Mike de Velta

Australian Blues, Folk and Roots Artist

Kevin Borich, Graham Greene & Mike de Velta Live at the Charles Hotel


Decibel Events and Guitar Gods present

KEVIN BORICH EXPRESS
Decibel Events Press Release

For strictly two exclusive performances, the Borich machine screams into town on August 19 and 20, sure to render the audience captive without escape and on hand to witness the carnage of anti-matter left in the wake of this three piece juggernaut that includes Harry Brus on bass.

Joining in on the action this time around will be two of the finest Western Australian Guitar Gods, Graham Greene – with his mastery of technique, rock solid grooves laced with soaring guitar wizardry, and the ever refined Dom Mariani, the rock and roll stylist whose career has been a resplendent one in the creative stakes – a master and innovator of song and guitar on a melodious boulevard that has never faltered from distinction.

Crowds that turn up for Kevin Borich performances are a mixture of generations and attitudes that are left meditative on how three performers can create such an inescapable sound of electrifying rock.

Kevin Borich is a man with 40 years of professional experience behind him; a man who opened for AC/DC, a man who has been casually invited onstage to jam with Santana on more than one occasion; a man who has shared the stage with Bo Didley, Richie Blackmore (Deep Purple), Ron Wood (Rolling Stones), John Mayall, Taj Mahal, Living Colour, Joe Walsh and has opened shows for AC/DC in the USA, Toni Joe White, Ray Charles, Elton John, Status Quo, Jeff Beck and Buddy Guy and a man who topped the Australian Rock Music Awards twice as Best Guitarist.

Over his long career there has been an inspiring honesty and dedication about Kevin. He’s remained true to his understanding of rock’s founding principles and his commitment to live performance. When he plugs in, he roars and nobody in the room is left unaffected.

Kevin Borich Express performs at The Charles Hotel 19 August with our local Guitar Gods, Graham Greene, and Saturday 20 August with Dom Mariani and Datura at The Fly by Night Musician Club in Fremantle.

LYRICS

I am your neighbor
but I am a stranger
nobody knows me
knows my name

I’m a captive
like a bird
Im a captive
in a cage

In my reflection
I see an ol man
through dirty windows
a shadow in the rain

I’m tired of living
feel like I’m sinking
just lil ol me,and my nicotine stain
lil ol me, and my nicotine stain

What has become of my life, and my family,
Oh my wife, my loving wife
my children I can not see
can not see

What has become of my life, and my family,
Oh my wife, my loving wife
my children I can not see
can not see

No body told me
how my life would end
in such helpless misery
now I’m tired, tired and lonely
won’t somebody help me
rescue me
won’t somebody help me
and rescue me

What has become of my life, and my family,
Oh my loving wife
my children I can not see
can not see
