Devil's Kiosk bring the blues to town
THE Devil's Kiosk sound derives from elements of the earthy sounds of the '40s and '50s blues masters, the soulful feel of '60s and '70s British blues as well as the virtuosic magic of more contemporary blues artists.
It features the same twin peaks of singer and dynamic harp player Jamie Symons (2013, 2014 and 2015 Hohner Golden Harmonica Championship winner).
Devil's Kiosk have taken it a step up and to the left, having wowed fans in recent years at music festivals across Australia including the Woodford Folk Festival and the Gympie Muster.
In May 2012 they unveiled their new name and direction at Blues on Broadbeach (an event at which they have appeared since its inception in 2002) adding many faces to their growing following.
In September 2012, Devil's Kiosk won the people's choice award at the Blues Association of South East Queensland's Memphis Blues Challenge and have since gone on to fulfil a busy playing schedule under their new guise.
With recent appearances at The Sydney Blues and Roots Festival, Brisbane's Grottofest and Anges Blues and Roots, Devil's Kiosk has been showcasing all new material as well as featuring some of their award-winning songs.
With a heavy blues foundation and featuring songs with a darker edge, their sound encompasses all the drama and energy that is so evident in their live performance.
