Formed in Melbourne Australia, Collard Greens and Gravy have been regaling fans with their unique style of stripped down swamp blues since 1995.

Performing a mix of original material and covers by Mississippi blues artists such as R.L Burnside, T Model Ford and Fred McDowell, the band have created a sound which saw them win the 2001 ARIA award for best blues and roots CD.

In February 2001 Collard Greens and Gravy, competing against more than 50 bands from around the world were awarded runners up in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee. To qualify for entry the band representing Australia won the local Blues Performer of the year competition held by the Melbourne Blues Society.

Since then the band have returned twice to tour the US, playing festivals and bars from New Orleans to New York. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
