These Jams just keep on rolling around. This weekend, the weather should be perfect, the Springtime temperature a balmy 21c, but on stage at Froth Craft Bunbrewery – Bunbury the mercury will be on the rise. Grab your kit and a friend and head on down for the States biggest monthly Jam Session, If you’re not a member, that’s OK you still get to play or listen to an afternoon of live music in great company and at one Bunbury’s finest venues. See you there.
WOW, WOW and WOW again!!! Yep Whiskey Nips are back in town, with their dizzying pizazz and power. The sensational voice of Kirsty Finn , Blew Drew absolute master of the tin sandwich and the amazing Daniel Wiggins on guitar, plus and plus. We are so excited to have this 5 piece Funk Blues Band back at Blues Central and this time supported by club legends, Something Else. They are playing at Bridgetown this year but why wait when you can hear them at Blues Central. The other rumour is also correct. The Goldfield boys are back, Gaza fronting with powerhouse duo Ric and Steve and you won’t believe it but hard man Brad Mac is back on drums, so this is going to be one epic afternoon.

Spring has sprung, the grass has riz, but tell me when the next jam days is? Well it’s next weekend and it’s going to be a whole lot of fun. Dust of those musical instruments and get yourself (and your mates) down the Froth Craft Bunbrewery – Bunbury for four hours of live music. See you Sunday.
Redhouse is a Perth band that is currently rattling the windows of many of the more salubrious music venues in both town and country. Having recently played at The Ellington Jazz Club, Perth Blues Club, the Gaysby Skyline and the Australia, they also have a slot booked at this year’s Gidgestock Music Festival. The band features Alex Mears on guitar and the unmistakable voice of Gabby Okas. Get down the Blues Central on Sunday 8th September for another dose of quality blues. Also on debut will be The Recliners to take the afternoon to a close. See you there.
It’s only a matter of days until Jam Day, so it’s time to dust off and tune your musical instruments and practice a few riffs. Don’t forget to bring your club membership key ring so that you can score a discount for food and drinks. Whether you play or just want to listen, we’d love to see your at Froth 1pm on Sunday the 18th. Join in the fun at Western Australia’s biggest regular monthly jam.
WOW, time flies! The good news is, the August Blues Central is just a week away. We have for the first time Low Down, a newly formed Perth Band consisting of some old hands. This fab five promise us an afternoon of soulful rhythms and electrifying melodies, blending the best of Chicago and West Coast swing blues with a touch of Memphis soul. Hard on their heals comes SWBC band Old School, led by one of the club’s most seasoned bluesman, Neil Broad. For the diehard blues purists this will be an afternoon you are going to love. See you at Froth Craft Bunbrewery – Bunbury, Sunday 11th of August at 1pm.
The weekend is fast approaching and the July Jam Session is just the medicine for those chilly winter Sunday’s. Come and hang out in the warmth of Bunbury’s best music venue. Bring a friend and your weapon of choice and we will make sure you get up for a session or two. This will also be your last chance to order and purchase the Blues Central tee shirts in your size. So plenty of reasons to get to Froth Craft Bunbrewery – Bunbury on Sunday. Catch ya there 1pm sharp to get your name on the board.
Are you ready for a monster Sunday. Two fabulous bands – Empire Blues and the MDV Band on stage at Blues Central. Andrew McIlroy leads the charge for Empire Blues. Andrew was on stage at Charles Street only a fortnight ago playing at State Wide Blues, as well as packing in a tour with the amazing Michael Vdelli. Where he gets the time we have no idea but Sunday he plays alongside Al Dawson on bass and Frank Shinall on drums. Then its a quick fire change over and the MDV Band debuts with the highly talented partnership, Marisa and Mark De Vattimo suported by Jesse Shortis on drums and Tara Spencer on bass. There are many who have waited to see and hear MDV and it all happens Sunday 14 July at 1pm Froth Craft Bunbrewery – in Bunbury. See you there.
If you can make it to Perth for this show it is going to be a cracker. Smokin’ Joe are representing South West Blues Club at the first ever combined Night of Blues with Perth Blues Club, Albany Blues Club and South West Blues Club.
