Smoke Stack Rhino are bringing the mojo back. Hailing from the swamps of the Yarra Valley in Australia, the blues-rock quartet has been wowing audiences with their powerhouse performances and authentic musicianship. With a name that’s just one heavy animal away from the blues (think Howlin’ Wolf), the band is becoming a festival favourite across Australia, with recent appearances at Grampians Grape Escape, Healesville Festival, Warrandyte Festival and Blues Inn Bruthen. After closing the main stage at the 2024 Blues at Bridgetown Festival in WA, the festival director declared, “If there had been a roof, they would have lifted it off.” With originals like Clearwater River (honouring the regional music scene), Woolamai (inspired by Phillip Island’s surf beaches), and Old Silver Bullet (referencing the Wedge-Tailed Eagle), their music celebrates Australiana, leading Beat to brand the group as the country’s “most exciting blues and roots rockers”. The band recently expanded its sound through the addition of Lachlan Bruce (keys/vocals) and Lyle Jenkins (drums), joining Ash King (vocals/guitar) and Shane Andison (bass), opening a world of musical possibility as the group starts to write its next album.
