We Luv The Blues - Jimi Hocking

Peter and I enjoy dining out in a variety of restaurants in and around Melbourne. We love seeing live bands particularly blues. We love to get out and about ... dancing, drinking, mixing with friends generally raging the night away at one of our great little clubs, taverns, hideouts or Live Blues venues.

'Jimi Hocking' is one of our absolutely favorite blues performer, we would even consider ourselves to be groupies :) ... love his music and have been seeing him and his band 'The Blue Machine' play in Melbourne regularly (at least once a month) for the last 3 years. If you love blues .. you will adore Jimi's music, he is a great act!

He not only rocks you with his music, he will have you raging out on the dance floor, he tells some funny lead in stories to his songs which will have you laughing. He a very entertaining artist and it's always a fun night out.

Extract from Jimi's Site: "I've posted a free MP3 from each album that's still in print, so you can get an idea of the flavour of each recording. These are hosted by the good indie folks over at Somersault Music, and they'll ask you where you're from before you start downloading. You don't have to say, but I like to get some idea where in the world my music is going. And in these global, downloading days I mean that literally"

Just click a song title below to download the MP3s - if you like what you hear, swing over to Somersault Music to pick up copies of the albums.
