(I.Bland)
Melbourne singer-songwriter and poet Ian Bland has been performing under various guises since the late seventies, blending a diverse range of musical influences with insightful stories drawn from contemporary rural and urban Australia and beyond.
Topics as diverse as drought and the demise of suburban pubs, from singles bars to the trenches of the Somme, satire sits comfortably with a healthy smattering of murder ballads.
He has gained a loyal following over the last ten years for ‘Bland on Bland’ presenting a poem weekly on Melbourne radio’s 3RRR, and has spruiked his verse in concert halls, ballrooms, The National Gallery, coal vaults, festivals, pubs, cemeteries, even the steps of Parliament.
