Simon Kinny-Lewis Band + Darren Jack + Jesse Redwing

Simon Kinny-Lewis, an Australian Blues guitar phenomenon, boasts a remarkable career having performed and recorded with blues luminaries such as Robben Ford, Chris Cain, Josh Smith, Kirk Fletcher, and more. With eight albums under his belt and two more in the making, his musical journey reached new heights this year when he claimed the top spot on the Australian Blues and Roots Charts with four #1 albums.

His latest release, "King Biscuit" (2021), produced by the legendary Robben Ford and Grammy award-winning engineer Casey Wasner, is garnering international acclaim, firmly establishing Simon in the upper echelons of the blues scene. Recently, the Simon Kinny-Lewis band clinched victory at the Sydney Blues Challenge (band heat) and is set to represent Sydney at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in January 2024. The band, comprising Tony Boyd on drums, Aiden Glover on bass, and Sean Costello on harmonica, is a formidable ensemble.

To support their journey, fundraisers were organised, reflecting the community's enthusiasm for their participation in the international challenge. Joining Simon on December 16th is Jesse Redwing, sharing the bill and destined for the solo/duo heat at the International Blues Challenge alongside Kane Muir after winning the Sydney Blues Society heat. Jesse's decades-long experience came from honing his skills in smoky juke joints worldwide. He’ll bring an electrifying performance.
Adding to the excitement, Darren Jack (Jacko) has joined the lineup, bringing over 20 years of thrilling audiences in Australia and the U.S.A with his powerhouse rock blues and soul-electrifying compositions.
