Mal Eastick brings five decades of Australian guitar history to Wombarra Bowlo on Saturday 30 May, as The Bombie proudly presents The Mal Eastick Review – 50 Years: 1976–2026. Few players have carved their sound so deeply into the nation’s musical DNA. His unmistakable tone, soulful phrasing and melodic firepower have lit up more than twenty‑five albums — ten of them Gold or Multi‑Platinum — and his journey from chart‑topping rock guitarist to master of the blues has shaped a legacy that still grows today. Backed by a powerhouse band — John Makey, Peter Grey, Rudy Miranda and John Tweed — Mal revisits the songs, stories and partnerships that defined his career, from Stars and Jimmy Barnes to unforgettable jams with legends like Joe Walsh, Eric Burdon, Canned Heat and Buddy Guy.
This 50‑year celebration dives into the heart of Australian pub‑rock culture, blending milestone tracks, spine‑tingling instrumentals and the road tales that forged a lifetime in music. Mal’s playing carries the grit of the ’70s, the punch of the ’80s and the soul of the blues he’s lived and breathed for forty years — a journey marked by artistic dedication, charity work, international recognition and a deep commitment to honouring those who shaped him, including his late friend Andrew Durant. With his signature tone, a band of seasoned pros and a catalogue that spans eras, Mal Eastick delivers a show that’s both a tribute to the past and a testament to a musician still pushing forward.
