Mojo Bluesmen

If you think that a run in with a semi trailer might slow this pair down – you can think again – Mojo Bluesmen are about to take on Splendour In The Grass 2012! Hard-livin', cop-dodgin', car-lodgin', guitar-totin', slide-notin', harmonica-wielding, drum-beatin, dream-chasin', highway-gracin', sidewalk-dwellin', mile-coverin' mean and raw dirty blues motherfuckers. MOJO BLUESMEN are the real deal and are making a huge comeback!

Since Tim’s accident in late 2011 which seen his body busted up and van turned into scrap metal, Mojo Bluesmen have kept on doing what they do best – delivering their addictive dirty blues bigger and better than ever before!
MB’s tunes have appeared throughout the hit TV series ‘Housos’ and later this year you will be able to hear them again in ‘Housos –The Movie’ which they recorded with actor and creator of the series Pauly Fenech. The duo also played for the second year in a row at Byron Bay’s Bluesfest and were placed in the top 5 Blues and Roots artists at the Music Oz awards in Sydney.
While Tims accident may have put Mojo Bluesmen out of action a while, it has at the same time made the pair all the more determined to continue with their music. Early August will see MB record their new album inspired by the crash ‘Morphine and Mayhem’ which is set to be released in late September.
Bio…
They live in their van & tour the country delivering their raw style of dirty powerhouse blues wherever they find an audience. You will find them anywhere from a street corner busking - to the stages of some Australia’s leading music festivals.

Comprising of two of the county’s most brilliant blues musicians, Kiam Adcock (impromptu vocals and harmonica) and Tim Everett (slide guitar, stomp box and fuel can) joined forces back in January 2007. Tim, who was travelling around Australia, stopped into Port Macquarie were Kiam was busking with his harmonica. Tim threw Kiam $20, told him he played a bit of blues guitar and asked if wanted to jump in for the ride... and so, MOJO BLUESMEN was born. Since forming, MB have clocked up over 2000 busking gigs and sold in excess of 15,000 CD's. Drawing influence from 'old school blues' artists such as Muddy Waters, Sonny Terry, Robert Johnson - along with more contemporary acts such as Ash Grunwald, Dallas Frasca, The Fumes, Marshall and Chase the Sun, MB say they find inspiration for their music in "anything with some fucking feeling!”.

Although MB have primarily been a busking act, they have also had the honour of sharing the bill with music icons such as Bob Dylan, BB King, ZZ Top, CW Stoneking, Jeff Lang, Tony Joe White, Xavier Rudd to name a few.
They have secured a place at Byron Bay’s East Coast Blues and Roots Festival for 2 years running and also appeared at the Festival of the Sun, Port Macquarie.
The duo have gigged for rival outlaw bikie gangs, remote mining camps and even were resident band at a strip club.
In late 2011 Mojo Bluesmen set off on a busking extravaganza of the USA. Covering 12 states in 2 months of non-stop blues, they made their way from San Francisco to Santiago stopping in a New Orleans and Nashville. Now back on home soil, Mojo Bluesmen continue to expand on their musical experience as they continue on their musical journey.
