BLUES JAM NIGHTNARDIA BAND is fronted by powerhouse vocalist/songwriter NARDIA BRANCATISANO, and features guitar master JUSTIN YAP (guitar) along with a killer rhythm section. The band were the MBAS-represented champions at the International Blues Challenge Memphis USA in January 2025. There they slayed international audiences and judges at the IBC, competing amongst hundreds of Blues acts worldwide to rise to the top and reach the Final, placing in the Top 5 in the Band Category internationally. Presenting with stunning stage presence and a soulful, soaring voice which commands attention, Nardia was also the only female artist to reach the Final from a pool of over 400 international acts.
Fresh off her success in Memphis, and armed with a swag of her self-penned material, Nardia secured a US management team, and travelled to Nashville to work with Stinger Boy Entertainment and Grammy-winning producer Boo Mitchell at the legendary Royal Studios, solidifying her place on the global stage. In the past 12 months, Nardia's star has continued to shine with multiple visits back to the USA to perform and record, achieving a startling USA debut charting-topping success, and become a Grammy-nominated artist.
With this, Nardia’s farewell show in Melbourne before moving permanently to the USA to continue her international success, she along with band show off the talent which scored them such acclaim at the IBC, and display Nardia’s striking voice and magnetic appeal. It will be a sad send-off, but a fitting celebration of her next music career chapter, and a night to remember at the MBAS House of Blues – don’t miss it!
