Home Brew
“Home Brew is without doubt one of the best kept secrets as far as blues are concerned, in WA” (Mike Hall President of South West Blues Club - Bunbury Western Australia) Home Brew is a five-piece blues band based in the South West of WA.
Formed in 1999 the band has grown in strength to obtain a reputation as a fine Chicago style rhythm n’ blues band. The band has delighted local pub crowds and audiences at the South West Blues Club, Blues at Bridgetown, Australian Blues Music Festival, Blues at Broadbeach, Augusta river Festival, Margaret River Festival, Capel Fest and Fairbridge Music Festival with their mix of uniquely interpreted blues covers and original songs.
The performances appeal to a variety of audiences. Their solid rhythm section of Carl Holroyd – Bass and Jayden Williamson – Drums, lays down the foundation for Chris Gibb's driving harmonica, Mal Toft's fluid sax lines and Peter Chorltons tasteful mix of hard blues licks and Jazz chord voicing. The sax and harmonica combine to give an almost brass section quality to the sound.
In 2008 Home Brew took its brand of Chicago and Jump style blues to QLD to launch their much anticipated CD "Cynical Swing" at the Blues on Broadwater Festival. This was followed up in 2009 with performances at the Australian Blues Music Festival where they followed Mat Taylor and Phil Manning on stage at the prestigious Blues Music Awards night. 2009 & 2010 also saw the band Head up to Bridgetown Blues Festival for a series of well received performances.
Recent changes in the band have seen long time guitarist and Home Brew founder Ron Kinson leave the band to be replaced by Peter Chorlton and 'occasional' sixth member Al Rogers and his Texan style hot guitar playing.
Based in the South West of WA Home Brew is also the house band for the South West Blues Club. Whether backing the likes of Andy Cowan, Jan Preston and Eugene ‘Hideaway’ Bridges or commanding the stage in their own right, they deliver a toe tappin, hip swinging sound that is sure to get you jumping. Playing a fine brand Home Brew delivers a high-energy, crowd pleasin’ performance.
CD ‘Cynical Swing’ available now!
