Kevin Smith and The Seven Storey Jumpers

About Me

We are a 6 piece rock and roll band with strong blues and country influences.
Here's what people are saying
"A self effacing bunch of older guys who claim it is all about getting together to drink beer and play music for the hell of it but the reality is that these guys can belt out full on rock and country music, showing the young'ns a thing or two with an impressively full sound, powered by three guitars" Steve Groves - Xpress Magazine
"Kevin Smith could do with sharpening up his voice. At the worst of times, vocal parts were repetitive and seemed a little unworthy of the gathered audience's attention." Bradley Stevens - Drum Media Magazine
"...look and sound like a mining operation in action." Unknown punter
"Kevin Smith's love-making is at the worst of times repetitive and a little unworthy of the audience's attention." Kevin's ex-girlfriend
"a real rock band, no pretensions, just heart, 'love that!" Rick the super sound guy from The Fly By Night and Perth Blues Club
"Kevin Smith and The Seven Storey Jumpers continued to rock the Fly By Night with their hard-rocking, swampy blues. The band was a polished and professional group with two blazing lead guitars, while frontman Kevin Smith was comfortable on stage and easily built a rapport with the audience. Abbe May joined for a special guest spot mid-way through the set and gave a preview of things to come with some soul-searing support vocals"...cissi tsang
Featuring at different times members of Wayne Green and the Phantoms, The Drivers, The Bad Seeds, The Bayou Brothers, The Kill Devil Hills, The Automasters, Grinderman and with special guests like Jean Guy Lemure, Alex Archer and anyone else we can drag up on stage we will always try to be a little different every gig we do.
