Known for their dynamic performances and rich, vintage sound, The Blue Souls blend classic grooves with fresh originality.

key to the band’s distinctive sound.

He’s joined by The Holy Spirits who feature James W. du Plessis on drums, electric slide guitarist Benny “The Gentleman” Mc (Black Smith Hopkins / Pete Wells) and Nick Potts (The Moffs). The band performed at The St. Kilda Blues Fest ‘26 to rave reviews.
