Sunshine Blues Band

The Sunshine Blues Band pump out their own authentic brand of stripped down, upbeat, rhythm inspired music, rooted in Chicago and branching out to Texas, LA and beyond. They feature blistering harmonica and compelling vocals from Russ Babcock combining perfectly with the clean rhythms and tasty licks of Chris Roberts (guitar) and Marc Chadwick (keys). Stix Malone on drums, and Tony Vobr on bass provide the engine room that drives this dance-friendly outfit, fusing traditional blues rhythms with jazz and rock. This band knows how to deliver, bringing together decades of experience earned in venues from Perth to Brisbane, NZ, the US and London!

We have our own PA and other equipment. If using equipment supplied by the venue we would need to discuss requirements

We play a range of material from the Blues Masters; Little Walter, Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf Sonny Boy Williamson, Jimmy Rogers and T-Bone Walker, up through more recent blues material by artists such as Taj Mahal, Albert Collins, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Rod Piazza, The Red Devils, Freddy King, Billy Branch and many others
