-

Get ready to groove with Dr. Leigh Pilzer , the Washington, D.C. baritone sax powerhouse who proves that jazz is meant to be a living, breathing party, not a dusty museum piece. Described as a pure force of nature with a gruff, punchy, and assertive sound, Leigh brings a heavy dose of soulful grit to the stage. She has traded licks with the legendary Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra and even arranged horns for local legends like Chuck Brown and Eva Cassidy , and now she is bringing that deep, soulful swagger front and center with her vibrant new album, Keep Holding On. This record is a masterclass in pure, undeniable groove, packed with plenty of attitude, low-end bark, and raw energy that blues fans will instantly appreciate. Keep Holding On strikes the perfect balance between paying respect to the jazz heritage and absolutely cutting loose, making it an essential, high-energy addition to your playlist.   🎵 LISTEN & SUPPORT THE ALBUM   Keep Holding On by Leigh ...

Howling At The Moon - Dukesy and The Hazzards

-

Twisting their way through blues, funk and rock 'Dukesy and The Hazzards' feature the talents of Nick Brown (vocals/guitar), Dave Evans (bass/keys/vocals) and Adrian Violi (drums/vocals). With a firm respect for the traditional side of blues 'Dukesy' combine this with their love of groove and the freedom and improvisation of jazz and funk resulting in a tasty, modern blend for all to enjoy!

Coming together in 2009 (but having known each other for years) the boys released their debut EP - a 6 track combo of rollicking shuffles, solid groove and a little room to move (just to keep things a little relaxed!). Featuring 5 originals and a cleverly chosen cover ('You're A Mystery' by the legendary Aussie blues favourites The Bondi Cigars) 'Dukesy' have been enjoying airplay on many independent radio stations such as PBS, RRR, 3MDR and Bluesbeat across the country over the last year. On a wider scale Dukesy have shared the stage recently with the likes of Geoff Achison and Continental Robert Susz and were awarded the Blues Underground Network's 'Best Australian Album' of 2010 getting them even more exposure.

Individually the fellas have performed nationally and internationally in various settings (Blues, Jazz, Rock, Funk, Country, Latin, Covers, Originals, Theatre, Sessions etc). As a band they collectively call on this extensive live experience to put on a live show firmly rooted in the blues with a modern funky twist....check em out!
