Some bands are no longer playing, but are still listed for historical reference, others may be largely playing outside Australia, but have their roots here.

| The music captures a mood reminiscent of the Rat Pack or Louis Prima in Las Vegas in the 50s - smooth swingin' jazz, rockin' blues and good ol' boogie woogie. Their repertoire also features more contemporary music in a vein similar to artists as diverse as James Brown, Ray Charles & Harry Connick Jr.

Harry DeLuxe
| Through the years the styles and songs of performers like Big Maybelle, Big Mamma Thornton, Etta James, Besse Smith and Ella Fitzgerald appealed to Harry and fed her dreams of not only being a part of, but standing shoulder to shoulder with the Queens of the retro styles of Jazz, blues, swing, rockabilly and rock'n'roll. Whether you experience Harry as a solo performer, wooing you and making you believe you are her Pin-Up Queen, or you're on the dance floor jitterbuggin' to Roll 'o' the Dice, one thing is certain - you will never forget the burning halo of red hair under the spotlight, her barrelhouse blues tunes, her soulful ballads or being slain by her ballsy renditions of rough and ready rockabilly tunes. Harry has a range of influences and loves to perform a range of retro and contemporary styles. |

Formed over nine beers and a mutual love of all things rockabilly; country licks, standing up, thumping bass, slapback vocals and songs about cars and girls, the three chaps who form the powerhouse backbone of erstwhile Perth pop rock band Murphy's Lore decided that their time was NOW. Rockabilly music, if it needs to be pigeonholed (and it really doesn't, however), is a country and rock and roll crossover that defined the late 50's and brought stardom to Elvis, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash amongst many others. While the Stray Cats and other noted revival artists have added a distinctly punk ethos to the rockabilly epithet, no one can deny the raw energy and pure fun delivered by swingin' rockabilly tunes. | Street Artist Management Pty Ltd
The combined talents of Boogie-woogie pianist Peter Stone (ex-Busher's Lone Rangers) and ace blues guitarist Mark Gordon (Rick Steel's Hot Biscuit band) has helped to make the Roadmasters a real favourite with fans of 50's R&B, rock'n'roll and rockin' blues. The boys share lead vocals, and are backed by a swingin rhythm section - this is a band that really knows how to rock it up, and keep you on that dance floor! Buckle up, for some "automotive blues"! |
Described as "hip-shaking voodoo rock n roll", Rocket to Memphis are like no other band you've ever seen. Don't expect to come and practice your quickstep to this lot - but for 45 mins of smoldering, exhilarating entertainment, they really are a must-see! The stunning Coo Bennett (who occasionally adds her sultry vocals to the High Rollin' Rhythm Kings live set) will have you dancing the "Voodoo Twist" before you know what's hit you!
