Stormcellar are certainly a breath of fresh air on the Australian blues scene. Recently touted in the music press as one of Sydney’s new premier blues outfits, and a band to look out for, they have made considerable strides
After releasing their first album Whiskey Talkin only a year and half ago and doing over a 100 shows they have carved their own niche in the music scene. We like to think we have our own brand of R&B: thats Roots and Boogie, and we take our audience on a trip through the genres of the blues via Tokyo to Mali and Mississippi to Hawaii. Our aim is give up a couple of classy yet powerful sets for people to dance and listen to.

Most artists would want to write their bios like someone else has written it for them, thus avoiding the screams of blatant self-promoter by not writing directly about ones self, and ones claims to err fames had to make it rhyme and I ve done that on the more comprehensive bio sections of some other sites I m on, but I also decided that Id write this one a bit more direct, as its also the way I perform when I m on my own.
While I do have a long history as a musician 40 yrs its nearly always been on the electric guitar and so my songs were always written in a band capacity, as..well, I always played in bands!
That was until I moved up to Byron Bay from Sydney in 95. I d started work in the area playing, and I had a little day gig at the local music store. At this stage, I didnt even own an acoustic guitar, and I’d only ever had one as a practice instrument
