I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

Ain't Afraid of Crying - Jimi Beavis


I may not be American, or descended from slaves, or have a working class man for a father, or used to work on a banana plantation, but I got the blues so bad, that I got to get it out there! I love playing the blues and singing the blues and I have a little combination that is making that blues sit and up dance for you.

I have always loved music and sung and played music, but for me, blues is where it's at, especially when it comes to playing how you feel. I first picked up the harmonica after seeing local legend Mojo Webb play. I did my blues apprenticeship at the late Satchmo's Bar in West End, learning the way to do it at the Monday jams.

I started my own band - Jimi Beavis and the 385s - in 2007 and we went on to win the Blues Association of South-East Queensland's Performer of the Year in 2009. We played at Woodford Folk Festival, Sunshine Coast Blues Festival, Brisbane Blues Festival and the Australian Blues Festival in Goulburn before I changed to the current line-up.

I am looking to go further back to the old school blues in a bid to move you in an authentic way - shake it!
