** WALK UPS STILL WELCOME BUT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE A SEAT**

KITCHEN BLUES – 2nd July at God’s Kitchen, Mornington

John Williams is one of those rare blues artists who has truly lived the music.

Winner of the 2015 VIC/TAS Blues Award for Best Blues Debut Album and inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame in 2020, John has spent decades carving out a reputation as a powerhouse performer, gifted songwriter and master guitarist. Whether it's his jaw-dropping slide work, fiery electric blues or deep-rooted originals, John delivers every note with passion, authority and unmistakable style.

His remarkable career has seen him share stages and tour with some of the biggest names in music, including The Yardbirds, Tom Jones, The Animals, Eric Burdon, Roy Orbison, The Easybeats and Jimmy Page. In fact, Page was so impressed with John's playing that he taught him some of his signature guitar techniques and even called on him to fill in on tour when illness prevented him from performing.

Drawing on a lifetime immersed in the blues, John combines blistering guitar work, powerful vocals and a wealth of stories from the road into performances that captivate audiences on both sides of the Tasman. From reimagined blues classics to his own acclaimed original material, every show is a masterclass in authentic electric blues.

A true bluesman, a Hall of Fame inductee and a world-class guitarist, John Williams remains one of the most respected and compelling performers in Australasian blues.

Backed by the fabulous Kitchen Blues Band - Tim Stout (Drums), Adam Waldron (Guitar), Dorian Johnson (Bass), Salty Trevarthen (Harp).

Book your Guaranteed Seat in the Band Room for 4th June.

** WALK UPS STILL WELCOME BUT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE A SEAT**

KITCHEN BLUES – 4th June at God’s Kitchen, Mornington

If you come across a Rod Paine fan, chances are they’re nuts – in a good way.

When Rod puts the bite on with that electric Chicago harp and vox, you know you’ll be the next one hooked. Without doubt one of this country’s finest, Paine commands the stage as he powers out the sounds of 50’s electric blues. Years spent with Howlin Time, the Redliners and the Full Time Lovers should leave you in no doubt.

MBAS blues winner sent to Memphis! Latest album "Dirt On Velvet" getting rave review across the country.

Rod will drive the Kitchen Blues resident band for full on blues dirt with Tim Stout (Drums), Adam Waldron (Guitar) and Dorian Johnson (Bass).

Git some on ya!
