Biography
If you like your piano loud, your vocals loaded, your beer cold and your tv 80's, then let me introduce Graham Hobson & the BRS! Your friendly neighbourhood axe-wielding pianoman and his band of merry minstrels hit the shelves in 2007 with their debut album Hairbrained Scheme; then hit the streets taking their live show across Queensland.
The recent BRS BUZZ includes:
- the ballad Townsville winning the 2007 International Narrative Song Competition
- Topping the Triple J Unearthed Pop Chart with Chemistry, Waiting For The Sun and Holiday at number 1, 2 and 3 consecutively (18th Nov 2007)
- Song placements for Super Cool and Human Nature in Canadian hit tv show Chris and John To The Rescue
- An Artist Spotlight feature on music industry website Sonicbids in December 2007
- Huge live shows at the Woodford Folk Festival in December 2007 and the Hairbrained Scheme Album Launch at Barsoma (Brisbane) in August 2007. Footage taken from the launch is featured in the Holiday flim clip. Check it out at www.grahamhobsonbrs.com (downloads tab)
- Upcoming shows at the Spirit Of A City Celebration Concert at Riverway (Townsville) 8th March 2008 and the Clive Peeters Paws Infront Gala Dinner at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre 11th April 2008.
Described by Faster Louder as a "profound Elton John" and by others as, uh, never mind - Graham's groovy tunes will have you singing out LOUD! Here is what the critics have had to say.
"Every song on the album is catchy and easy to get hooked on."
- Isys Symes , Townsville Bulletin 27th Sept 2007
"Once again, I am gobsmacked by the talent sitting in our own backyard. Chemistry is a standout treat that makes me wonder why this guy isn't signed yet"
- Jenliza, Tsunami Magazine Sept 2007
Graham has cut his teeth playing piano bars for over a decade at Australia's finest and downright scariest venues. Performing over 150 gigs a year a feature of his shows is an diverse playlist will keep you on the hop from go to whoooooooa!
"With exquisite showmanship, Hobson masterfully led the band through a composite of original tunes and a few artfully transcribed covers…the audience was held spellbound as the bouncing rhythms and familiar grooves exhorted them to dance dance dance!"
