CLUB WILLOUGHBY – 13 MARCH 2020

Our next show proves that good fortune can occur on Friday the 13th… because on Friday March 13, we are thrilled to welcome back the one and only STEVE EDMONDS with his superb all-night show, HENDRIX & HEROES. 

This unique 2-part performance pays tribute to the man regarded as the best guitarist the world has ever known, along with many of his contemporaries. It’s a Blues Rock experience in which Steve and his brilliant band take us on a 1st set Tour de Force through all the classic Hendrix tunes. Then in Set 2, we’re left breathless on the dance floor as the band hammers through some of the biggest guitar anthems of the biggest bands of the 70’s Rock genre!

“Steve Edmonds' HENDRIX & HEROES features an amazing display of Australian talent playing the timeless classics of Jimi Hendrix and a host of other Guitar Greats. Steve himself is a guitarist extraordinnaire."

- Australian Guitar Magazine

Steve Edmonds’ HENDRIX & HEROES is a MUST for fans of great ‘60s/’70s-style, guitar-driven music, especially Jimi Hendrix devotees. On Friday March 13, Eastern Lounge will experience a ferocious dose of killer Classic Rock, frighteningly Funky Blues and monster guitar! 

Steve is renowned as a ‘sideman to the stars’, having lent his skills to some of Australia's finest artists including Jimmy Barnes, Renee Geyer, Doug Parkinson, Billy Thorpe, Margaret Urlich, Chain and Matt Finish to name a few. But he’s also a star in his own right.

It is with the immortal songs of the great Jimi Hendrix that Steve most associates. “I play great hits like ‘All Along The Watchtower’, ‘Castles Made of Sand’ and ‘Voodoo Chile’ and it’s at once uplifting and terrifying”, says Steve. “I attempt to capture as many ‘Hendrixisms’ as possible, but merge these with the liberating ideal of trying to make each piece my own (as I believe Jimi would have insisted.)” 

This is a totally FUN night out for real Rock ‘n’ Rollers!
