Party for a Dead Man

Tim Hulsman was born in Tasmania as one of six children raised in a devout Jehovah’s Witness family. When he turned 18, he informed his parents that he no longer wished to follow the family’s way and instead wanted to follow his musical desires. He was excommunicated. But a snippet of an interesting life, Hulsman released Dead Man’s Garden in 2014.
Blurring the borders of blues, folk, alt-country and rock, the album is roundly shaped by his experiences. 2015 his journey continues, now as one third of the Tim Hulsman Trio, with Karl Bentley on drums and Craig Kelly on upright bass. More recently, the trio dropped the video for the titular track and will be celebrating with sumptuous style in Geelong later this month. Tim: “We’re going all out to throw the biggest, most decadent, sexy, and awesome party we’ve ever hosted, to celebrate the incredible effort that UP Creative has put in to deliver a remarkable, lavish and unbelievably high quality music video. I’m so proud I could burst. We will be joined once again by the stunning Burlesque dancers from the clip and we will be trying to create a luxurious Dionysian atmosphere, so that you can feel for an evening like you are there in that crazy world we created in the clip.” Workers Club, Geelong – November 21.
