House of Blues - Tues Oct 6th

BLUES JAM NIGHT

Feature act: JIMI HOCKING'S BLUES MACHINE

JIMI HOCKING is one of the most prominent names in Australian Blues and needs little introduction. A gifted guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, Jimi’s music industry journey has been an illustrious and successful one – covering the spectrum of roots-based music, and holding a collection of 16 solo albums ranging from Electric Blues to Acoustic Folk – and even a mandolin album.

From unconventional exploits in the early 80’s playing complex Zappa-inspired Rock in 'The Astros', to evolving into Rock guitarist 'Jimi the Human', who joined 'The Angel's in 1988 for their 'Live Line' tour, in 1993 he joined seminal rockers 'The Screaming Jet's, recording six albums. Yet, all the while, he has been present in the Australian Blues scene with a number of Blues albums and a swag of awards, including winning the prestigious ‘International Blues Challenge’ in Memphis USA in 2005.

As well as an artist in his own right, Jimi is a sought-after side man who has lent his guitar skills to other prominent performers. He continues his role in ‘The Screaming Jets;, but his love of electric guitar always brings him back to the Blues. Jimi remains a force on the guitar, and always a supreme showman, with humour, and whose entertaining, engaging stage presence has ensured him a place as one of the best live acts in the country, and a popular returning act at the MBAS House of Blues - with his Blues Machine.
