Stumptown | 7.30pm

The jump blues boys from the deep south are back in town. This time with a mountain of gigs and two albums under their belt.  Martin Boyd pulls the big wires, Rod McCosker, pounds the skins, (he’s the youngster of the bunch),  Ron Kinson, an extraordinary guitar player, with delightful silky guitar skills and front man, ‘Hound Dog’ Dave Bassett provides the gravel edged vocals and a screaming blues harp. Their latest album, You Got To Pay,  features two tracks with harmonica protégé Elwood Birgden and Elwood will be joining the boys on stage for the night. “If you ain’t stomping your feet and shaking your booty by the end of the first song, then someone needs to check your pulse.”

Whiskey Nips | 8.45pm

Like a good Nip of Whiskey, The Blues eventually needs to be drank. It’s been bottled up for years and now the shots are on us. This rich tapestry of blues is blended from single riffs from the dirty South with hints of pure notes from the Highlands. Come and get your shot of the Blues.
