House of Blues - Jam Night

IVOR SIMPSON-KENNEDY is one of a new generation of exciting young blues talents to emerge from his Sydney hometown. Owning a characteristically dark, smoke-filled voice and liquid smooth guitar stylings, he utilises these inherent skills to give his compositions a striking originality, paying homage to generations past while bringing a remarkably fresh approach to the table. A deliciously deep groove runs through his barebones approach, with strains of reggae, soul, and rock vying for their moment in a bevy of blues. With 2 previous album releases breaking into both Australian Blues and Roots Charts and the Top 5 of North American Roots Report Charts, and favourable reviews in leading US publications, Ivor has already commanded wide attention. He has enjoyed top billing over the past 15 years at major local Blues festivals and renown international venues. Whether transporting his listeners to a heaving juke joint, a candlelit club, or a dusty Caribbean seaside shack, Ivor has the ability to draw live audiences of all generations into his music – and keep them there.
