has established an enviable platform for the twin peaks of singer/dynamic harp player Jamie Symons and Strat- wrangler Harvey to work their magic. Deriving elements from the earthy sounds of the ’40s
B
and ’50s blues masters they also have the magic of ’90s and current crop of successful blues and roots artists, soulful feel of ’60s and ’70s British blues and a new twist on electric harmonica to make your ears prick up. They are taking it a step up and to the left. Blind Lemon has wowed the fans at music festivals up
and down the east coast, including Byron Bay Blues and Roots, and at the Gympie Music Muster. In May 2010, their electric live performances of their new
album Drinker’s Lament at Blues On Broadbeach (where they have appeared since its inception in 2001) was a welcomed surprise to all those in attendance and added to the band’s huge following. In 2008, the band won the Blues Association of South
East Queensland’s prestigious performer of the year award and, as a result, was a knockout at the Australian Blues Music Festival in Goulburn early in 2009. Recently, their songs Sugar Box, Little Girl were highly commended in 2010 Q-Song awards. With Australia-wide airplay on Triple J, the fourth album
(Drinkers’ Lament) released 2010, has a Blues foundation with a diverse edge featuring songs which are darker, edgier and they encompass all the drama and energy that is so evident in Blind Lemon’s live performances. They will be playing at
the Wickham Park Hotel on Thursday, May 31.
Taking it a step up, and to the left
lind Lemon have evolved from hardworking journeymen to one of south-east Queensland’s most respected acts. The fl uid and funky Blind Lemon engine room
