Following a celebrated international career, Michael Vdelli returns with his most personal and uncompromising project to date, Michael Vdelli And The Art Of Dysfunction.
Blending blues rock tradition with a modern, cinematic edge, the band delivers music that is raw, atmospheric, and emotionally charged. Their sound is built on expressive guitar work, dynamic arrangements, and a commitment to feel over flash, where tone, space, and storytelling take centre stage.
Fronted by Vdelli (vocals/guitar), the lineup features Michael Menna (guitar), Royce Mack (drums), and Kelly John McCarthy (bass) - a group of seasoned musicians combining technical ability with a contemporary sensibility. In 2026, the band unveiled their debut releases.
BLUE SHADDY
Jim McClelland, guitarist singer and main songwriter blends elements of, blues, country, and rock in his writing creating a whirlpool of foot stomping infectious energy. Taking you from a Smokey, whiskey soaked blues lounge, to funky town, then winding up drinking moonshine in the all in haystack hoe down.
‘Blue Shaddy’ try to involve the audience and bring them right on stage with them for the ride. Jim will always ask, ‘How ya going’ and he actually does mean that. and belly will dance like a mad man on hot bed of coals harmonica blasting, Sandy and Dean just sit firmly in the engine room holding it tight, allowing brothers Jim and Belly the freedom to explore the raw exuberance of each others talents as only kin can do.
