Coming to town all the way from Tasman/Nelson, the magnificent Westcoast Blues Band hit the stage for your dancing and musical enjoyment!
Founder, Ivan Outram, started the band so long ago he can’t remember exactly when. Whilst the line-up has changed over time, the music has not. The band still play hard out US style Chicago and West Coast blues. Ivan leads from the front with searing guitar work and heartfelt vocals.
‘Newcomer’ (only joining about 15 years ago), Jak Karaitiana, brings a solid bass groove which keeps the engine room driving.
Simon ‘Shuffle’ Terrill holds down the rhythm end on drums with exquisite feel, from slow blues to hard-driving blues rock.
Paul Denny is an old hand on the blues harp, playing in numerous bands for over 30 years, and thrives on that crunchy Chicago style tone and energy.
West Coast Blues Band really knows where the groove is, having played together for so long! If you enjoy old-style shuffle, Freddie King, SRV, Clapton and more, this is the band for you!
West Coast Blues Band playing 6-9pm, then Davey Backyard takes the stage till late.
Entry $10 cash at the door.
Canterbury Blues Club members just $5!
