work, song-writing, and collaborations. Dan’s original repertoire - ranging from soulful, searching ballads to rambunctious juke-joint grooves - draws on a wide range of blues styles, and on the rich vein of blues singer-songwriters, past and present. “One of the most authentic blues voices on the scene, with a truly individual sound,” Helen Jennings PBSfm Anthony “Shorty” Shortte is an astoundingly original drummer whose feel is grounded in deep Southern grooves. With Collard Greens & Gravy, his rolling, infectious rhythms captivated audiences at gigs and festivals around the country for 20 years.
