Mossy Fogg + Midnight Jammers

Mossy Fogg | 7.30pm

Perth swamp lords Mossy Fogg have been stomping down the hallways of the WA music scene and beyond since their formation in 2014.
Vocalist Turin Robinson was already something of an industry veteran by this time, and the initial line-up came together to band up on his solo songs. They evolved, however, into a rusty mix of rock, blues, roots, folk and scrap iron that is collectively known as Mossy Fogg.
There’s a damn big voice in that there Robinson’s throat. It’s been fuelled by whisky and a life told in song. His growl is underscored by Dom Barrett’s weaving, stabbing guitar and the hell-broke-loose rumble of Callum Morrison’s bass and Andy Pearson’s drum set.
The results are real, raw and thoroughly alluring. Triple j’s Dave Ruby Howe in a four-star review for Weeping Willow stated it was ‘so authentic it ought to come with its own moonshine’. ABC Country Music Programmer/Producer, Kath Devaney was equally effusive, proclaiming, ‘… the swamp is missing an angel! This is smart psychedelic prog swamp blues rock and I had no idea Perth was harbouring the next great Australian band’.
Weeping Willow was also nominated for a WAM Song Of The Year award in the ‘Blues & Roots’ category and featured on Mossy Fogg’s second EP Stagnant, which they pulled from their ever-mutating swamp in 2021. At odds with its title, the EP represented a rebirth of the band, with an evolved line-up and a bigger sound to match.
They are influenced by – but not beholden to – Tom Waits, Timber Timbre, Hozier and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, bringing elements of noisful beauty and rough charm into their compelling live shows.

Midnight Jammers | 9.00pm

It sounds like a fantastic night for diehard blues fans! John Smoker and the Midnight Jammers are well-known for their deep roots in the Western Australian blues scene, and a tribute to Willie Dixon – the architect of the Chicago Blues sound – is a perfect match for this band.
For those planning to attend or looking for more context on this performance, here is a quick breakdown of what to expect. Willie Dixon was more than just a bassist; he was the primary songwriter during the Chess Records era, penning classic hits for Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Little Walter, Koko Taylor, and many more. You can expect the Jammers to dive into a classics like, I’m Ready, Three Hundred Pounds, I Ain’t Superstitious and many more.
Breathing new life into timeless tracks, John Smoker and the Midnight Jammers are set to deliver a performance that honours the blues legend, while showcasing their own impressive skills and musicianship. Expect new grooves, fun arrangements, and a whole lot of passion and stage presence.
