Dutch Tilders & His Blusicians
Today DUTCH TILDERS mostly performs SOLO; although he often combines with Geoff Achison doing amazing duo chops. Dutch also likes to join forces with Greg Dodd, Rob O'Toole and Peter Beulke. All can be assured 'His Blusicians' are the Best Blues Bands coming out of Melbourne today. On February 9th Dutch Tilders became a third time winner of the Australian Blues 'Chain' Award for Best Album 2006 -- "Mine & Some I Adopted" plus Best Male Vocalist 2006. Dutch's band will perform with him at the Legends Stage at Broadbeach Festival May 19th and may they be recognised Australian wide as an awesome foursome.


Robert O'Toole -- Robert has been playing around the Melbourne scene since the early seventies and has a long association with Dutch beginning in 1977. He has graced the stage with other greats such as Matt Taylor, Phil Manning, Geoff Achison, Lloyd Spiegel, Fiona Boyes and Greg Champion (winner of the Tamworth Golden Guitar). He plays blues, rock 'n' roll, jazz, country, rhythm and blues and has recorded extensively with his own bands and various artists including Dutch Tilders. With a straight style and a full sound from the blues of Chicago to the down home honky tonks of Memphis, setting the pace with grace, the rhythm king of the pigskin is hard at work where it counts -- in the engine room -- where he gets that crankshaft turning and the blusicians accelerating.

Peter Beulke - Peter taught himself to play guitar and bass and has been playing bass since he was 12 years old. He played in bands through his school days and started playing double bass in the 1970's, influenced by Willie Dixon. Peter likes venturing into different styles of music including jazz, folk, rockabilly, blues and even classical, having spent 4 years at the Melba Conservatorium (1974-1978) studying classical guitar and double bass. He's played with international icons such as Jimmy Witherspoon, Taj Mahal, John Mayall, Dr. John and Buddy Guy. He has also played with the Melbourne Honeydrippers with Andy Baylor, rockabilly with the Crackerjacks, ska reggae with the Allniters (5 years living in Sydney), Redgum and has recorded with Russell Crowe. Pete has played with many of Australia's top guitarists including Andy Baylor and The Dancehall Racketeers, Gwyn Ashton (2 years living in and touring England and Europe), Ron Tabuteau's Chickenhead, Ben Peter's Benny and the Fly by niters, Geoff Achison's Soul diggers trio, Dutch Tilders, Co Tipping in The Lowriders and Louis King and the Liars Club, Matt Dwyer and Nick Charles. Pete's even played New Orleans trad jazz touring Europe with The Louisiana Shakers.
