Frankie & Savva

Twelve string and slide guitar, smoky vocals with a bit of sass in them. This Adelaide duo won the ARBA Memphis Blues Challenge duo section in 2022 and went to Memphis in January 2023, playing Blues City Cafe and King Jerry's on Beale Street. Later that year they supported Bondi Cigars and Walter Trout. Two albums, Going Down To Memphis and Three Kings & Elvis, have been doing the community radio rounds. The set mixes originals in an old-school swing and boogie style with covers of Ruth Brown, Jimmy Reed, T-Bone Walker, Muddy Waters, Albert King and Nina Simone. Sets from two 45s up to three 45s plus a 30. They bring their own PA, mics, stands and stools, and are happy to run their own sound.
