Direct from Memphis – Eric Gales at Blues on Broadbeach

Widely regarded as one of the best blues guitarists in the world, Eric Gales will be showcasing his blistering talent at Blues on Broadbeach for the first time in 2025, thanks to Memphis Tourism. 

 

Eric first picked up a guitar at age four, and despite being right-handed, was taught by his left-handed big brother and learnt to play the instrument upside down. 45 years, 19 albums and countless gigs later, he consistently stuns audiences with his gravelly vocals, musical prowess and unshakeable stage presence. 

He’s been nominated for a Grammy award, has shared the stage with legends like Carlos Santana and plays the kind of guitar solos that make the hairs on your arms stand up. It’s not just music you hear, but music you feel. Don’t miss the chance to experience it for yourself at Blues on Broadbeach where Eric Gales will be playing on the Kurrawa Park Stage at 7pm Saturday, May 17th. 

Gales hails from Memphis, known as the Home of the Blues, Soul and Rock ‘n’ Roll and the partnership between Memphis Tourism and Bluesfest has been responsible for some truly unforgettable performances at the event.
