C.W. Stoneking

C.W. Stoneking is back on the Sunshine Coast for a night of tall tales and gorgeous melodies. It’s probably easiest to describe C.W. Stoneking as a blues artist, but the term disguises what makes his music special. A 1920s pre-war blues sound is key, but there’s almost equal helpings of New Orleans jazz, jug band music, hokum, country and calypso, and he’s lately brought in elements of jump jive, early rock’n’roll and gospel. His gift is that he brings them all together without anything sounding out of place. He finds the strands that connect all of these different styles and gently braids them together.

When: Saturday March 27, 7:30pm

Where: The Imperial Hotel Eumundi, 1 Etheridge Street, Eumundi.

Tickets: From $55 via, imperialhoteleumundi.com.au/whats-on-listing/c-w-stoneking-1
