About Me

In the beginning there were musicians like BB King, Junior Wells, John Lee Hooker, Booker T & The MG's, John Fogerty, and Peter Green. Now, In the great tradition of real bluesmen we present The Blues Bombers!
The Australian Folk and Roots scene has exploded in recent years with bands such as The Detonators, Johnny Greens Blues Cowboys, The Red Hot Poker Dots, and The Re-mains packing dancehalls, festivals, and public houses all over the country. Joining these hard touring, hard living musicians, direct from the mangrove swamps of Steel City Newcastle comes the Blues Bombers. Conjured up with some serious coal-face voodoo by Australia's giant of the Boogie Bass 'Gravelmouth' Mick King Jr, the bombers feature the best swing.blues.swamp.rock'n'roll musicians in the country. Josh 'fingers' Callaway ..s, "Killer" on guitar & Kerry Miller on drums. The unmistakable vocals and genuine musicianship of the Blues Bombers provides the authentic howling sound of a thousand Bayou thunderstorms.
Whether you are a methamphetamine fueled long haul truck driver, or a tee-totaling southern spinster, you know that no-one plays 100+ shows a year without a damned good reason, so pack your bags grab a beer and kick start the foot-falcon on over to a Blues Bombers show near you.
The Blues Bombers specialise in unique interpretations of classic swing.blues.swamp.rock&roll tunes, littered with choice Cajun morsels of The Blues Bombers genuine originals. The success of their debut album 'Live From The Wickham Park Hotel' led to the current studio project of a full length album due out late 2007.
