After a massive year performing at major festivals all over Australia, popular blues and roots act, 19Twenty, will be performing a special one off show at the iconic Mangrove Mountain Heritage Hall on Saturday, September 10.
This will be a rare opportunity to catch one of Australia’s most exciting live acts at such an intimate venue and is also 19Twenty’s only Central Coast show before heading interstate to perform at the Mitchell Creek Rock ‘n Blues Festival. The band’s high energy performances and engagement with their audience has packed festival venues from Woodford Folk Festival in Queensland to Blues at Bridgetown in WA, where the band picked up the festival’s people’s choice award two years running. Featuring Syd Green (Leonardo’s Bride) on drums, Kane Dennelly on lead guitar, vocals, acrobatic dance moves, and Johnny G’s thumping double bass lines, 19Twenty are described by online music publication, Tone Deaf, as “one of the most exciting riff and groove based blues and roots acts emerging from Australia”.
The band has also received airplay on Triple J, for their single YOLO, and wide spread acclaim for both their debut album Zion and recently released selftitled album. Supporting 19Twenty at Blues on the Mountain will be 2015 Home Grown Acoustic Award winner, Toby Wells. Toby has supported acts such as Thirsty Merc, with his band Stranger Than Paradise, and also performed as a soloist alongside well known blues and roots musicians, such as Genevieve Chadwick, Grizzlee Train and the PJ O’Brien band. All profi t raised from the night goes towards the upkeep and restoration of Mangrove Mountain Heritage Hall and Fairview Homestead.
