SUMMARY:Capital City Big Band
DESCRIPTION:For ANZAC Day\, Blues at the Crossroads is delighted to host the Capital City Big Band.  CCBB for short (formally know as the Aspire Big Band) specialises in the Swing music of the 1930s and 40s. However\, since 2011 they have also developed a Latin\, funk and modern big band repertoire.  \nSome of these more modern big band numbers are for having fun\, such as The Donut King and The James Bond theme\, and others are more about serious performance\, such as the music of the US Army Band and New Zealand composer Vaughn Roberts. However\, CCBB is most recognised for its hot Mambo grooves and its tributes to Swing greats: Glenn Miller\, Benny Goodman\, Count Basie\, Artie Shaw\, Cole Porter and Nat King Cole. \nFacebook Page: www.facebook.com/ccbbnz/

SUMMARY:Aleister J Campbell
DESCRIPTION:Suddenly! A huge commotion is heard ricocheting around the venue. Psychedelic blues breakdowns and earth shattering rifts abundant. People are craning their necks to bear witness. Seasoned bar tenders mess up orders. A random man of indeterminate age steals a gold-plated fitting. Children and dogs scatter\, and an albatross randomly flies into the room. It’s just another gig for the Aleister j. Campbell Incident. Be there…\n\nAleister James Campbell is a guitarist/singer/songwriter originally from the Stokes Valley delta. He’s back in the capital after six years razing the music venues of Melbourne to the ground with his fiery brand of blues and beyond.\n\nJoining him for this show are ex-Blerta double bassist Patrick Bleakley\, drum power house Richard Te One\, and local horn legends Michael Taylor and Jake Baxendale.\n\n\nwww.aleisterjames.com\nwww.facebook.com/AleisterJames\nTwitter/Instagram: @aleisterjames

SUMMARY:The Stable Geniuses
DESCRIPTION:Named for an infamous Donald Trump quote reported on the day of their first official gig in early 2018\, (and for the rustic nature of the first venue they played) the Stable Geniuses comprise several Kapiti-based musicians brought together at the instigation of bass player and Audiosuite studio owner Ross McDermott. Audiosuite sits next to an all-but-abandoned barn at the Lindale Complex just North of Paraparaumu\, and McDermott saw an opportunity for a country-themed event to enliven the deserted barn. \nA team was assembled including local guitarist Andrew London and drummer Brent McFarlane\, and ‘guests’ including pianist Wayne Mason and harmonica player Neil Billington were recruited for a ‘Boogie in the Barnyard’ in January 2018. The event\, and subsequent repeats\, were sold out and the Stable Geniuses\, like many Trump quotes\, look like having a life of their own.

Over the years he has soaked in the influences of harmonica greats such as Big Walter\, Sonny Boy Williamson I & II\, Little Walter\, Sonny Terry\, James Cotton and Slim Harpo\, distilling them and combining them with his own trademark style. Expect a mixture of originals and favourites performed with aplomb.

SUMMARY:Hopegene
DESCRIPTION:At Jack Hackett’s this Thursday we present the Fuimaono brand of sweet blues and powerful soul music. Band leader and bass player Elliot Fuimaono is a legend with Capital Blues. \nHopegene line up is: \nHope – vocals\nEugene – gat/vox\nJonathan – drums\nElliot – bass/vox\nAnd Jebidiah Lesa – keys\n\nElliot says\, “My daughter Hope and son Eugene are moving to Auckland for a year of studies\, so it’s my last chance to play a gig with them for quite a while. They are both so good to work with.” Hope and Eugene have grown up around the blues club through Elliot and his friends\, they have also completed the music course at Whitireia.\n\nJonathan\, will be on drums\, although his main focus at the moment is his little family. “He gave music away when his daughter was born and hadn’t played at all last year\, so I asked him to play this gig because his brother and sister-in-law were moving away for a while\, he sorted out a few important things\, baby bath time\,nap time\, feeding time\, and agreed to do this gig\, it’s gone well so far” says Elliot.  “I’m playing bass\, so I have a lot to learn!“\n\nJebidiah Lesa is a local young man from P-Town who is playing keyboards. “Eugene asked him to play with the band so it’ll be a fun night”.

SUMMARY:New Home of the Blues in Wellington!
DESCRIPTION:The Capital Blues Club has a new home at Jack Hackett’s.  Formally ‘Bill Direen’s’ bar in the nineties\, the stage at Jack Hackett’s hosted the very early gigs for the Blue’s Club back in 1996. After a long stint at The Bristol\, the Club is fortuitously returning to its roots at the Crossroads of Dixon and Taranaki Streets. \nBlues artist Pip Payne was the driving force behind the Blues Club in the early years. He is returning to the very same stage 22 years later for the Opening Night Party with his band ‘The Gospel Project’ featuring Wayne Mason on keys. \nThe idea to host the club really struck a chord with Jack Hackett’s manager – Matt McLaughlin.  “I’m a huge fan and supporter of local live music. I know beer and blues on a Thursday is going to be  really appealing\, especially as we head into summer. I want Jack Hackett’s to be recognised as the go-to destination for Blues in the Capital. So we are committed to continuing this great tradition.” \nClub member\,  treasurer of 8 years and musician Julie Lamb is really excited about the move. “It’s a great new venue for us – it’s a  bigger space and the acoustics are great for the Blues sound. Every good club needs a good base\, and we are thrilled with our new home.” \n“I’m proud of our history. We are the longest running Blues club in the southern hemisphere. Every Thursday for 22 years we’ve brought Wellington live Blues music. We provide a regular dose of monthly Roots culture on Del Thomas’sradio show on Access radio\, and the Blues stage within the CupaDupa festival is our baby.” \n“The Blues Club plays a vital role in keeping the Blues alive. The NZ School of music does 3 big band nights a year at the Blues Club – The students come through and show their chops. The evening is studded with talent proving that the genre continues to inspire young musicians. We are immensely proud to support that.” \nFounding member of the Blues Club\, Dougal Speir says “The Blues has always has been relevant. It has that ‘special thing’ that never goes away. The structure of the Blues makes it incredibly accessible. Me? I’m a 3 chord wonder. But that’s basically all you need to express the full spectrum of life’s emotion. Jack White of the White Stripes said that he was profoundly influenced hearing the power of the blues expressed just with acapella and handclaps. It will influence people til eternity.” \nJulie adds “For over two decades\, we’ve supported our local Blues artists with opportunities for their music and to develop our national Blues sound.  New Zealanders really connect to the rich blues history\, culture and sound. It is a vehicle for telling ballsy stories. Its roots are in struggle and slavery\, and the dark emotional storylines of racism and poverty are still relevant today. And since the very beginning\, it’s always been great music to appreciate with mates and a beer in hand”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCome celebrate the opening of the new Home of the Blues at Jack Hackett’s  at the Crossroads of Dixon & Taranaki Sts. \n\n\nCapital Blues on the Move Party\, 8.30 pm 22 November\, \nFree Entry
