House of Blues - Tues Apr 1st

BLUES JAM NIGHT

Feature act: PHIL COYNE & THE WAYWARD ACES

PHIL COYNE & THE WAYWARD ACES bring the raw intensity of Chicago Blues, together with the infectious rhythms of rockabilly swing, and the edgy drive of garage surf, to deliver a sound both powerful and irresistible. Driven by Phil’s brassy, honking harp, the band strikes a balance between raw intensity and measured restraint, building tension with every note. Their mix of tight musicianship and unfiltered exuberance ensures The Wayward Aces never fail to get audiences moving. High-energy, full-throttle live performances around Melbourne's live music circuit, plus appearances at legendary venues like The Blues Train, and on festival stages at Bruthen Blues n Roots and Mitchell Creek Rocking Blues Festival have kept thisoutput in audience view.

Their 2023 EP Sound and Fury hit the charts in Australia and the US, and were finalists for Band at the 2023 VICTAS Blues Music Awards. Following this, their 2024 self-titled album debuted to rave reviews and chart success, cementing them as a rising force in the Blues scene. The band's latest album recorded last year and just released – Live at the Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society, really captures the band's live energy and spirit.

"If you have a penchant for harmonica players who make the damn think wail, Coyne and his mates are worth a listen."  David Osler – Blues Matters magazine
