IN A BIT OF A STATE channels the music and inspirations of Bob Dylan, taking a voyage of discovery from Mississippi hill country to the dimly lit bars of Chicago, haunted by the sounds of Howlin' Wolf and Tom Waits.

Accompanying Rob are Ian Jennings on double bass, Lucy Piper on drums and Adam Sweet on guitar. While all are established artists in their own right, this will be the band's debut performance.

Support will be from The Steve Dow and Jim Rintoul Duo.

To close the evening there will be a Blues Jam, led by the house band 'Rhythm Doctors' with special guests Richard Pickle, Jonathan Pickle and Ray Kemp.

Tickets will be on sale from Ashburton Arts.
