About
The Tombstone Gamblers is a band for hire in Albury, NSW.
Out of the Riverina Murray, a band that sits blues at the centre and lets rock and country push in from either side. Twin guitar leads, strong vocals, and a rhythm section that keeps the groove where you can feel it, with funk turning up in the phrasing more often than you'd expect from a blues outfit. Their covers come from artists like Ruthie Foster, Danielle Nicole, Fiona Boyes, Karen Lovely, Ally Venable, Rosie Flores, Tina Turner and Elles Bailey, which is a more interesting well than most pub bands draw from. Experienced players, all their own gear, and they only need electricity.
The show
Country, rock and blues pushed together, with the blues roots doing most of the heavy lifting underneath. Twin guitar leads and strong vocals sit over bass lines and a solid, punchy beat, and there is funk in the phrasing that gives the whole thing a bit more swing than a straight blues set. TSG are experienced players and it shows in the control as much as the volume. The material moves across genres easily enough that a mixed crowd tends to find something it knows.
On the day
Every piece of equipment belongs to the band, so electricity is the sole thing required at your end.
