With an effortless fusion of rock, blues, folk, roots and world music, Jarrah Thompson released his debut album, Stargazer, in 2008. From fuzzed-out guitar rock to finger-picking soul, the album led to a solid two years of touring in which Thompson performed around 300 shows. Comparison to the likes of Led Zeppelin, Van Morrison, CSNY and Santana didn’t hurt his credit, either. His second album, Rio Claro, was recorded in Brazil, named after the city in which he stayed for six weeks while on tour. Reconnecting last year, Jarrah collaborated with the Brazilian Percussion Orchestra for a series of video and audio. Goldmines Hotel, Bendigo – July 26 (in trio mode).
