Event Details

THE BASEMENT BLUES SOCIETY presents… on the last THURSDAY of every month. The coming together of Sydney’s finest live musicians - at the city's greatest (newly renovated) venue! This month, The BBS presents: Russell Morris + Ali Penney & The Money Makers. Don't miss this!

Russell Morris

Aria Hall of Fame inductee, #1 selling artist, King of Pop, Australian Icon!!

A few phrases commonly used when describing Aussie legend Russell Morris.. Shooting to fame in the middle 60's with Somebody's Image, Russell had a string of hits including Hush and the Bob Dylan classic Baby Blue.

In 1969 he and producer Molly Meldrum released "The Real Thing", Australia's only true psychedelic #1 hit and a song that is played regularly on commercial radio to this day.

Following that, Russell penned breakthrough hits such as;

Sweet Sweet Love, Wings of an Eagle, Rachel, Part 3 into Paper Walls, The Girl

That I Love and many many more...

Constantly in demand, Russell stills tours nationally throughout the year as well as appearances internationally. Russell has worked alongside industry heavyweights like Cher, The Bee Gees, Linda Ronstadt, The Beach Boys and toured Australia with the hugely successful "Long Way To The Top" in 2012.

 

Ali Penney & The Money Makers

Ali Penney and the Money Makers swept the 2014 Chain Awards picking up Duo or Group of the Year, Album of the Year for And On It Goes, Best Female Vocal and Ali shared the Producer of the Year Award with And On It Goes co-producer Phil Punch.

She may consider herself a pianist first and this shows in her skills on the keys, but the honest vulnerability in Ali Penney's vocals has won her the Chain awards for her singing.

With a dose of the Blues, a spattering of Funk and a sprinkling of Soul and Boogie, Ali Penney and The Money Makers are regarded as one of this country's must see acts on the blues club/festival circuit.

Ali has a batch of fresh, steaming originals that take the listener on a journey through blues, shuffles, pop, soul, ballads, jungle beats and good ol' rock n roll with Ali's quirky take on life, romance and the human condition.
