This Friday 15th September sees the 2nd annual Blues Weekender festival get underway at The Vault Arts Centre and opening night looks set to be a belter with one of Scotland's busiest grassroots live acts, Three Card Trick originally from Dumfriesshire, performing with support from Easy Does It!
Three Card Trick
Three Card Trick are a blues influenced rock trio originally from Dumfrieshire in Scotland comprising brothers Gary (guitar/vox) and Dean (bass/vox) Johnstone with Gibby Gibson (drums).
With influences ranging from Stevie Ray Vaughan, AC/DC, John Mayer, Eric Clapton etc, the band’s sound is rooted in classic rock and with a pronounced nod to modern guitar heroes as well as the original blues artists who started it all.
Having 20 years experience in the music industry, Three Card Trick have recently completed successful tours of France, Spain and USA promoting their original albums. Gary appeared on Chicago's JBTV in Oct 2019 plus UK supports with the Darkness and Wheatus and USA shows with Manny Torres and Mike Wheeler Band.
