Dave Wright brings his eight piece Midnight Electric to George Lane for his fourth Annual XMAS Spectacular!
Across his remarkable decade of work, Dave has done more than wear his Colac heart on bought-in-Melbourne sleeves; he's name-checked his guitar-slinging heroes and their life-changing albums. Anyone who's seen Dave dominate a mic onstage with either the Midnight Electric or Midnight Ramblers - his bluegrass band that also features Rob and Tim- has witnessed his Cash swagger, Strummer ferocity and Springsteen showmanship. Dave pulls no punches. His songs draw blood. No extraneous words, nothing cute. Just aim and fire. Dead-eye accuracy borne of growing up listening to the greats of roc and pop in a small Victorian Western district town. A musical education, or baptism, experienced by many, cultivated by a few. Dave's gifts - the very last word he'd use - are an addiction to the authentic and an ear for hooks.
For this very special show, Dave has reassembled the Electric Horns led by Anthony Foon on trumpet and has drafted in Mitchell Geddes to accompany long term Midnight Electrician Daryl Johnson on keyboards. DWME stalwarts Neil Salmon, Tim Cavanagh and Rob Barber complete the lineup and the night will feature songs from the newly released compilation 20012-2022 A Decade of widescreen rock n roll.
Special guest supports will be Americana troubadour Matt Joe Gow and Little Wise (solo) and with Bec Chapman compering the night, a surprise DJ spinning all your favorite Christmas classics and gifts for some lucky punters from DW's XMAS tree. It promises to be the perfect way to commence your festive season!
