Sweet Baby James & Rob Eyers

Dirgy, swampy & bluesy as hell!!!!

About Me

We're from Adelaide, SA. We've both been playing blues here and overseas and are currently playing as much around Australia as possible. We've had some awesome gigs in the last twelve months including WOMADelaide, Australian Blues Music Festival (of which I was the official ambassador) and Queenscliff Music Festival Blues Train. We've got an album out on Black Market Music called "Rhythm 'n' Blues" which was nominated for 'Best Album' at the Australian Blues Awards in 2006.
