May 09Australian Blues, Rock Guitarist, and Singer Simon Kinny-Lewis is set to launch his brand new single “Invisible Chain” right here at Sean & Dolly’s! Simon, who recently signed with major record label ZYX Music (Germany) for his album “Pouring Water On A Drowning Man”, is known for his boundary-pushing approach to blues rock guitar and vocals. His latest project continues to showcase his extraordinary slide guitar skills, blending powerful storytelling with incredible musicianship.
Fresh off his collaboration with US guitar legend Robben Ford on his previous album “King Biscuit”, Simon is joined by a world-class rhythm section including Christian Young on bass, Tony Boyd on drums, and Sean Costello on keyboards and harmonica. Get ready for an unforgettable night of music.
Brett Garsed (guitarist for John Farnham) calls Simon’s new album, “a tour de force of singing, songwriting, and slide guitar. Tone, skill, and soul — it’s got it all.”
Simon’s impressive resume includes performing and recording with blues icons like Robben Ford, Chris Cain, Josh Smith, Kirk Fletcher, and Ray Beadle. Not only a virtuoso guitarist, but also a powerful singer and songwriter, Simon’s sound is a perfect blend of tradition, modernity, and raw emotion.
Blues Rock Review says: “Simon Kinny-Lewis (SKL) is the full package. His guitar playing is up there with the best guitarists of today.”
His album “King Biscuit” (2021), mixed by Robben Ford and Casey Wasner (Grammy Award-winning engineer), earned international recognition, reaching the highest ranks of the blues scene. Blues Blast Magazine USA describes Simon as a “virtuoso guitarist,” praising his “blistering speakers with chromatic runs, modal flights of fancy, and arpeggiated passing chords.”
With over 3 successful US tours, Simon’s collaborations continue to inspire audiences. His albums “A Day in San Jose”and “Another Day in San Jose” were recorded live with the Ford Brothers Blues Band and showcased Simon’s masterful skill.
Simon’s guitar influences have even earned praise from Steve Lukather (5-time Grammy winner, Toto, Michael Jackson), who credits Simon’s voice and guitar playing on the title track of his debut vocal album “Street Blues” (2016): “Your voice has a little Bonamassa in it…which is cool. Love the tune too. KILLER solo.”
Join us at Sean & Dolly’s for a night of blistering guitar solos, heart-pounding rhythms, and the soulful sounds of Simon Kinny-Lewis and his powerhouse band.
