SUMMARY:Oscar LaDell and Chris Armour - Right Kinda Wrong ALBUM RELEASE - with the Superheaters (featuring Wayne Mason)
DESCRIPTION:Oscar and Chris are hustling their brand new collaboration Right Kinda Wrong – working Wellington this weekend with a series of gigs in different surroundings with differing line ups. Tonight\, we get to see them strut with the Superheaters bringing Wayne Mason along to add terrific keys to an already great sound. \nOscar is a second generation blues man (guitar and harmonica) hailing from Dunedin (Born in the USA) He blends soul\, funk and blues into a heady mix of hypnotic slow-burning ballads and driving rhythms.\nChris is our very own Wellington wonder guitarist\, heard and lauded often for his ability to fall into the music and play just the right\, tasty stuff.\n“Right Kinda Wrong finds the two collaborating for the first time on an album packed with explosive ’50s & ’60s inspired electric blues. Driven by Richard Te One (drums) and Steve Moodie (bass)\, the album drips with greasy grooves and captures the vintage sound of classic Chess and Excello Records artists.” \nYou can pre-order the digital album here!

SUMMARY:Hurricane Shayn Wills & the Zephyr Hunters with support from Zephyr Wills!
DESCRIPTION:Hurricane Shayn Wills on guitar\, harmonica and vocals\, the unstoppable Bullfrog Rata on bass and vocals and the indomitable Des Mallon on drums\, add Zephyr Wills as a mighty support act and your nights entertainment is secure! So we know about the “old guard” – but here’s a little about Zephyr: \nZephyr Wills is a student of classical viola under the tutelage of New Zealand String Quartet violist Gillian Ansell\, at the New Zealand School of Music. Growing up the son of a Blues musician\, it would be virtually impossible NOT to pick up some guitar interests. In a ‘worlds colliding’ moment\, Zephyr has finally been persuaded to put both acts together. Zephyr plays guitar and sings original and compeling tunes and often plays with Shayn as one half of the father and son duo Wills and Wills. Zephyr playing support for the Zephyr Hunters is the perfect start to an awesome night of live blues.

SUMMARY:Bullfrog Rata and the Elegant Wastrels!
DESCRIPTION:Bullfrog Rata emerges from his muddy pond to present a night of foot stomping blues tunes with a tinge of jazz-infused trumpet and keyboards.\nHe will also be slipping in 3 or 4 of his own self-penned tunes in each set.\nAs yet his songs remain unreleased with an album almost ready to go and another CD’s worth already written\, so he is looking forward to giving these songs an airing in a live situation.\nHe is joined by the Elegant Wastrels; Patrick Bleakley on Double Bass\, John Rae on Drums\, Duncan Haynes on Piano and Geoff Culverwell on Trumpet & Flute.\nBullfrog will be on his game with these heavyweight hombres behind him as he presents his new songs\, which meander through styles and moods\, delivered with a pastiche of commentary and humour.

SUMMARY:Red Dog Saloon Band
DESCRIPTION:We’re off and running for our 25th year – Bringing in the excellent Red Dog Saloon Band to welcome you all back to the Crossroads!\nIt’ll be a night of groove\, Delta blues featuring Dave Murphy—‘New Zealand’s blues man’ and that eclectic west coast kiwi style of Dougald Spier…the big man with the big sound. On drums Roger Watkins and Elliot Fuimaono on bass.\nDave Murphy plays Finger Picking Blues in the style of Mississippi John Hurt\, Robert Johnson and a whole host of other old blues guys. Dougal Speir on the other hand is more adept at ripping off lead riffs unheard of since the death of the likes of Roy Buchanan\, Rory Gallagher or Jimi Hendrix! You can imagine what sort of combination they form together on stage.\nSo if you want to hear the greatest mix of country blues you can dance to\, enjoy your listening time\, and maybe even have a bit of a jive\, let the Red Dog Saloon Band fill your needs!

SUMMARY:Two Bluesy Blondes
DESCRIPTION:Erna Ferry and Julie Lamb in a mash up of blonde hair and bluesy lungs… From trad to not so much… The song list is varied\, and the band is grand!  The line up is Erna Ferry\, vocals and harmonica; Julie Lamb\, vocals and bad jokes; Andrew Richardson\, drums; Callum Hazlitt-Black\, bass; Pieter Bos\, keys; Deane Hunter\, guitar and Andrew Clouston\, sax.\n\nForged from a love of hair and blues\, Two Bluesy Blondes brings you the ultimate Jazz Blues singer Erna Ferry and her energetic\, rocky sidekick Julie Lamb. “Two acclaimed vocalists brought together for high-energy blues” says Stephen Fisher. “The idea of bringing together both Palmerston North’s supreme jazz vocalist Erna Ferry and Wellington’s much-acclaimed singer-songwriter Julie Lamb for a night of passionate blues was indeed inspired\, allowing these two vocalists to fully relax into their programme of covers of blues classics\, creating an unforgettable night.”\n\nThese guys are funny\, frightfully good\, and boast a stellar band of wonderful groovers

SUMMARY:Bullfrog Rata and Friends
DESCRIPTION:Legendary NZ blues man\, Bullfrog Rata\, lays it down at Jack Hackett’s on Friday 13 November 2020. \nHis brand of earthy\, primal blues has been a work in progress\, from standing on street corners\, busking in towns like Levin and Wairoa to jaunts on jet planes to play in some of London’s most packed bars. \nThough known as a bluesman his tastes are many and varied and like all good amphibians he is at home on water or land. This could mean a driving Texas shuffle\, or a sly West Coast swing\, maybe a riveting acoustic ballad or a stinging slide solo perhaps? \n“I do all sorts of things depending on what feels right\, with me\, and the vibe in the crowd at the time!” say’s the man himself ‘but blues is definitely the glue that holds the gumbo together!”
