It’s taken five years to get him back to tour and Bluesfest Touring is thrilled to present Booker T. Jones with special guest Valerie June in two exciting sideshows.
It can be argued that it was Booker T. Jones who set the cast for modern soul music and is largely responsible for its rise and enduring popularity. On classic Stax hits like “Green Onions,” “Hang ‘Em High,” “Time Is Tight,” and “Melting Pot” the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Musicians Hall of Fame inductee and GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award recipient pushed music’s boundaries, refined it to its essence and then injected it into the nation’s bloodstream.
He has recorded with the likes of Wilson Pickett, Ray Charles, George Harrison, Sam and Dave, Neil Young, Barbra Streisand and Bob Dylan and not to mention, he features on his special guest Bluesfest Touring artist Valerie June’s latest album released this year.
This time around Booker T. Jones will be bringing his 10th album, ‘Sound the Alarm’ (2013) which sees sparkling collaborations with some of contemporary R&B’s most gifted young voices. ‘Sound the Alarm’ also marks his historic return to Stax Records, the Memphis soul label which he began recording at while he was still in school and helped put on the map in the 1960’s. In true form it has received rave reviews:
“Sound the Alarm is the sound of summer” – The Boston Review
“Booker T. Jones is the consummate musician” – USA Today
Universally recognised as one of the true architects of American soul music, we can’t wait to welcome this legendary musician back to the Bluesfest stage.

Melbourne’s beloved filmmaking and screening collective, Beg Scream and Shout will be back in 2014, showcasing a swag full of work and collaborations at The Shadow Electric on February 13th, including live performances by Montero and Fatti Francis, along with experimental projections by Lightmares, TAM Projects, Tess Hamilton and more.
Sprouting in 2009, when a handful of local artists, musicians and filmmakers decided to screen their wares in interesting settings that would complement their films, Beg, Scream and Shout has since flourished from band rooms and art galleries around Melbourne, to it’s now, yearly location at Shadow Electric Open Air Cinema in Abbotsford Convent.
After selling out Shadow Electric in 2013, with films and performance by The UV Race, Johann Rashid, Geoffery O’Conner, Mikey Leonard and Tooth & Claw, this year, Beg, Scream and Shout is taking it one step further, with three experimental film projects commissioned specifically for Beg, Scream & Shout and accompanied by live musical performances.
Incorporating two stages, Montero will ease into the night with a psychedelic sunset show, including new animations by Ben Montero on the main stage as the bats streak across the sky. TAM Projects, Tess Hamilton and The Beg Scream and Shout Collective have teamed up with a variety of local musicians, including synth master,Gerald Wells and Avant-garde band, Glasfrosch for a handful of experimental pieces.
Closing the night inside, Brendan Harwood’s Lightmares project will meld with Fatti Francis’ experimental RnB. Customised visuals mapped to Fatti Francis’ doom-like bass, erratic and tormented beats and projected onto a 3D geometric sculptural backdrop.
Beg Scream and Shout showcases the creative forces of Melbourne’s up coming artists in a collaborative and engaging space.
Thursday 13th February
