Whanganui Blues Buffet featuring Erna Ferry

Hailing from the River City, Whanganui – this mighty blues band features the Loveridge Brothers, who’ve featured in many a Wellington band over the years – Captain Custard and the 1860 Band to name a few.

The Blues Buffet started out in 2008 jamming on Sunday afternoons at the Red Lion tavern in their hometown of Whanganui. Since then, the band has recorded three original albums, appeared playing live on television, and have played a few blues fests along the way. After a hiatus, the band is back playing again.

Playing in an electric style, the band features a repertoire ranging from Tommy Castro, through to Joe Bonnamassa, Robben Ford, Delbert McLinton, and many blues standards.

Something for everyone.

As an added treat, the powerful voice of vocalist Erna Ferry is out front singing and playing mouth harp.
