Liam Blunts Funky Rhythm Train is a 5 or 9 Piece Covers Band based in North East Victoria.
The band began in 2001 as a 4-piece funky blues band and has since evolved and had numerous line-up changes over the years.

Versatility is the band's strength with Meagan on lead vocals, Tim on drums/vocals, Michael on bass/keys/vocals and Ian and Peter the two guitarists enabling a wide variety of musical styles and songs to be performed.
With decades of experience you are guaranteed great music & great times.

Beth's Festival in Seymour, Apr 2024
The Band was absolutely sensational! They had the crowd rocking from the get go, their brilliant covers of R&B tunes made our Taste of the Goulburn Festival a very entertaining event for the circa 3,000 people who attended. Would gladly book them for any event requiring high energy and fun!
