House Rockers Blues Band

And another new act for Capital Blues.

There is a big difference between playing IN a band and playing AS a band, and that is something that the House Rockers Blues Band make abundantly clear. They bring a modern blues rock sound with a splash of retro. Besides some classic blues, they also have some original material.

The band was formed as a ‘project’ group to satisfy the creative drive of the three members, Tony Faulkner, Jason Waitokia, & Gary Goodwin, but it grew to local live performances. Now they are playing around the region.

The three members have a long history of playing the blues.

Gary Goodwin on drums draws influences from Ian Paice, Lee Kerslake, and Levon Helm.

Jason Waitokia, the guitarist, is a Wellingtonian and played in local bands in the 1990s.

Tony Faulkner, bass, played with Bullfrog Rata and Midge Marsden, so clearly has musical chops.

Their live shows are full of energy and enthusiasm. Not to be missed.

$20 GA or $10 for Capital Blues Inc members.
