*JUNGLE JIM SMITH*

Doors Open 6.00pm

Music from 7pm

Armed with a 3-string cigar box guitar, trusty 6-string, and shed-built foot drums, Jungle Jim Smith is a one-man-blues-band with a rock’n’roll heart. Delivered with a raw croon, he blends dirty blues and swamp boogie that pumps with rockabilly grit, forging a full-band sound uniquely his own.
After many years fronting bands, Jungle Jim began his foray into one-man-bandship in 2021. With songwriting inspired by OG blues legends such as Leadbelly and Blind Willie Johnson, his impressive arsenal of originals are predominantly upbeat and danceable, interspersed with soulful ballads that wander into nostalgic jam-lands.
Based in the rolling hills of South Gippsland, Jungle Jim Smith relentlessly tours Victoria and beyond, bringing his up-beat boogie vibes to all kinds of beer gardens, bars, small halls and big breweries. A fast favourite in the state circuit, he has played numerous festivals including Echuca-Moama Winter Blues, Boolarra Folk, Aireys Inlet Music Festival and is a regular fav aboard The Blues Train in Queenscliff.
