Paul Read
Slide Guitar
A published songwriter with
Mushroom Music, Paul has toured extensively in Europe and Australia. Paul’s early influences were Elmore James, John Mayall, The Allman Brothers,
Little Feat, Rory Gallagher, Johnny Winter, Canned Heat, Hound Dog Taylor and
the Stones. Paul grew up on US and UK import blues and boogie albums and
generally always more interested in the songs and the sound of the band
as opposed to the virtuoso solo acts. He has jammed with Elvin Bishop
and performed opening shows for John Mayall.
Michael Barry
Harmonica and Vocals
Michael took up the
harmonica under the guidance of a secret harp kung-fu master who shall
remain nameless and has since gone on to play in seedy bars from Bangkok to Hawaii and various points in between. He is presently stuck in cross harp. He also sings stuff that
Paul writes and complains when Paul rearranges stuff he writes, but then thinks
better of it and has a lie down.
Michael Rosenthal
Lead Guitar
Michael was once told by an
Indie band that ‘we don’t play blues here.’after sneaking blues licks into the
set. So instead, he found him a few nice chaps who’d oblige him with some 12
Bar Blues and he now sneaks the Indie licks in instead.
John Spazic
Bass
Brother John studied at the Monastery of Chili Peppers and now preaches the blues, converting people to the Church of Rhythm
Mark Graeber
Drums & Percussion
Mark ‘Groover’ Graeber, recently re-christened 'Dr. Time' by the boys, has shared the stage with the likes of Cold Chisel, Rose Tattoo and toured Australia, Wollongong, Wollongong and Dapto.
