The Deluxe Blues Band

Band Overview

The Deluxe Blues Band

Ol’ Skool Blues for a Good Time

The Sunshine Coast’s own Good Ol’ Boys of Blues & Roots.

After more than 35 years of crossing paths in different bands, late night jams, pub gigs and festival stages across the state, four old mates have finally landed in the same outfit: The Deluxe Blues Band.

Built around acoustic guitar, double bass, driving harp, stripped back drums and the warm tones of old school amps, Deluxe Blues Band keeps things authentic, relaxed and firmly in the pocket.

With Chris Dent originals woven through classic Blues and Roots tunes, the band delivers the kind of easy-going, good-time show that feels honest, timeless and unmistakably real.

Perfect for festivals, clubs, breweries, community stages, private functions and parties, Deluxe Blues Band brings warmth, personality and genuine Blues spirit to every performance.

Good Ol’ Boys. Old hands. New band. Endless groove.
