Feature act Jeff and Deej
Jeff & Deej is Canberra acoustic Roots duo, Jeff Prime and Dorothy-Jane ‘Deej’ ‘DJ’ Gosper. Together they play heart-stirring original ballads and toe-tapping Traditional Blues.
Dorothy-Jane is recognised nationally for her expressive contralto vocal, honest lyrics, outstanding harmonica playing and captivating stage presence. She first hit the Folk scene in 2004 with vocal harmony trio, The Blues Cowgirls. Since then she has played countless Folk, Blues and Jazz clubs, Festivals, pubs, halls and house concerts, and released 8 albums and 2 EPs. Add Jeff’s “steeped in the Blues” resonator and wooden guitar accompaniment and you have an earthy yet sophisticated powerhouse duo that is Jeff & Deej.
On Sunday, Jeff & Deej will perform songs from their beautiful album, “Blues By Candlelight”.
