G’day beautiful people! Welcome to the Coogee Bay Road Band’s website! We’re a covers and originals Rock / Blues band from the great suburb of Coogee, in Sydney New South Wales. We have been around since beginning of 2022 and played multiple blues gigs and Aussie pub-rock shows in venues across Sydney. But let us introduce ourselves properly!
First up, we’ve got John, the founder and leader of the pack. He’s a legend on the harmonica and the guitar, belting out some mean tunes and making it swing. He’s also behind most of our cracking songs, penning lyrics that’ll make ya think.
Next, Joe on the keys, giving our tunes that extra sparkle, and gosh darn a ripper of a singer too, bringing some sweet soulful harmonies as well as his own style. You’ll catch him tickling the piano ivories, thumping away on the keys and getting the crowd jumping!
Now, meet Fox, our bass player and backing vocalist. This bloke knows how to lay down a solid rhythm and keep the whole band in sync. He adds that extra oomph to our sound on the bottom end and keeps the energy pumping, oh and a dash of humour along the way! During his musical journey, Fox has played with some great musos in Europe and back here in Australia – seriously some serious shit, just to put it lightly!
Last but not least, it’s Sal on the drums. He lays down some solid groove, pounding those skins and making them ring. This guy has a truly mind-boggling track-record!
Now, when it comes to our music, we’re all about mixing it up. We take classic rock, blues, and Eastern European folk influences and mash ’em together for a sound that’ll get your toes tapping, hands flapping and your heart racing. But it ain’t just about the tunes…
We pride ourselves on our clever melodies and harmonies, always trying to find new ways to make them shine and keep evolving our unique style. And how about the lyrics? Yeah, that’s when the crazy stuff comes out! We tell stories that span across from one song to another, with references and connections that’ll keep you guessing and coming back for more. Oh, and of course we have an extensive list of great groovy blues and classic rock covers.
We even have tonne of merchandise inspired by our songs – so if you’ve liked the music, don’t forget to check out our merch shop!
So, grab a cold one, put on your dancing shoes, and come join us on the Coogee Bay Road Band journey. We’ll make ya laugh, we’ll make ya think, and we’ll make ya feel part of our crazy CBRB ride. Cheers, all!
