After time away from the Mountains, Hotel Blue favourite Cletis Carr has returned and we couldn't be more excited. Singer-songwriter Cletis Carr knows a good yarn. Especially when paired with a good melody and some gritty slide guitar. Perched firmly atop the Americana / folk/blues summit, his tales of joy, heartbreak, redemption, ordinary madness and everyday heroes are draped in a rich tapestry of acoustic steel-string and resonator guitars. Raised in America to a family of country musicians, Carr first tasted success with his early 80's new wave band Sneakers, which launched a solo career that's taken him all over the planet and has seen the release of eight solo albums and numerous band projects. Over the years, he's toured and shared stages with the likes of Tom Petty, John Mellencamp, Chuck Berry, Elvis Costello, Joan Jett, Nick Lowe and Huey Lewis, just to name a few. An intended brief vacation in Australia found Carr touring with members of AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, the Easybeats, and the Saints. He toured with blues heroes, Bondi Cigars, and his bands Big Whiskey and Hillbilly Moon were both met with considerable critical acclaim.

Join Cletis Carr for his Hotel Blue return this Saturday Night, 6:30-8:30 pm. Come along early if you want a seat as it's first come, first served. Bar & Kitchen open, family-friendly, free event. Live music @ Hotel Blue is brought to you by 'Music in the Mountains'.
