Searing solos punctuated with raw blues riffs, with a distinctive Buddy Guy twang. Almin Fulurija (drums and backing vocals). Sort after groove master Al is always in demand around Perth supporting the likes of Shannon Smith and Mickey Jupp, his unique grooves captures the vibes of the Chicago blues era and his shuffles drives the pulse like no other.
