*PLEASE NOTE: Brian Fraser's 2008 Festival performance is a special pre-Festival gig on the Saturday BEFORE the Festival weekend (for more details see bottom of this page).

Geelong's Brian Fraser is one of Australia's finest and most well-known acoustic blues performers and always a favourite with Goulburn festival audiences.

Brian is a multi-award winning artist with over 30 years' experience in the music industry. His hectic schedule includes spending many months of every year touring the country, performing at festivals, pubs and clubs, playing his own brand of stompboard driven blues.

Whether it be amazing his audience with his guitar talents, his humorous story-telling, or performing both his own material and his quirky covers, this solo show is definitely extremely entertaining.

Brian has released seven CDs: three with his previous and highly acclaimed band, 'Turning Blue', three solo acoustic albums and his most recent offering, the 'Passing the Time' CD, with the 2006 Australian Blues 'Duo or Group of the Year', The Brian Fraser Trio.

Brian will be joined by special guest harmonica master, Mick Reid (Brian Fraser Trio, Mick Reid Band).
