Blues duo, The Resonators turn the pages back to the haunted railroad melodies and cotton - field choruses that defined the Mississippi Delta area during the early nineteen-hundreds.

A ghostly junction of hobo - folk, crossroad sermon and ramblin' man romance, the father - son act aren't afraid to tell you how it is and deliver the raw and brutal truth of 1930's Delta Blues tradition.

With an impressive swag of genuine blues tools - some of which are almost 100 years old - and a list of influences that reads like a Mississippi Delta almanac, The Resonators will bring out the dirty old bluesman in you...... even if you ain't one.

The duo are in the process of booking shows for 2008 and samples of their music can be heard on the music page of this site. please feel free to contact them via the contacts page.

Jnr.

Jarrad (Jnr) Bowles was born in 1986 and raised in the South-West Australian town of Bunbury growing up surrounded with music. He started learning the guitar at the age of 13 and quickly developed a passion for the instrument. Jarrad played in small acoustic-based outfits around the South-West region of Australia between 2001 and 2005 with other local South-West musicians. The sounds of lap slide guitar and delta blues had always been a large influence on the playing technique Jarrad developed and at the age of 19 began to learn music by the likes of Charlie Patton, Bukka White and Robert Johnson. Around 2001 Jarrad started teaching guitar in Bunbury and taught in Perth for a year in 2007. Now at the age of 21 Jarrad is returning to playing live, with as much passion as the day he started.

Greg Bowles was born in 1961 in Gippsland in Victoria and moved to Western Australia 1984. Greg was always interested in guitar but it wasn't until he first heard the music of the great Mississippi artists that he knew what he wanted to do with the guitar and set about learning how to play delta Blues. In 1996 he began to perform and was given the 'Best New And Emerging Talent' award at the Bridgetown Blues festival that year. As well as playing at Blues at Bridgetown, Greg has also played at Vintage Blues Albany, Nannup Folk Festival, Lake Clifton Rhythm and Blues Festival and the West coast Roots and Blues Festival.
