The finest roots artists in Australia, including Dom Turner (Backsliders), Ian Collard (Collard Greens & Gravy), Susannah Espie (Git), Kevin Bennett (The Flood), Nick Rheinberger, The Blues Preachers, Jeremy Edwards, Johnny Cass, Syd Green, and James Haselwood, gather to celebrate legendary blues player Robert Johnson. Legendary blues musician Robert Johnson lived fast and died young... Like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Brian Jones, Kurt Cobain , Amy Winehouse and Jim Morrison, Robert Johnson was just 27 years old when he died mysteriously in Greenwood, Mississipi, in 1938. He left a musical legacy that shaped the face of modern music. Johnson's songs have been covered by ERIC CLAPTON, LED ZEPPELIN, ROLLING STONES, BOB DYLAN, and CREAM, to name but a few. Johnson was a man who was so driven to succeed he reportedly sold his soul to the Devil at the Crossroads for a talent that was unequaled. Legend has it that Johnson gave his guitar to the devil at the Crossroads in Mississippi and the Devil tuned his guitar and told Robert that he would be able to play anything. Clapton describes Johnson body of work as 'A lifetimes work for any musician'. Most would agree. Come and help celebrate this night of great blues music with some rare footage and recreated scenes of the life of Robert Johnson.
