We are thrilled to be hosting the Checkerboard Lounge Trio next week - Good Friday 18th April 2025, 7.30pm
‘the most intensely electrifying experience in Australian blues today’ ...The Age
Evolving over thirty five years Checkerboard Lounge has become a cult-like institution. The brainchild of renowned singer, songwriter and drummer Carl Pannuzzo, the current musicians including Tim Neal and Shannon Bourne is arguably the band’s strongest ever line up, breathing fire and virtuosity into blues classic soul and roots originals.
Checkerboard leave musicians and audiences enthralled by the open-minded creativity of a rhythm led band.
The spirit is palpable from the first bar of their performances, with an almost childlike sense of play, they reinvent the music every time with authenticity and currency, and continue to appeal to old and new fans.
Checkerboard are a tour-de-force delivering honesty, integrity and truthful musicianship, the very essence of a live music experience.
The bands improvisational bent means that no two shows are the same, fans can always expect the unexpected. Performances take on a life of their own with songs transformed on stage at the whim of one of the band members into a surprisingly different feel or even genre.
World-class musicianship mean Checkerboard are a powerhouse to be reckoned with. The evidence of their time playing together, staying true to their hearts and each other, shows an integrity and originality that delivers a potent brew of blues, roots and soul that is undeniable.
$25 + Transaction Fee at Eventfinda or $30 at the door.
