Australian blues guitarist/ vocalist and key songwriter for the acclaimed Australian Blues band, Backsliders, and a member of the band Angry Tradesman, Dom Turner specialises in "bottle neck" slide guitar using resonator guitars as well as 6 & 12 string acoustic and electric guitars. Dom’s influences are many and varied – a blend of delta blues, piedmont blues, rock, dub and sounds of Asia. He is a highly regarded speaker on blues and roots music and has guested on ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) radio programs and presented music workshops at festivals and in universities (both nationally and internationally). Dom’s session guitar work can be heard on a variety of Australia albums as well as part of his own project, Dom Turner and Supro. In 2004 Dom was voted Songwriter of the Year’ at the Australian Blues Awards in Goulburn, NSW and has a sculpture in recognition of this honour at the Goulburn Visitors Centre.[1][2]
