Twisting their way through blues, funk and rock 'Dukesy and The Hazzards' feature the talents of Nick Brown (vocals/guitar), Dave Evans (bass/keys/vocals) and Adrian Violi (drums/vocals). With a firm respect for the traditional side of blues 'Dukesy' combine this with their love of groove and the freedom and improvisation of jazz and funk resulting in a tasty, modern blend for all to enjoy!
Coming together in 2009 (but having known each other for years) the boys released their debut EP - a 6 track combo of rollicking shuffles, solid groove and a little room to move (just to keep things a little relaxed!). Featuring 5 originals and a cleverly chosen cover ('You're A Mystery' by the legendary Aussie blues favourites The Bondi Cigars) 'Dukesy' have been enjoying airplay on many independent radio stations such as PBS, RRR, 3MDR and Bluesbeat across the country over the last year. On a wider scale Dukesy have shared the stage recently with the likes of Geoff Achison and Continental Robert Susz and were awarded the Blues Underground Network's 'Best Australian Album' of 2010 getting them even more exposure.
Individually the fellas have performed nationally and internationally in various settings (Blues, Jazz, Rock, Funk, Country, Latin, Covers, Originals, Theatre, Sessions etc). As a band they collectively call on this extensive live experience to put on a live show firmly rooted in the blues with a modern funky twist....check em out!
