The Hoodoo Men Bring Free Live Blues to Rye Hotel

Sunday afternoons on the Peninsula often spark thoughts of Summer, but this one is shaping up differently. The Winter Blues are now heating up indoors as The Hoodoo Men pull into the Verve Bar at the Rye Hotel on Sunday July 26 from 3pm with no cover charge. 

Tim Stout and the Hoodoo Men deliver powerhouse and soulful blues at its best!

If you are a fan of blues, or its traces in modern music genres, you will not want to miss Tim Stout and The Hoodoo Men, one of Victoria’s leading blues acts.

Singer and songwriter Tim Stout, and The Hoodoo Men, deliver a spell binding journey through the rich diversity of blues and its many sub genres. Tim’s powerhouse and soulful tunes range from the rich traditions of swamp, delta, and Chicago blues, through to funk, Latin and soul.

Tim is emerging as one of Melbourne's leading blues singer / songwriters, with authentic story telling expressed through a range of blues sub-genres. He performs on drums, guitar, and harp. He has been performing over 40 years with the likes of Greg Dodd, Grand Wazoo, and Scott Carne.

His solo album (Tim Stout - Live at MBAS) reached #5 on the Australian Blues Chart in 2022, and the Hoodoo Men album (Found the Blues) was top 10 in 2020.

The Hoodoo Men appear at Melbourne's leading blues venues. Tim has featured (solo or with The Hoodoo Men) at The Espy, Echuca Winter Blues Festival, Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society, Beneath Driver Lane, Hume Blues Club, Way Out West Blues & Roots, Bruthen Blues Inn, Texas Tom's Blues, and the Rainbow Hotel.
