Slips & The F.W.'s : New Orleans, Early Blues & Ragtime
Advertisement
Slips & The F.W.'s are a whimsical, whirling whirlwind of wily musicians from the Gold Coast, Brisbane, and Toowoomba. This cadre of audacious auditory artisans dare to rekindle the long-forgotten embers of Early Blues, Traditional Jazz, and Ragtime relics from the labyrinthine epochs spanning the 1900s through the tumultuous 1930s. But, pray tell, this is no ordinary aural escapade.
Tangled in tunes, their sonic sorcery draws inspiration from legendary luminaries such as Jelly Roll Morton, Blind Boy Fuller, and Spencer Williams among a myriad of others. Tantalisingly transporting a taste of New Orleans, they friskily frolic, flinging forth flavourful favourites and feisty figments, fusing in their fanciful formation, frothing a flavour of far-flung French Quarter flair wherever their feet may fancy.
Band :
David Kume - Resonator Guitar/Vocals
Roberto Fontana - Trumpet
Paul Edwards - Saxophone/Clarinet
Zoe Atkinson - Trombone
Bayden Mitchell - Upright Bass
Performing at iconic venues, festivals and events around South East Queensland such as The Tivoli, Princess Theatre, Dust Temple, Miami Marketta, Eat Street Northshore, live on ABC Gold Coast Radio, Blues On Broadbeach Festival, SWELL Sculpture Festival and many more, no crowd is too big or too small for Slips & The F.W.’s to spread their good old fashioned toe tappin’ cheer.
Don’t miss this incredible night of toe tapping jazz.
General Info:
Step inside from 6:30 pm. The music begins at 7:30 pm. Venue closes at 11.30pm.
Seating is unreserved and claimed by those who arrive first. The early ones always find the best vantage point.
Food and small plates will be available throughout the evening, and the bar will be flowing with local and international wines, classic cocktails, fine spirits, and a deep collection of bourbons worthy of New Orleans itself.
To find us, follow Mead Lane to its very end. Turn left. Look for the red door. We’re the fourth premise on the right.
No number. No signs. No announcements.
Just a hidden jazz club… and those who know, know.
