A VIDEO INTERVIEW WITH STEVE EDMONDS

-

Edmonds has been a bonafide bluesman and active member of the Australian music scene for over 35 years. Throughout his star-studded tenure, Edmonds has stayed true to his roots guitar ethos and groove sensibilit­ies, accomplish­ing most duties with a modest Japanese Strat and combo setup.

A venerable blues-rock trio for over 20 years, the Steve Edmonds Band holds venue records up and down the Australian east coast, performing three nights a week, 50 weeks a year. Edmonds serves as a director consultant for the Australian

JimiHendri­xExperienc­e show, showcasing ten guitarists at a time, and consequent­ly runs his own Hendrix&Heroes tribute show.

In addition to the above, Edmonds also leads rockabilly and roots band Mescalero, as well as the inimitable Steve Edmonds Blues Quartet.

A Fender endorsee for many years, Edmonds favours a Rory Gallagher Custom Shop Strat and Fender Bassbreake­r 45w amp.
