Australian blues guitar phenomenon Simon Kinny-Lewis and his band will play at a special fundraiser concert at Mangrove Mountain on December 16.
Having performed and recorded with blues luminaries such as Robben Ford, Chris Cain, Josh Smith, Kirk Fletcher and others and with eight albums under his belt and two more in the making, his musical journey reached new heights this year when he claimed the top spot on The Australian Blues and Roots Charts with four number one albums.
His latest release, King Biscuit (2021), produced by Robben Ford and Grammy award-winning engineer Casey Wasner, is garnering international acclaim.
Recently, the Simon Kinny-Lewis band clinched victory at the Sydney Blues Challenge (band heat) and is set to represent Sydney at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in January 2024.
The band also includes Tony Boyd on drums, Aiden Glover on bass and Sean Costello on harmonica.
To support their journey, they have been holding fundraiser concerts, with the next to be hosted by Blues on the Mountain at the historic Mangrove Mountain Hall on Saturday, December 16.
Joining Kinny-Lewis and his band on the night will be Darren Jack (Jacko), who has been thrilling audiences in Australia and the USA for more than 20 years with his powerhouse rock blues and soul-electrifying compositions.
Doors will open at 6pm with the music starting at 6.30pm.
