Gerry Joe Weise

Original music comes first at a Gerry Joe Weise show. Roughly 70 per cent of a set is original, the other 30 per cent covers, all of it drawing on blues, jazz and rock played live. Gerry Joe sings, plays guitar and writes the songs, with several albums out and international tours behind them, and representation through Blues Breaking Records in Chicago, Musea Records in Europe and Contemporary ARC Australia. Festival stages include Byron Bay Bluesfest, Mitchell Creek Rock N Blues Fest and Blues on Broadbeach. Line-ups run from solo up to a quintet, so the sound can grow with the room. It's a listening show for a crowd that likes its blues properly played. Based in Byron Bay, with travel nationwide.
