Fiona Boyes is unarguably Australia’s most accomplished and greatest blues export to date. Since becoming the first Australian and the first woman to win the prestigious International Blues Challenge in Memphis in 2003, she has been firmly embraced by the US blues scene. Piano legend “Pinetop” Perkins said of her, “I ain’t never heard a woman finger‑pick a guitar like that since Memphis Minnie. She’s the best gal guitar player I heard in more than 35 years.”
