Barrelhouse weaves together the separate threads of Lucky Oceans’s western swing, Bill Lawrie’s folk and country blues and Jessie Gordon’s swing and gospel stylings, and from it all they create a tapestry that ranges from old-world blues to new-world folk, swinging gently through bluegrass and soul along the way.

The exciting news is that Lucky has been nominated for yet another Grammy award and will be flying to attend the ceremony, so while he is flying to the States, Jessie and Bill will be joined by an all star band comprising Jon Knox-Matthews on guitar, Shane Pooley on double bass and Pete Evans on drums.

The repertoire will include some of Lucky’s wonderful original songs, including the heartbreaker ‘The Bell’, as well as Bill’s original impressionistic folk gems and some of Jessie’s brand new original gospel and blues songs to feature Jon’s virtuosic guitar playing. Come down to the Duke and join the party!

★★★★½ - The West Australian, 2019
