Synergy Blue, Melbourne Rhythm and Blues band, is a formation of experienced musicians with a wide range of styles and feels for Blues music, delivering a synergistic blend of high energy electric sound with a Southern, Chicago and funky Texas blues feel. Playing around Melbourne & regional Victoria.
The band has three fine vocalists in Smokin' Sam, Mr. Entertainment "Buz" Neil Busacca, and John-Luke, who all take both lead and backing parts.
.
Smokin' Sam is also a fine writer of music and loves to express his ideas and experiences in life with meaningful and fun lyrics combined with powerful harp playing and vocals.
John-Luke enjoys his guitar playing and is rather diverse in his ability to provide excellent rhythm and lead playing, as well as wonderful vocals.
Neil on bass is the backbone of the band, laying down progressions and rhythms.

Grant Collie on drums ensures that the tempo and time is always right on the beat.
As the band has many different influences, the sets are always made up of songs with varying feels and this makes Synergy Blue a very entertaining band to listen to for audiences of all ages and tastes

A very nice, innocent woman wants to get married, but she is only willing to marry a man if he has never had sex with another woman. After several unsuccessful years of searching, she decides to take out a personal ad. She ends up corresponding with a man who has lived his entire life in the Australian Outback and he has no experience with women. She is very happy with him, and she feels that they are perfect for each other.
So, they end up getting married. On their wedding night, she goes into the bathroom to prepare for the evening. When she returns to the bedroom, she finds her new husband standing in the middle of the room, naked. All the furniture from the room is piled in one corner.
'What happened?' she asks.
'I've never been with a woman' he says, 'But if it's anything like a kangaroo, I'm gonna need all the room I can get!'
Thank you very much for letting me join your circle of friends. I hope to see you out on the road real soon. Keep the blues alive and keep on keeping the faith! Peace and Love! Shirley King, Daughter of The Blues
