The Shane Pacey Trio

"The guitar and voice of The Bondi Cigars and The Foreday Riders is bringin' it back home."

In a time when blues is in great danger of being swallowed by the all-encompassing term “roots music,” the very concept of a blues band seems to be almost a quaint idea. Shane Pacey Trio are that rare (and becoming rarer!) thing. A dedicated blues band, rather than a solo star with supporting musicians. Although Shane’s other band, The Bondi Cigars is still very much a going concern, Shane felt the strong urge to revisit the music that turned him on when he first started playing, such as the guitar playing/singing of Peter Green and the short sharp style coming out of Chess Records in the 50’s and 60s.

Shane states “The main aim is to create something totally different to The Cigars” but rather "A no-nonsense trip through blues’ back pages, all played with Shane’s customary attack and passion" .
Along with well known Sydney based Rhythm Section—Paul Blasi on bass. Paul is one of this towns’ most respected players with an expanse of knowledge and talent to add to our Blues world.

Dave Fester on drums. The engine room is complete. Dave has had 3 decades of Blues n’ Roots.
The trio’s goal is to produce a big sound that aims for the soul and the feet.

"Don’t expect a polite little band tapping away in the corner," says Shane...and he means it, too.
