03.01.2022 AUSMUSIC TSHIRT DAY Feature: Kevin Borich Kevin Borich is a man with 52 years of professional experience behind him, a man who was invited onstage to jam with Santana more than once; a man who has shared the stage with Bo Didley, Richie Blackmore (Deep Purple), Ron Wood (Rolling Stones), John Mayall, Taj Mahal, Living Colour, Joe Walsh, Canned Heat, and has opened shows for Elton John, Status Quo, Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy and Peter Frampton plus two AC/DC shows in the USA, a man ...who topped the Australian Rock Music Guitar Awards twice in the 70’s, and now always mentioned in the top 10. Crowds that turn up for Kevin Borich performances are a mixture of generations and attitudes. There are the younger musicians that are left pondering just how three performers can create such inescapable sounds of electrifying Rock Blues & Funk. There are the old rockers, with their long hair and relaxed stance seeming to be the epitome of cool. There are young blues fans: guys and girls who know the words to his songs, dancing manically enjoying themselves, then there are the people from the indie regime who are curious to see if it is true what they have heard, that a guitarist song writer with a career spanning 52 years can transcend his rock based funk 'n' blues boundaries into the realms of their world. The band he has features the wonderful talents of Jon Carson Drums and vocals, plus Chris Gilbert bass and vocals, both seasoned musicians with A team Status. In the lead up to Aus Music T-Shirt Day, you can grab yourself a T-Shirt on Borich's website here: https://www.kevinborich.com.au/ and head to the South East Queensland North Music Industry Network team fundraiser page to donate to Support Act here: http://www.ausmusictshirtday.org.au//south-east-queensland
