About:

​​Double Trouble Blues Sessions presents international Bebop pianist Ezra Lee & his Boogie Woogie band and Greek-Australian Blues Woman Kaliopi & the Blues Messengers performing favourites from each group before their closing supergroup collaboration set showcasing essential piano clarinet and guitar shuffle rumba and jump arrangements to dance off the evening.

A concert for audiences to hear timeless stories to upbeat delta shuffles and jiving blues. This doubleheader will open with Ezra’s Boogie Woogie Band transforming inhibitions into liberating toe-tapping wild jives before Kaliopi’s Blues Messengers continue to drive the momentum with timeless historic and contemporary storytelling before the third set with a combined ensemble, purely to cut loose and self-indulge to the end.

"Kaliopi sings with passion as she howls and moans as she plays some sizzling guitar” Blues Blast Magazine Senior writer Steve Jones, president of the Crossroads Blues Society USA

“Ezra Lee smashes out ‘50s era roots rock’n’roll with the raw integrity that comes from decades of performing in pubs and clubs around Australia, although he's just as comfortable on huge stages in the UK, Europe and the USA.”

” Karl Bergerson - Three Of A Kind Music

Saturday, July 13 from 7.30 pm, Hepburn Springs.
