Kings of the blues

155681_02

ALREADY being described as a ‘Melbourne Super Blues Group’, the Three Kings brings together a trio of this country’s most dedicated, authentic blues artists, with down and dirty, totally inspiring results.
And they’re coming to Ocean Grove’s Piping Hot Chicken Shop on 25 June.
The coming together of three of Australia’s best known blues artists to form Three Kings has proved quickly to be a winning combination, their first CD was awarded the Age music Victoria blues CD of the year award and in 2014 they were winners the Melbourne blues performers of the year competition.
Featuring Ian Collard (Collard Greens and Gravy, and Backsliders) on vocals, harmonica and guitar, Ben Peters (Benny and the Flybyniters) on vocals and guitar, and Jason Liu Soon (Chris Wilson, the Detonators) on drums, Three Kings have been wowing audiences across the country with their own unique blend of filthy, rocking, 1950s tinged garage blues.
Three Kings’ hard-hitting, greasy blues style takes you on a dangerous joy ride through the back roads and juke joints of American music history, combining the sounds of artists like Kid Thomas, John Lee Hooker, Slim Harpo and Jerry McCain with their own original spin. Together the trio rocks hard and blue.
Tickets $20. Book on 5255 1566. Doors open 7.30pm.
