Frank Sultana and James Grim Round 1! Newtown

Frank Sultana has been releasing quality original blues music since his 2011 debut album ‘Blues from the Lost Motel’. Today he has 4 albums and 3 eps under his belt, and is currently in the studio working on 2 new releases. Steeped in old blues feel, with a dirty , whiskey drenched vibe, whether solo or as a band, chances are that Frank has wowed audiences in your neck of the woods in the last few years. He has shared the stage with the likes of Gary Clarke Jnr, Tony Joe White and Princes’ New Power Generation among many other international acts as well as local greats like Diesel, Ian Moss, and James Reyne. Check out his recent releases ‘Loving You’ and ‘Walk Away’. If you like your blues dirty, then you will love Frank Sultana. This October, Frank will be joined by Melbourne royalty in the James Grim Big Band. For several years, James Grim lead the infamous Melbourne outfit, Brothers Grim and the Blue Murder, and enjoyed success as a juggernaut live act. James has traded slide guitar for horns and keys and has produced a great collection of new songs backed by a who’s who of Melbourne players. These 2 charismatic gentlemen have shared the stage on more than a few occasions but not for the last few years, so these will be very special shows indeed.
