‘Perth Folk and Roots Club is starting a new year with the continued support of City of Stirling and we will be celebrating that support with the Western Suntones and Robbie Jalapeno ‘, said Keith Anthonisz, President of the Perth Folk and Roots Club.

The Western Suntones were formed in 2009 in Fremantle and are a country/blues roots based alt country Americana band currently playing in and around Perth WA. The bands 'Long Way Home' album was nominated for Album of the Year at the WA Country Music awards at Boyup Brook and they also performed at the Boyup Brook Country Music Festival. The line-up as a trio is Chris Harwood, acoustic upright bass/vocals, Steve Smith acoustic guitar/mandolin/vocals, and Jeff Barham - Acoustic/Electric guitar, mandolin, Dobro and vocals. Chris has been on the scene for a while in various original, rock and blues bands, most notably The Rockin Avocados of old Steve’s Hotel days, and blues bands The Moneymakers with Mark Vine, Bayou Brothers and Tin Dog. Steve “Hayseed” Smith is the Carl Perkins aficionado of the Western Suntones and Jeff provides Dobro sliding, Mandolin massaging, guitar picking.
 
Robbie Jalapeno is the founder of The Faceless Bureaucrats in 2010 and combines acoustic guitar with funk. His fellow musicians reflect the diverse nature of his music with support players having classical backgrounds, independent band backgrounds and cabaret. Robbie Jalapeno and The Faceless Bureaucrats have released three singles, and an album called ‘Songs About Nothing’. Their music has been described as ‘the sound of a dingy cellar café at midnight, glass of rouge in hand, smoke trailing around the stage’ in a review by Cam Findlay of themusic.com.au.

‘As always we are also looking for up and coming artists to do a few numbers for the audience’, Keith added.

Please note the Inglewood Bowling and Sports Club is hosting the Perth Folk and Roots Club as a free event for its members and guests with memberships offered at a very reasonable cost to Perth Folk and Roots Club supporters.
