Blues Night at the Australian Hotel

Grit, soul, rhythm and riffs — The Australian Hotel is going deep this October with a proper Blues Night.

Two incredible acts. One epic evening. Whether you’re a blues die-hard or just love a night of live music, this one’s for you.

Who is playing?

Local legends and purveyors of the purest blues, JB’s Blues Breakers are the real deal. Think gritty guitar work, heart-thumping rhythm, and soulful vocals that hit you right in the chest. With a rotating line up of seasoned musos and a front man who knows his way around a Strat, they’ve become a staple of the North Coast blues scene — always tight, always fiery, always fun.

A long-standing name in the Aussie blues world, John Luke Shelley blends classic blues licks with his own brand of storytelling and rock ‘n’ roll swagger. With decades of gigging under his belt — including stints alongside some of the greats — his sound is heartfelt, polished, and packed with passion. Expect slide guitar, honest lyrics, and a whole lotta soul.

Get in early, grab a jug, and settle in for a sonic trip through blues, rock and soul.
