🎶 Meet The Blues Room 🎶

The Blues Room is a 6-piece blues band formed out of the Taupō Blues Club, brought together by a shared love of good, honest blues that people can really sink into and enjoy.

Line-up:
🎤 Lyneen Ropiha – vocals
🎷 Hirra Morgan – saxophone
🎸 Lance Shepard – lead guitar & backing vocals
🎸 Jason Sherriff – rhythm guitar
🥁 Ethan Chabora – drums
🎸 Danny Belton – bass

We’re also lucky to have some incredible friends jump up with us from time to time, including Alison Flavell (backing vocals extraordinaire) and Shaun Waldram on harmonica.

Collectively, we bring our own blues storytelling flavour, backed by a heap of experience and seriously accomplished musicianship.

We’re absolutely stoked to be part of Blues, Brews & BBQs and can’t wait to share the stage and the vibe with you all 🎶🔥🍻

See you in the garden!
