Just Talkin' Blues - LamBros:The Duo Bringing REAL Music Back

Saison 2 · Épisode 4

dimanche 26 avril 2026 • Durée 27:53

Sydney brothers Conor and Harry Lambrou blend Blues, R&B, Rock and their Greek‑Cypriot roots into a sound entirely their own. Classically trained but instinctive performers, they write, record, mix and master everything from their Northern Beaches home studio.

Their new single “You Won’t Call” is a raw, personal track about being let down — and the first taste of their EP arriving September.

Known for a huge “five‑piece” sound despite being a duo, their live shows feature looping, multi‑instrumentalism, improvisation and the energy they honed through years of busking. They’ve performed at Bluesfest Byron Bay, Indigo Blues, and supported Tones and I, Mental as Anything, and Lachy Doley.

The Lambrou brothers creating authenticity in a digital world — real instruments, real emotion, real performance.

Just Talkin’ Blues – The Sheyana Band: All the Best, From Tassie to Colombo

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

jeudi 26 février 2026 • Durée 34:23

In this episode of Just Talkin’ Blues, we sit down with Sheyana and members of The Sheyana Band to trace a 12‑plus‑year journey from Tasmania’s blues roots to chart success in Sri Lanka and beyond. They unpack the new compilation album All the Best—a hand‑picked blend of award‑winning tracks from Big Love and Ricochet plus three new songs, including festival anthem “Fourth Valley Blues” and the deeply personal “Ricochet,” dedicated to lost friends.

We talk about the band’s evolving lineup and sound—where blues underpins everything from soul to punk and grunge—and how “simpler” music with space can be the hardest to play. Along the way, Sheyana shares stories of supporting Australian icons like Renee Geyer, Ross Wilson, and The Black Sorrows, the surreal experience of Sri Lankan tours in monsoon rain and tuk‑tuks, and the intensely human songwriting process that turns late‑night voice memos, trauma, and real life into songs that travel the world.

Just Talkin’ Blues – Pepper Creek Revival: “It’s All Been Said,” But Not Like This

Saison 2 · Épisode 1

jeudi 26 février 2026 • Durée 42:14

In this episode of Just Talkin’ Blues, we sit down with Victoria Music Hall of Fame inductee Barry Hills and powerhouse vocalist-songwriter Kelly Auty from Pepper Creek Revival to dive deep into their new album, It’s All Been Said. They unpack the band’s “thick salad” of influences—Americana, blues, country, folk, and rock—and how a burst of songwriting turned an unplanned project into a fully formed record where every track stands as a single, from the title track to “Back Glance” and the mandolin-laced “Remember.”

Barry and Kelly reflect on decades in the Melbourne blues scene, the magic of capturing a truly “live” band in the studio, and why they proudly stamp their work as made by human hands—no AI, just blood, sweat, and tears. Along the way, they share candid thoughts on the decline of live music culture, the fragmentation of albums in the streaming era, and what it means to keep making honest, human-centric art in a changing industry.
