CEDRIC BURNSIDE 2020 – CANCELLED

Please be advised that remaining Cedric Burnside shows at Caravan Music Club, Northcote Social Club, Theatre Royal in Castlemaine and The Gov have been cancelled due to today’s (Wednesday 18 March) government announcement banning non essential gatherings over 100 people. A refund will be issued to all ticket holders. As a supporter of live events, and the wider industry of artists, crew, agents, managers, venues, hospitality workers and all those people whose livelihoods depend on the industry, we ask for your support and patience at this time. Thanking you in advance.

Love Police are delighted to announce Cedric Burnside will return to Australia in March 2020 for a 15 date national tour and will play shows in NSW, Victoria, ACT, South Australia, Northen Territory,  Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania. 

The Grammy-nominated 39-year-old still lives on several acres not far from the Holly Springs, Mississippi, home where he was raised by “Big Daddy,” his grandfather, the late singer/songwriter/guitarist R.L. Burnside whom Cedric famously played with, just as his own father, drummer Calvin Jackson, did. Cedric was literally born to the blues, more specifically, the “rhythmically unorthodox” Hill country variant which emerged from Mississippi, where he grew up surrounded (and influenced) by Junior Kimbrough, Jessie May Hemphill and Otha Turner, as well as delta musicians T-Model Ford and Paul “Wine” Jones.
