Saturday 16 November 2019
It's our eleventh show for the year in the new format
Come to our Saturday Night Live Blues and Club Session!
With TWO great acts...
The Steve Rae Band
The Steve Rae Band came into being in late 2017... after guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Steve Rae was introduced to drummer Damo - with a view to forming a Blues-based band. After some initial line-up shuffles, the band drafted in Perth saxophonist Douglass Jones (with whom Steve had played, while a member of the Blues band: John Smoker's Midnight Jammers) and bassist James Johnson, to complete the line-up.
Rooted in the Blues, but branching into jazz-tinged funk, Blues-rock and soul, the Steve Rae Band draws from a diverse range of original material penned by Steve, coupled with covers of the band's favourite Blues / Blues-rock tunes. Steve's earthy vocals are supported by the powerful, driving, yet classy rhythm section of Damo and James... which in turn provides the ideal backdrop for Doug's soaring sax solos and Steve's sizzling lead guitar.

Supported by Lab Rats
|
Lab Rats bring guitar-driven modern rock, blues and funk from the US to the West Coast Blues Club. Think Tony Spinner, Chris Durate, Colin James, Phil X, Damon Fowler, new ZZ Top and the list goes on... "Rats" are Russell on lead guitar & vocals - ex Flashpoint, Creeping Jesus, Nasty Dogz; Drew on bass & backing vocals - ex Bad Penny, Doctor Velvet Band; Tony on drums - ex Stonefish, Vivid. Stage experience in spades from these guys...

A fantastic success!!
....by the beach, at Churchill Park Rockingham
Blues Alive - Art in the Park Festival 2012
Again, this year was a fantastic, free, family, fun, active community event - that featured live Blues music, heaps of stalls and activities and true Rockingham spirit.
Presented by the WEST COAST BLUES CLUB, this event has continued to grow from strength to strength. This year, we had some great new and established bands and solo artists from all around the Rockingham area and also further south - all the way from Bunbury. Our MC on stage, was the new club president Nick Leach, ably supported at the club marquee by the lovely Donna (our very capable club secretary). Blues Alive Art In The Park festival, now in its 9th year, attracted hundreds of families to the foreshore of Rockingham.
The audience relaxed on the green grass, beneath the shady trees near the ocean, and enjoyed the entertainment, or browsed among the art and craft stalls. Children enjoyed all the activities the festival had to offer, or tickled the taste buds with the international cuisine. This year the Blues Alive - Art in the Park festival once again included a special component, inviting special needs & services and also acknowledged those local State Olympic Swimming champions who brought home medals this year.
The Mandurah Ocean Club took this festival to a new level in 2012 and stretched the activies down to the ocean with a state regatta, inviting all WA Outriggers to enjoy Rockingham's coastline.
If you want to get involved with helping our great team at West Coast Blues Club, just email us at westcoastblues2001@yahoo.com.au. We'd love for you to help us out at the gigs. It's very rewarding and enjoyable. Sometimes we get free tickets to major Blues events too.:)

The West Coast Blues Club burst onto the scene - with its opening night - on 1st August 2001, when an appreciative crowd of around 150 people enjoyed a great night's music south of the river.
The local house band was supplemented with several Perth Blues Club stalwarts, who had made the trip down from the "big smoke" of Perth to give the club a warm welcome on to the "live" Blues Music scene in WA.
The West Coast Blues Club, along with the Perth Blues Club, the Southwest Blues Club and the Albany Blues Club, will continue to provide musicians with a variety of venues. All the clubs mutually help to spread the Blues Music word amongst the West Australian music-loving public.
Musos and punters alike... Get down to the West Coast Blues Club... for great "live" blues entertainment, on the west coast... over Fremantle way...
Our new "Live Entertainment" Venue since June 2016, is the Navy Club, 64 High Street (corner of Pakenham Street), Fremantle 6160.

Cheers!
