Swan River Ramblers

Drawing repertoire from jazz & swing standards, trad. jazz, bebop, blues, New Orleans style music and more, The Swan River Ramblers combine a wealth of performance experience, with instrumental virtuosity and a keen sense of spontaneity.

Formed by bass player Pete Jeavons in 2017 the band initially performed only as a roving, acoustic quartet aboard the Paddle steamer Decoy as it cruised the Swan River during WA’s warmer months. With many sold out shows aboard the PS Decoy now under their belt The Ramblers have started to make a few appearances on land too, adding a drummer to their ranks and performing at venues such as Lyric’s Underground, The Ellington Jazz Club and the Navy Club (Jazz Fremantle).

After a successful debut performance at The Duke of George in November last year, the Swan River Ramblers will return on Saturday April 30th - UNESCO’s 2022 International Jazz Day - featuring Adam Hall (trumpet/vocals), Adrian Galante (clarinet/piano), Ray Walker (guitar/vocals), Ben Vanderwal (drums) and of course Pete Jeavons (double bass). Join the Swan River Ramblers for a great night of jazz that is guaranteed to please.
