   About PHIL PARA
Phil Para is an outstanding guitarist/ singer/ songwriter and undoubtedly one of the most exciting performers in Australia. Phil’s distinctive guitar talents push all the boundaries and are combined with exceptional vocal abilities and a powerful stage presence. His energetic performance includes a remarkable degree of showmanship such as playing with his teeth and behind his head. Phil earns great respect from his peers and audiences alike and attracts a cult-like following wherever he plays. New Zealander, Phil Para was already a professional musician at age 9 playing drums in his parent’s band and at 12 he began to teach himself guitar. Proving to be a natural and with Jimi Hendrix as his absent mentor and inspiration Phil’s talent soon grew to the point where he could accurately replicate the playing and vocal styles of the guitar greats including Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, & Carlos Santana to name a few. Phil writes many original songs, which draw from a diverse range of music with blues, jazz, Latin and rock influences fusing into a style of his own. Phil’s performances combine original music with covers to create an exciting stage show that never fails to enthral. Based in Australia for many years now, Phil claims vast and loyal audiences of an incredibly varied mix of ages and backgrounds that have allowed him to work at least three residencies a week plus many other shows as well. Phil released his first CD “MESSAGE” in 2000 and has another currently in production. Renowned both locally and internationally many artists including Prince, Eric Burdon, Deep Purple & Metallica have all made a point catching Phil’s gigs when they have been in Melbourne. ..

It sits near a sign that says "No Helmets" /

The casting couch is a ubiquitous thing /

Like indian-givers and mobile phone rings /

Friday October 23rd – Lee Rosser + TH3, live @ The Pub, Bendigo VIC

 

This will be one of THE VERY LAST SHOWS to be staged in the famed Band Room of The Pub (173 Hargreaves Street Bendigo), as it will be closing it's doors on Oct 31st.

Sadly, the well-sized band room, which has seen some fantastic nights for live music in Bendigo, will be closed due to lack of punter support over recent times.

Show Gav and the rest of the gang at The Pub that the live music scene in Bendigo is alive and kicking... come along and check out a brilliant night of blues & roots music besides, as the mighty Lee Rosser makes a long-awaited return to Bendigo!

Don't miss this opportunity to see some of the finest blues/roots/rock music Victoria has to offer!
