Warrnambool zydeco rhythm and blues band Hot Tamale Baby will appear alongside blues luminaries from Australia and the US at a festival this weekend.
The Great Southern International Blues Festival, gearing up in Narooma on the New South Wales south coast, will feature Chris Wilson and the Crown of Thorns, the Black Sorrows and the Bondi Cigars, as well as US acts such as the Chris Gain Band. Hot Tamale Baby's Peter Lucas said the seven-piece outfit was looking forward to playing, but also to kicking back off the stage and enjoying the cream of the Australian blues scene.
The band will return to the south-west for gigs in Port Fairy and Warrnambool on October 10 and 11.
