Get ready for Blues and Brews

Get ready for Blues and Brews – a night of rocking blues and tasty brews in The Brewery at the Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Saturday 29 October. Grab your mates for this awesome line-up with Mason Rack Band, Minnie Marks and Sunshine Blues Band.

Doors open at 5.30pm with music starting at 6pm, and a Craft Beer Bar to keep you refreshed for what is sure to be an epic night.

Blues rock powerhouse Mason Rack Band have played more than 3000 live shows and appeared at many of Australia’s leading festivals including Byron Bluesfest, Blues On Broadbeach, Gympie Muster, Adelaide International Guitar Festival and Airlie Beach Music Fest (just to name a few) – as well as festivals in Germany, Netherlands, Italy and Canada.

The raspy vocals of lead frontman Mason Rack have been described by fans as one of the sexiest voices in the blues music scene with flashes from Tom Waits and Led Zeppelin.

As far as live performance Mason Rack Band are entertainment monsters. Their drum duels, on-stage antics and signature movements set them apart from everything and everyone else.

Minnie Marks is not just some blazingly electrified guitar playing freak of nature. She is also a rare and triple threat: singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist.

Relentlessly gigging across the globe, Marks consistently pushes musical limits with her mind-blowing, dynamic guitar wizardry and her insanely powerful voice, that roars out her truth through song as if her own life depended on it. And, if that’s not enough, simultaneously, creates bone marrow shaking grooves with spare limbs on her foot drum kit. All three beasts are married together to forge a mammoth sized wall of sound.

From winning the world renowned ‘Bluesfest Busking Competition’ in 2011, to taking out the People’s Choice Award’ at both Blues At Bridgetown and Nannup Music Festival, plus earning the winning place of ‘Best Guitarist’ for the Open Arms Festival competition, Marks is no stranger on the block.

The Sunshine Blues Band sprang out of a desire to play some blues that are a little bit different. They offer stripped down, upbeat, rhythm inspired music, rooted in Chicago and branching out to Texas, LA and beyond and melded to create a pure feel-good boogeyin’ blues experience!

They are a four-piece blues band featuring Russ Babcock on vocals and harmonica, Stix Malone on drums, Tony Vobr on bass and Chris Roberts on guitar.

TICKETS: $30 (+ booking fee) through Oztix. 18+ event.
