Dave Hole
“Slide guitar virtuoso”
Dave Hole is Australia's premier internationally successful bluesman and a highly acclaimed slide guitar virtuoso. He first burst onto the international scene in 1991 with Short Fuse Blues, the first of his seven albums released on the prestigious Alligator Records label.
He is widely regarded as one of the all time slide guitar greats whose playing is infused with the spirit of such legends as Elmore James, Duane Allman and Johnny Winter.
Nine successful albums (including the ARIA-award winning Under the Spell) and countless tours of the U.S. and Europe have solidified Hole’s stature as one of the very best slide guitarists playing today and sees him headlining festivals in America, Germany, Denmark, Holland, France, Poland, Russia and Switzerland. His two performances at the prestigious Leverkussen Blues Festival in Germany were televised nationally.
Hole’s records and live performances are jam packed with soaring slide guitar and passionate vocals. "Nothing interferes with Hole's searing guitar when he is in full flight," says Rolling Stone.
