Rock it!
Another Spotlight on the accompanying guests for our third appearance at the Lomond Hotel in a year are dear friends and long time CRnR acolytes, the irreprresible LOT56.
Lot 56 deliver their cure all elixir straight out of the bottle with songs that hail from Tocumwal in the southern Riverina of N.S.W,Japan, Belgium and the building sites of Melbourne.
Founding member and songwriter Steve Jean has been howling at the moon for twenty five years, hauling in a huge variety of players who honour his love for the music. He was weaned on the mighty Melbourne music scene, ingesting as much Pub rock n roll and strife that was on offer.
Lot56 play a distinctive brand of country rock n roll based on the templates pioneered by the likes of Johnny Cash,Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson - simple songs played with guts and integrity.
Lot56 released their eighth album in 2024.
Tilted,The Perfect Storm it contains the bands finest work to date.
From the intro of “Stay” right thru to final crunching guitar line of “The runaway song” this album is defined by the characters in the songs and the talent of the people that perform them. From likeable rogues and public bar dwellers to love triangles and odes to Japan,the perfect storm is as much a collection of stories as it is some purely magnificent country rock n roll.
Calling on current and past band members,
recorded between Australia and Japan Lot56 bought together all the elements necessary to create the perfect storm.
Lot 56 play regularly around country Victoria ,NSW,Melbourne
and Sydney with annual appearances at Nundle as a part of the Tamworth Country Music Festival.
With 6 Japan tours over the last ten years Lot56 have built a reputation as raucous good time country rock n roll band that will entertain all comers anywhere at anytime.
