About Us

Every now and then a band comes along that has a certain fire; a certain energy and sound that simply grabs you and demands your attention. Cold Snap is such a band, squeezing the most out of every note creating one of the most Electrifying Chicago Blues bands going around. Cold Snap rip into their tunes with a passion, and collectively form one of the hottest live blues acts in Victoria, if not Australia who truly must be seen live to be fully appreciated.

Since its formation Cold Snap wasted no time in stamping its authority on the Melbourne blues scene as one of the premier Chicago Blues bands in town. Its members consist of seasoned musicians who have been in the music scene for over 30 years. They have played with the likes of Chris Wilson, Lobby Loyde, and many other renowned bands/artists. Talented musicianship combined with amazing and charismatic vocals up front certainly set Cold Snap apart from many others in their genre.

Their specialty is House Rockin' Chicago Blues, but they certainly don't limit themselves to that style alone.  Their aim is to simply get people up out of their seats moving to their music, whether it's a shuffle or their soulful slow blues, you can't help but move to it.

Their residency at one of Melbourne's premier blues venues Nighthawk Blues always has the punters, out of their seats, on their feet, and the whole joint jumpin'. They hit the ground running with their first track and don't let up for a minute the entire night. Punter's are literally mesmerised and simply have to stay for fear of missing a single moment. One lady said "Once I heard them play their first song, I told my husband we have to stick around to see how these guys end their show tonight". Cold Snap didn't disappoint and had the whole place on their feet, dancing, jumping and hollering until their final note was played. To put it mildly, it's always a great night down at Nighthawk Blues when Cold Snap is in town.

It seems that each venue they play at these days they convert new fans. One lady said "You guys shouldn't be called Cold Snap because you guys are Smokin' Hot!" Yes it does sound a little cliche, but these are the feelings that are conjured up after each show.  Cold Snap continues to make a serious name for themselves within blues circles.  They have played gigs all over Melbourne, outdoor festivals, and recently been invited to support some Melbourne dates for Chicago-based Michael Charles' 2009 National Recall Tour.

 I guess there's only one way to find out what it's all about...get down to one of their gigs to witness one of Australia's, hottest live blues acts who must be seen live to be truly appreciated.
