Trombone Kellie Gang is one of the hardest working bands on the Northern Rivers today, performing from the Sunshine Coast to the Byron hinterland. They are truly entertaining, with the perfect recipe of street blues, jazz swing, gospel, soul, and a bit of rock and roll. Featuring exciting and fresh takes on delta swing and country blues, they are old school authentic.
The straight-talking, hip-swinging jazz and blues of the Trombone Kellie Gang will get you moving. They’re fronted by the renowned Trombone Kellie, whose powerful vocal delivery and roots blues trombone playing feature alongside some great guitar work by Scrubby Pete.
The engine room is simply brilliant with Rodney Ford a veteran drummer of the Australian jazz and blues scene, still playing with jazz royalty Galapagos Duck. Justin Pfeiffer has spent 40 years on double bass. Originally from Adelaide, Justin lived in Japan in the late ‘80s being exposed to a variety of musical forms before returning to Australia in 2000.
This band as a three- to five-piece outfit have the perfect recipe for raucous Street Blues, made for the people and delivered with relish.
With an element of surprise, the Trombone Kellie Gang experience is always a load of fun and they are bringing too much of it (fun that is) to the Ballina RSL this Sunday for the Sunday Blues Sessions, starting at 2.30pm on the Boardwalk.
