“Take a shot o’ Bad Whiskey with one of the most soulful guitar players on the planet!”
Sydney's SIMON KINNY-LEWIS BAND launch their brand new album 'Bad Whiskey' at The Spotted Mallard, Brunswick on Saturday 29th December with special guests Liam Kealy, The Kevin Buckingham Band and Tim Hulsman.
The band's impressive songwriting, soulful vocals, and world-class musicianship is all brought to the fore on this fabulous new release. The album was recorded by Sean Rudd at The Vault Studios in Balmain with Simon - guitar and vocals, Tony Boyd - drums, Rob Ewan - bass, and Shannon Stitt - keys, plus a highly valued contribution from slide guitarist Brett Garsed (John Farnham Band). With final mixing and mastering done by Simon Cotsworth (Seal, Santana, George Benson), 'Bad Whiskey' is destined to have an impact on audiences far and wide, as did the previous album 'Catfish' which reached the number 1 position on the Australian Blues and Roots Charts. This band's own original brand of contemporary blues and rock has created a loyal fan-base of enthusiasts around the globe and led to performance and/or recording opportunities with highly regarded international musicians such as Chris Cain, Anton Davidyants, Nate Ginsberg (Herbie Hancock's band) Christian Howes, Dwayne Pate (Robben Ford band), Simeon Cain (Henry Rollins band) and more. ************ T.J.
