Join the throng on Friday, October 23 at 7.30pm when you can revel in the best of the Blues and a motherlode of home town Roots music from these two fantastic bands.
Multiple award-winning Blues artist Darren Jack has been electrifying audiences with his signature powerhouse Rock 'n' Blues and original music for the last twenty years. Jack has taken out five Australian Blues Music Awards and has won the Sydney Blues Challenge an unprecedented two times, in 2012 (Band category) and in 2014 (Solo category). He has represented Australia in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee in 2013, and also in 2015. His music will take you from blistering, gut wrenching blues to smooth melodies that will soothe your soul. Jack's honesty and commitment are the real deal.
The Swamp Stompers play funky rock and blues with heavy grooves. Emerging from the dirty backwaters of the NSW Mid North Coast, the band sounds like the musical lovechild of John Butler Trio, Led Zeppelin and Red Hot Chili Peppers, with three-part harmonies, catchy guitar riffs, and didgeridoo soundscapes setting this original blues-rock trio apart from the pack. Since this fateful merging of musical minds, the powerhouse trio has stomped their mark on prominent Australian festivals including Caloundra Music Festival (QLD), Blues at Bridgetown (WA), the Thedbo Blues Festival and the Sydney Blues and Roots Festival.
Since you haven't been able to see the Blues fests, we're bringing them to your door. It's going to be a great night of cracking originals as well as some well-loved covers in the hands of master musos, so make it to the MEC. Book: theMEC.com.au or phone 6592 5466 during Box Office hours Tuesday to Friday 10am - 1pm.
