Melbourne soul blues outfit The Tonalists play a smooth bluesy, jazzy, funky collection of instrumental and vocal hits from the 60's, 70's and beyond.
Featuring Mick Coll on Hammond and pianos, Jason Kane on guitar and lap steel, Nigel Wright on drums and percussion, their sound is retro but with a modern twist, often 'sampling' the originals and looping over the patterns, overlaying 'tone on tone'.
Their setlist includes tunes by Lou Donaldson, Leon Russell, Gill Scott-Heron to name a few...
