Dusty and Bob

Dusty and Bob play blues and roots music at pubs, festivals and markets across southern Tasmania.

Dusty Broom and Tallangatta Bob have worked together for almost ten years and share a love of early blues and roots music from the deep south. In this format they funk it up just a little with electric instruments and driving foot percussion while maintaining the authenticity of the music they love.

They call it roots music because it’s where it all began, it underpins rock and roll and everything that has come since. In any set you’ll get songs recorded by luminaries such as Robert Johnson, Son House, Blind Willie Johnson, Leadbelly, Muddy Waters and others from so far back that we don’t know who wrote them. Songs don’t last that long unless they deserve to be heard. Do yourself a favour…
