Bio:

Melbourne based Catch 23's debut album ‘Blues Hotel’ has been warmly received around the globe, achieving chart success in Australia and the U.S. Formed in 2018, Catch 23 have cultivated their signature sound by creating a modern take on blues rock, influenced by a wide variety of blues, rock and boogie. Catch 23 put on a dynamite show, ranging from sultry blues ballads to raunchy rockers! With his signature hat, Brendan Alexander (vocals, guitar, harp) anchors Catch 23’s live shows with charisma and humour, connecting the band’s music with their audience. As versatile musicians across several genres, and newfound writing partners, Ron E. Smith (vocals, bass) and Andrew Baker (lead guitar) began collaborating in 2019 and discovered an easy working chemistry, co-writing the band’s debut album. Andy Miller (drums) keeps everyone grounded with that steady beat. Smith and Baker wrote and arranged 12 original groove-heavy tracks melding a pool of influences into a cohesive album that captures the live power of the band.
