Next mid-week SJC event:

Jive Bombers

Formed in 1985, the Jive Bombers have been performing constantly all around Australia at music festivals, clubs and functions. They have won prestigious music awards for both jazz (APRA music awards 2001) and rhythm & blues (Wintersun Festival 2002) and have gained praise as one of the finest bands in the country. With the return of Don Hopkins on piano/vocals the Jive Bombers are back to their original line up, almost, and we now have Mark Roulston on double bass/vocals. 

The band members have performed and/or recorded with some of the world’s greatest artists including The Beatles, Little Richard, Long John Baldry and many more.

Don Hopkins came second place at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, 2012 competing against 84 other regional winners from around the globe in the solo/duo category. 
The music ranges from swing, blues, rock n roll, boogie woogie, and latin. The band has released three CDs.

One of our most popular bands!
