JEROME SMITH - JOINING US IN 2022 ALONG WITH HIS BAND, JJ ROME

Jerome has had a fantastic music career. Born in New York City, he's worked with groups like The Manhattans, The Persuaders, Eddie Floyd, and Rufus Thomas. He co-wrote and recorded as a member of the New York rock group "Body Bag" which led to work with Mick Jagger, followed by gigs with Divinyls and then Keith Richards. Jerome moved to Sydney Australia 1996 where he has since worked with Bridie King, Billy Thorpe, Jackie Orsaczky, Jimmy Barnes and Ian Moss.

This year he joins St Kilda Blues Festival with his heavy-hitting 4pc blues band JJ ROME - featuring bassist Roger McLachlan (Stars, Renee Geyer, Farnams The Voice) and drummer Jeff Consi (Badloves , Nuno Bettencourt , Michael Oliphant) and guest guitarists.

FOOLS will be joining us again this year, a warm up before playing at the Byron Blues Fest. Even bigger and better than before - If you were lucky enough to see them in action at last years St Kilda Blues Festival then you will know they are not to be missed!
FOOLS consists of a 13 piece band- yes 13!. They are one of Australia’s most audacious proponents of the rock and roll genre – healthily under the influence of soul, blues and Americana, and brimming with originality and rareness. Check them out below:

"Blues on the street No cover charge, it’s rough

"Blues on the street
No cover charge, it’s rough and its free
Blues on the street, down by the sea
by the Port Phillip bayou, the way it used to be
Cool Jam session in the old Prince bar
I can hear that good, good, rockin’ guitar
Blues on the street
In the good old key of E
On Fitzroy Street St Kilda the way it ought to be..." - with love from andy.freeman.baylor
