House of Blues - Tues Jun 24th

BLUES JAM NIGHT

Feature act: ROD PAINE & THE FULLTIME LOVERS

ROD PAINE & THE FULLTIME LOVERS – fresh from their second year at Blues on Broadbeach QLD by popular demand, wowing the festival crowds again, this 5-piece class act return to the MBAS House of Blues stage. The Fulltime Lovers are one of the most popularly requested Feature Act appearances at MBAS. Still cooking up a music stew based on dirty electric Blues, Roots and R&B of the early sixties, with splashes of Country balladry, Gospel, Americana and Rock n Roll. This award winning outfit enjoyed wide acclaim with their last Blues/Roots chart-topping album success “Dirt on Velvet”. Now, their newly released album Live Dirt - "Live at Port Noarlunga Blues Festival” is even bigger proof the music evolution of this great mainstay act. 

Out front on vocals and harmonica, the charismatic ROD PAINE is a stylish showman with one of the most soulful and inspiring voices in this land. Charming audiences for over 30 years, he has walked the stages throughout the country delivering a sound somewhere between Muscle Shoals and mid-sixties electric Blues. Add the broken-up harp sound emanating from his little 40-year-old amp, and he is hard to draw a comparison with. RAY TULLY and TONY HARWOOD form a dynamic rhythm section that is the backbone of the act. Performing together for over 34 years, this tight rhythm unit has graced various Roots music line-ups such as The Sensational Rocket 88’s, The Redliners, The Detonators and Straight 8’s to name just a few. In 2014, the extraordinary CO TIPPING joined the lineup to take over guitar duties, wielding the Fender Stratocaster in his inimitable style. The later addition to the lineup of MICHAEL SHANNON on Hammond organ has entrenched him as an indispensable part of the band and the ‘The Fulltime Lovers’ sound.

As a hugely popular act across the local scene plus an ongoing sought-after, crowd-pleasing headliner at festivals and events – Rod Paine & The Fulltime Lovers are an experience not to be missed. Book in quick – the seats wont last long!
