Formed in late 2020, Jukejoint is a Nelson band playing electric blues and old-school R & B, with a touch of Americana.
Inspiration comes from such Blues legends as Jimmy Reed, Paul Butterfield, Bo Diddley, Junior Wells, Billy Boy Arnold, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, The Rolling Stones, Keb Mo and numerous others. Our Set List includes all-time favourites Way Down in the Hole, Route 66, Muskrat, Born in Chicago and Mystery Train.
Although relatively new to the Nelson music scene, we’ve performed regularly at popular venues The Boathouse, Golden Bear, The Riwaka Hotel and Club Waimea. Through the band’s association with the recently formed Tasman Bay Blues Club (founding members Marcus Roebuck of Boogie Train and Acoustakatz fame, and our very own Lead Guitarist Paul Nickless) the band frequently performs at The Barn Live! In Monaco where touring musicians and local bands play alongside up-and-coming musicians.
“We’re delighted to be gigging at the Fairfield Courtyard this November end, so put on your dancing shoes, come on down and enjoy some great Blues music,it’s a sure-fire way to cure those SUMMERTIME BLUES!” Richard Luetchford
