A Tour All Along The Watchtower

Hey Joe, did you hear? One of Australia’s best blues and rock guitarists is bringing the Jimi Hendrix Experience to The Pub as part of two rock-and-roll shows hitting the venue in September.

Reviving Hendrix with all-star guitar licks, Steve Edmonds Band is travelling up the east coast of Oz for two performances at the Airlie Beach Hotel: one as the Jim Hendrix Tribute Show, and the other as his own Blues, Rock & Boogie extravaganza.

It starts on Saturday when the amp kicks in and the electric guitar starts purring with the two-part rock experience of the Steve Edmonds Band Jimi Hendrix Tribute Show.

This tour de force will have you on the air guitar as it pieces through Jimi Hendrix’s most popular tunes.

In part one, the band pay tribute to Hendrix’s most famous live performances from Woodstock to Monterey Pop, featuring classic hits like Voodoo Child, Foxy Lady, Purple Haze, Little Wing and many more favourites.

Then, in part two, Edmond’s and his band dedicate time to the classic rock songs of the 70s – anthems from the likes of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, The Doors, Thin Lizzy, Cream, ZZ Top and many more.

In a breathless-on-the-dance floor performance, they hammer through some of the biggest guitar anthems of the biggest bands of 70s rock in a must for fans of the great, classic style of guitar-driven rock.

It was the sound that made the 70s so iconic - and it’s certainly a not-to-miss for Jimi Hendrix devotees.

Then they’re back on Sunday with the Blues, Rock & Boogie Father’s Day special, a ferocious dose of killer classic rock, frighteningly funky blues, and monster guitar riffs.

From Sydney, the band has wowed audiences across the country with high-energy, funky blues, roots and rock.

They’re led by Steve Edmonds, whose professional career spans over three decades; a guitarist who’s recorded and toured with some of the country’s biggest luminaries: Jimmy Barnes, Billy Thorpe, Renee Geyer, Human Nature, Delta Goodrem, Shannon Noll, Doug Parkinson, Matt Finish, Hippo’s, Doug Williams, Australian Idol Band, and many more.

As singer, songwriter and band leader Edmonds has seen over three decades of constant sessions, touring, playing established festivals and creating residencies in an ailing live music environment on the East Coast of NSW.

He delivers a live set of killer music with skill and experience in his set that encompasses a wide variety of Roots/Rock/Blues music punctuated by Edmond’s acclaimed Hendrix and Vaughan interpretations, original material, hit list of classic rock guitar anthems and a respectful nod to some of the greatest feel-good bands and songs of our generation.

It’s a guaranteed knockout performance – the second in just as many days.

Grab your dad and treat him to a performance of the rock that had him in a Purple Haze for all of the 70s – rock on!
