#AgnesBluesFest is delighted to be welcoming Jack Raymond for the first time in 2024, officially kicking off all of the Festival weekend grooves alongside his duo partner Jay Bischoff.
Hailing from the snow-covered high country of northern Victoria, Jack Raymond is truly ‘the voice of the mountain’. His rootsy, relaxed, ‘Aussie-Americana’ style has a deep, laidback groove, for songs with emotional punch. Jack tells stories of his life travels, with song-craft drawing inspiration from the great wordsmiths and writers who paved the roots-music way.
California-born multi-instrumentalist Jay Bishoff adds emotive lead guitar, spicy hand percussion, harmonica and soaring vocal harmonies to Jack’s already teeming audio plate. An avid songwriter in his own right, Jay’s songs reflect his life experience, as a troubadour hitchhiker who just kept going, right ’round the globe.
This duo ‘sings from the soft bits’ with deep, rootsy groove and real impact. As well as constant tours of the east coast, together they are making a solid entrance into the Australian music scene. With recent Festival appearances at The Gympie Muster, Kiama Blues Festival, Rumble in the Junga, Buskers by the Lake (Finalist) and the Australian National Busking Competition (Finalist), #AgnesBluesFest can’t wait to welcome them both next February.
