The Wild Yabbies – Band Bio

The Wild Yabbies has been together as a band for about 2.5 years. The players come from diverse occupations and musical backgrounds but are united in a love of blues and classic rock. The Wild Yabbies band would suit an audience that grew up in the 50s, 60s and 70s who enjoy different styles of music, like to dance and have a fun evening!

 Rod Perry on vocals and harmonica, really belts it out with a strong versatile voice and good blues harp, to give the band a very solid vocal presence and blues/rock style.

Tommo Calvert’s bass guitar lays down rock solid, melodic bass lines.

Harry Bryce’s exciting drumming, forges a solid floor with percussive textures. In conjunction with the bass, Harry and Tommo create a very solid rhythmic base to work from.

Joe Karlovsky’s keyboard textures are fresh and ambient, weaving all the band’s musical components into tight, melodic and exciting songs.
