Canberra Blues Society February Pro Blues Jam

Hosted by

KillWater hosts Canberra Blues Society’s February Pro Blues Jam.

Forged in the firepits that are the pubs and taverns of the ACT KillWater are founded on mateship and many years of shared experience.

They are driven in the search to unearth their musical influences in live music that brings them back to where it all started, in the spirit of the godfathers of Blues, funk and soul.
In their search they shamelessly draw upon life's universal themes with songs about getting it on, getting down, getting even and wanting more and getting less.

Influenced by the likes of Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, Bill Withers and Freddie King through to the great rock greats like Led Zeppelin, Cream and Jimi Hendrix, they are putting it out there with their own electric Funk/soul infused rockin' blues.

Heavy and sweet, with a whole lotta love, and dirtying it up with some of their own smokin' bluesy numbers.

The host band will be followed by some of the finest musicians in the Canberra region jamming together for a fabulous afternoon of live Blues music.
