POSTPONED: The Sidemen Show

This performance is temporarily postponed. New dates will be annouced as soon as possible.

THE SIDEMEN SHOW is a program of songs chosen by each of The Sidemen - songs that first inspired them to become musicians, songs they wrote or wished they’d written.

The show was conceived by Steve Banks, a Byron Bay local, after a conversation with man-about-town and bassist Greg Lyon, at one of Greg’s local Hip Operation gigs. Further serendipity brought the rest of the sidemen together for a marquee party in March of last year. Greg found drummer Grant Gerathy (ex-John Butler Trio) while Steve brought his two confederates Jeff Burstin and Bruce Haymes up from Melbourne. Home on r&r, world-tourist sideman Rick Fenn came in on guitar

The band’s credentials blow up a perfect storm out of Jo Jo Zep and the Black Sorrows, 10CC and the John Butler Trio, jazz-rockers Crossfire and the Bachelors from Prague plus backup for the likes of Renée Geyer, Archie Roach and the Bull Sisters, not to mention Georgie Fame and Jack Bruce - and that's the short list.

Playing favourites, Steve & the Sidemen are heading to Drysdale .... a whole lotta Oz with an English thing, ready to testify and having way too much fun to leave it at ‘one night only’
