In February 2008, Three of Australia's best up and coming Blues and Roots artists - Tom Richardson, Jason Lowe and Jonno Zilber - will hit the road together as part of a 2 month tour to promote their brand new album.
"This album brings together 3 of the most promising and exciting young Blues/Roots artists in Australia today. What is impressive about each of these artists, apart from their age, is that although still in their teens, they have already managed to create their own sound. An impressive result for any musician, let alone at such an age.
The idea to bring them together, was conceived as a result of hearing their music. It was obvious that, although they were distinctive in their playing, writing and musical personalities, they were all coming from a relatively common place and would complement each other, musically and personally.
To introduce them, we arranged to record them in Melbourne on Monday 17th September. They each had the talent to perform live in the studio, both individually and collectively. The main focus was on touring the 3 of them together, but we realised that we needed a recording to promote them.
They assembled for a quick photo shoot, then away to the recording. Robert B Dillon, the noted Blues recording engineer, set up the mikes etc., and away we went. Each track that you are hearing, on this album, is mostly first takes of Tom, Jason and Jonno performing individually and collectively."

The tour starts at the Australian Blues Music Festival in Gouburn in February and will take them down the East coast and around to Adelaide, finishing back in Canberra in early April.
