Our birthday gig at the @thewoodlandscoburg was so humbling. Some incredible musicians came down and jumped up to play, the room was absolutely packed, and so many familiar faces from the past 11 years were there. Seeing so many of our regulars together again reminded us exactly why Blues Roulette exists in the first place. This thing has never just been about a band. It’s always been about a community of people who love music and keep showing up month after month, year after year. We truly couldn’t have done this without all of you. The vibe in the room last night was just magic. From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for being part of this journey. Here's to the next chapter ❤️ If you were there on Sunday, drop a photo in the comments! and tag someone who’s been part of the Blues Roulette journey. Don't forget to come to the@geelongjazzandbluesfestival this weekend! We will be on Saturday with @franksultanamusic at noon. Then 5pm with @iamiseula , @jesse_valach_ , @thisisryanlim , @johnnytesoriero and myself. Sunday with @jimihocking Love to see you there!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the first jam of the year and helped make it such a stellar night of music. Seeing the room full, the bandstand busy, and the energy flowing felt pretty damn good. 🙏 Last night at the Woodlands Hotel was something special. So many familiar faces, new faces, wild moments, deep grooves, risks taken — exactly what Blues Roulette jams are meant to be. If you were there (or wish you were) and want to stay in the loop, we send 1–2 emails a month, max, with: • upcoming jam dates • special shows • and the occasional behind-the-scenes clip you won’t see on socials No spam. Just music and community. 👉 Join the mailing list here: 🔗 [link in bio / drop link] Big love to our Blues Roulette fam — see you at the next one 💙

As our eleventh birthday is coming up… I’ve been looking back over the last ten years. So many good shows, friends new and old, soo many lessons learned and re learned.. I’m not clear about what coming next for us.. but, I am some thankful for the core of our little “band” @johnnytesoriero @thisisryanlim @slatty_d @jimihocking @sallyingramdrums @itsandymcgarvie @travis_actual But the hundreds of interstate and international guests that sing the wheel.. we are so blessed to have played with you. @chicagoblueswoman @franksultanamusic @nathan.beretta @yahni5 All the venues, @beneathdriverlane has been amazing to us over the last few years.. and for a few before that. @the_catfish_fitzroy & @sparrowsphillysteaks help us when it was all just an idea.. and look what we have build. Thank you.
