Blake Dantier & The Smokin’ Guns: Slack-Off Sundays | Aunty Ed’s Katoomba

into the classic outlaw and honky-tonk sounds of the 70s and 80s – creating something equally at home beside greats like Waylon Jennings or Dwight Yoakam, as well as today’s Alt-Country rockers.

After taking out the title of ‘Maton Rising Star’ at last years County Music Stampede and snagging a Tamworth Songwriters award at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, his new single ‘Mary Jane’ (produced by Shane Nicholson) is set for release late March.

Not short of classic country twang, his show – with a 5-piece band – offers tales of drugs, death, drinkin’, cheatin’, heartache and everything in between.

Slack-Off Sundays:
The ever-dreaded Monday may be looming and you can’t sleep in tomorrow morning but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a sneaky night out right? The vibe is casual, there’s cold beer on tap (and the biggest range of beer in the Mountains in the fridge), and the kitchen will be pumpin’. Head along to Aunty Ed’s every Sunday between 6:00 & 8:00 pm for Slack-Off Sundays and squeeze every last drop out of the weekend.

What’s the go:
