Phil Coyne and The Wayward Aces

Phil Coyne & The Wayward Aces are back at The Rainbow, bringing their hard-driving blend of Chicago blues, rockabilly and garage-surf grit to a Sunday arvo.

The band have been busy, with a new four-piece lineup, a huge run at the Echuca Winter Blues Festival and new music from their latest project, White Knuckle Time.

Fronted by Phil Coyne and his wailing harmonica, The Wayward Aces aren’t interested in playing the blues politely. Their live show is energetic, raw and built to move a room — blues at the core, but with plenty of rock ’n’ roll attitude and a little surf-soaked swagger thrown into the mix.

Previous releases have charted both here and overseas, with the band also earning a VicTas Blues Awards Band of the Year finalist nod along the way.

As Blues Matters put it:

“If you have a penchant for harmonica players who make the damn thing wail, Coyne and his mates are worth a listen.” — David Osler, Blues Matters

Come down, grab a beer and see what all the noise is about.
