“Australia’s own blues diva……..” Bruce Elder Sydney Morning Herald.
Aria nominated singer songwriter Kerri Simpson and her band have a list of award winning credits as large as her renowned voice. “ She seems born to sing the blues and gospel music. Deep and sultry, with a throaty, soulful rasp, it has that authentic “well traveled” feel, reflecting her genre hopping experiences.” Mike Daly (Age)
Her long time cohorts, Ray Periera, Dean Addison, Mark Grunden , Ben Grayson and Ron Tabuteau offer up their stunning backing blend of rythmn, beats and blues as “Simpson swoops and dives, purrs and snarls, praises and testifies, in a voice that combines a New Orleans swagger, a Delta drawl, and a tinge of glorious gospel” Nova Magazine WA. See why Rolling Stone magazine called them “one of the best blues bands in the country” when they play material from their last 3 albums “Confessin the blues”, “Voodoo songs of the spirits” and “Suns gonna shine”.
