Brackets and Jam returns to the mountain

Brackets and Jam returns to Kincumba Mountain on Saturday, March 29, with an afternoon of superb music and friendly company.

The lineup features Penteract, Sweet Remedy Band, Blame Sally and Stand Up Gentleman, along with drum jams throughout the afternoon.

Penteract is a powerhouse, young five-piece band from the Central Coast, delivering a dynamic fusion of rock, blues, funk and Latin grooves.

With a setlist that spans decades and genres, they breathe new life into classics like Another Brick in the Wall (Pink Floyd), Smooth (Santana) and Virtual Insanity (Jamiroquai).

Their line-up includes vocalist/rhythm guitarist Ronnie Rawal (16), lead guitarist Harry Atherton (18), bassist Imogen Harris (17), keyboardist Saskia Dixon-Valk (17) and drummer Rafael Benitez (16).

Sweet Remedy Band is another five-piece band, with regular players getting together on stage at The Big Blues Jams on Sundays each month from 2016-2020, sharing shared their passion for live music and forming friendships.

When they were given the opportunity to re-unite and play a couple of gigs mid last year they enjoyed it so much they decided there were more fun gigs to be had.

Presenting their own take in covers of blues, soul, rock and funk song are Helena Brunner (vocals), Andrew Webster (guitar), Glenn Davis (bass), Walter De Jong (keys and vocals) and Len Sawyer (drums and vocals).

Blame Sally covers songs from the 1970s to now, focusing on high energy songs from Fleetwood Mac, Deep Purple, INXS, Doobie Bros, and lots of others.

Emerging from the vibrant Central Coast music scene, Stand Up Gentlemen is a dynamic blues rock band that seamlessly blends raw, classic rock energy with soulful lyrics about lost love and freedom.

With influences from iconic artists like Tom Petty, Cream and Jimi Hendrix, their sound is a fresh yet nostalgic tribute to the golden era of rock and blues.

Fronted by Duane Marnell, the band features Paul Eagle, David Traina and Alex Ohem.

The band is gearing up for an exciting Australia Day celebration at The Jetty Hotel, where it will showcase a range of classic Aussie ‘80s tunes..

The band will also record its debut EP this year, with a sound that’s deeply rooted in rock tradition but fresh with contemporary vibrancy.

Brackets and Jam takes place at Kincumba Mountain Kiosk, at the top of Island View Dr off the west end of Kincumber St, Kincumber, from 1-5pm.

Adult admission is $15, with accompanied children under 16 admitted free.
