GUITARIST
Graham Mittelheuser
Growing up in sugar cane country, he became hooked on Guitar, the first time he heard a Blues Shuffle. Predominantly self-taught, in the mid 90’s, Graham was offered a spot with Black Dog, a Bundaberg based blues band and played the Blues, Rock and Boogie throughout QLD. After decades of being dormant, a series of life changing off-road dirt bike accidents in 2021 and by early 2023 Graham rekindled his love of playing because in his heart, it had never left him and he has been on a mission to make up for lost time ever since. Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robben Ford and Freddie King are just a few of his most loved players. Rich Robinson, Marc Ford, and Luther Dickinson were further influences to embody his playing.
Graham has found his expression in this current band Bluez Fever and continues his journey leaving the audience wanting more of his emotion and passionate solos that cut through and shine in his playing, taking you to another dimension and level to keep you on the edge. Sharing this passion and his love, with his craft.
