Simon Kinny-Lewis Band

The Simon Kinny-Lewis Band (with guest Clayton Doley - keys) bring their world-class, guitar-driven, contemporary blues.

Kinny-Lewis has performed/recorded with the cream of the blues crop including Robben Ford, Chris Cain, Andy Just (BB King, Buddy Guy) Nate Ginsberg (Herbie Hancock) and many more. Not only recognised as a virtuoso guitarist but also as an impressive singer and songwriter, Simon’s approach has been described as a musical intersection in which tradition, modern flair and personal style are enriched by pure emotional release. His band features Tony Boyd (drums) and Rob Ewan (bass) - both of whom have toured with the likes of Josh Smith and Eric Stekel.

Simon’s current band album “Another Day in San Jose”, recorded at Reed’s in San Jose during his 2020 California tour has gone to #1 on the Australian Blues and Roots Airplay Charts. The album features Blues legend Robben Ford (Miles Davis, George Harrison and more) performing on Simon's new original “Dagger Eyes". It follows his previous chart-topping albums “Catfish” & “A Day In San Jose”

5-time Grammy Winner Steve Lukather (Guitarist from Toto, Michael Jackson) comments on Simon’s 2016 release ‘Street Blues’. “Great man. Your voice has a little Bonamassa in it which is cool. Love the tune too. Killer solo!”
