Jack Derwin's latest release "Covered All in Blue" fuses elements of folk, rock and a little old school blues, yet is true to the proud Australian sound. It is an eclectic acoustic collection, inspired by travels with a guitar, woman, blue's harp and never wanting to get caught in the mainstream. The Album has received extensive airplay and reached No 2 on the Australian Blues and Roots Charts this year.

Fueled with passion and filled with all styles of instrumentation, you will be blown away by the musicality of haunting harmonicas, slide guitar and Jack’s timbered vocals. Jack will be accompanied selectively on the night by four of Sydney’s most respected musicians. Stephanie Jansen (vocals), Geoff Jones (Bass & Guitar), Paul Cutlan (Saxophone) and Kosta Theodoridis (Drums). Jack’s stomp box adds a percussive sense to the performance alongside the
acoustic guitars, which are used as a multi-lingual instrument throughout his new album,

Songs such as Jonson Street is descriptive and atmospheric about meandering along the beautiful walkways of Byron Bay and meeting its engaging characters. There is another song about the charisma and charm of the “The Rails”; a railway station with no train, but a bar with vibrant, alternative music lovers.
Also added is “Covered all in Blue” the title track. This quintessential love song is about the relationship of two artists; the artistic garden designer and the musician. The haunting, Take me Back Home, is reflective of life in a harsh yet beautiful area of Australia and a yearning and need to revisit and connect with the spirit of this land inhabited originally by the Kamilaroi people. Walkabout Blues describes being caught between flooding plains and the nearest town; being “stuck in mud where there should be grass, the relentless sky just buckets down”.
