Harmonics at The Semaphore Workers Club 2009

The Semaphore Workers Club recently hosted Adelaide swinging rhythm and blues band The Harmonics on Friday 16 August 2009.  The Harmonics played to a very enthusiastic crowd of over 180 people showcasing songs from a diverse range of well know authentic blues artists including Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers, Fabulous Thunderbirds, John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker and Tommy Castro to name a few.  The Harmonics also took great delight in celebrating tracks from not so well known American blues artists including Walter ‘Wolfman’ Washington, John Juke Logan, Jimmy Thackery and the Drivers, Bobby Rush, Duke Robillard and the Phantom Blues Band.

Formed in mid 2008 The Harmonics are fronted by lead singer and guitarist Russell Stuart and Greg ‘Bobby Blues’ Carmody, local Adelaide Harmonica player, singer and percussionist. The Harmonics also include Paul ‘PT’ Turner on drums, Dave Martin on bass guitar, Neil Kowald on keyboards and Steve Toll on Tenor Saxophone.
