We met up with the brilliant Bhi Bhiman ahead of his Hey Manchester show at The Castle Hotel where he was kind enough to perform this awesome version of ACDC’s classic ‘Highway To Hell’!
Bhi Bhiman is an American original, and yet he seems transported from an era when songs were more important than the pretty faces that delivered them. His rich, bellowing tenor can soothe or explode at a moment’s notice. His lived-in, knowing delivery belies his years. His songwriting, too, is quick to captivate. Bhi’s mix of humor and deep empathy puts him in the company of distinguished (and much older) lifelong songsmiths like John Prine, Nick Lowe and Randy Newman. And Bhiman’s technical, emotive guitar playing rises to the challenge that his striking voice presents.
Brilliant! Great show too.
