House of Blues - Tues Sep 23rd

BLUES JAM NIGHT

Feature act: GARRY ALLEN BLUES BAND

GARRY ALLEN BLUES BAND (GABB) present their unique style of original blues music, drawing from ancient Delta Blues with a modern sensibility, to down and dirty electric slide-driven grooves. Brimming with stories about the dark recesses of the human soul, redemption, betrayal (and even murder), the Garry Allen Blues Band will keep you entertained. 

Band leader, songwriter, vocalist and guitarist Garry Allen, has been playing blues since his apprenticeship as Chris Finnen’s (Adelaide Guitar Legend and Blues Hall of Fame recipient) rhythm guitarist in the Blues Healers back in the late 80s. Garry moved to Melbourne and in the late 90s joined CW Stoneking and The Blue Tits. CW Stoneking, one of the most successful Australian Bluesman, inspired Garry’s songwriting and playing.

GUS WHELAN is the groove machine holding down the bottom end of GABB. His inventive basslines and edgy rhythms drive the band forward and lay the foundations for outrageous riffery! Gus’s vibe permeates the band and invigorates all around him. And what can be said about drumming legend IAN ‘BULLY’ BULL? From sneaking off school to play with Russell Morris in the lats 60’s to marathon gigs with Phil Para, Bully is still an in-demand drummer. Ripping out the blues harp while coordinating drumbeats and backing vocals is all in days/night’s work for this skinsman. He’ll never retire – we won’t let him!

 A debut album from the Gary Allen Blues Band is in the works!
