Upcoming Events

We edge closer to a big Sunday of blues. Empire Blues is a seasoned trio with a big sound. They are making the road trip South to Froth and we can't wait. It's a 2pm kick-off and they are followed by the much anticipated debut of South West Blues Club's own collaboration, Deadwater Pelican. Sundays don't get much better than this and to top it off the crew in the Froth kitchen are serving up the finest Southern cuisine. Blues Central is more than just great music, its a Southern style party. We'll see you all there.

The crowd numbers are building at our monthly Blues party and June promises to be another big afternoon. We have the popular, long standing band the Cross Eyed Cats on stage. These boys also know there way around the big Perth music venues and are a frequent Perth Blues Club billing. We are team tagging them with Smokin' Joe, so it will be 3 hours of solid pumping music. Don't forget to bring your membership key rings with you as you are entitled to 10% discount on the Southern Style food and drinks that Froth put on specially for the party. The Hurricanes got a pounding at the last Blues Central so if you haven't tried this New Orleans rum punch then you really are missing something. See you at Blues Central.

Hold onto your hats folks because Blues Central is only a fortnight away and this show will be a biggy. We have the dynamic amalgamation of two of the South West's Blues giants, Les Karski and Paul Daly in the Karski Daly Blues band. Les' legendary guitar skills and cutting vocals combine with Paul's screaming blues harp and vocal style that has a haunting likeness to Joe Cocker. Picture that if you will, Joe Cocker on harmonica. But there is an even bigger surprise in store with this band, the rhythm section comprises our own Carl Holroyd on bass and Jayden (JD) Williamson on drums. This is a first that we all can't wait to see and hear.

Then we will experience time travel as we jet back to the 1980s when Something's Up gets on stage. Gary, Rick and Stevo are very familiar to jam day supporters and now joined by Stevo's son Mike on drums. This band (minus Mike of course) was packing the Goldfield bars and nightclubs to bursting, not just on weekends but almost every night of the week. They were a sensation from Kalgoorlie to Darwin and you are about to see why. This will be a blues sensation, an unforgettable afternoon in Bunbury, of big, heavy blues. Do not miss this. 2 pm Sunday 13th of August at Froth Craft Bunbrewery, 12 Victoria Street Bunbury and it's absolutely FREE.

It has taken us most of the year to rope in Howling Onshore but they are finally with us on stage at Blues Central in September and we are all real excited. Howling Onshore are one of the very best South West's Blues bands featuring the talented lead vocalist Lindsay Baker and 'guitarist extraordinaire' Steve Checker. Lindsay is an accomplished sax and harmonica player freely exchanging one for the other even during one song. Steve's silky guitar playing is legendary in the Margaret River area where these boys mainly hang.
The supporting club band is eNjoy. Yes we had them kick the year off but there has been a lot of water under the bridge since then. Neil, Jude and Leigh were the support band for Eric Bibb when he played in Bunbury earlier this year and they are possibly the club's most active musicians with gigs almost every week. September will be another 'not to be missed' show, three hours of great blues.

A change of plan folks. Big Town Players are now booked for December and instead on Sunday we have the fabulous Louis Rebeiro and the Blues Machine. For those who missed these teenage wonders in March, now is your chance to see these guys on stage. To follow we have everyone's favourites, Jimmy and the Survivors. See you on Sunday.

The South West Blues Club 2023 AGM will be held 11am-12pm on Sunday 15 October 2023 at Froth Brewery 12 Victoria Street Bunbury (i.e. immediately prior to the October jam day).

The AGM is an important time for us to come together as a club, reflect on the year that has been and elect our committee and office bearers for the following year. Please come along to help celebrate what we’ve achieved in 2022/23 and decide upon the structure of our committee for 2023/24.
