CB Ghost, a songwriter with an honest simple folk-rock style that captures the essence of a complicated existence with singalong tunes and poetic lyrics and banging beats. Described as “Oasis meets Jack Johnson with Chris Cornell feels”, by Scenestr magazine, CB Ghost is an original beast (or Ghost).
Coming from a close-nit coastal surfing village in Australia. His background provides him with a deep connection to toe tapping Celtic, country and straight-ahead heartfelt rock music mixed with salt water from the ocean. A former pro surfer and Australian and State Champion, CB Ghost is driven, bold and dedicated to his evolving sound and most importantly playing live to crowds who love to drink, dance, sing and have fun.
This singer songwriter (and his band of merry Ghosts) are making headway with his first four singles Hollywood Hills, Hold Down Hymn, Beautiful Middle Finger and newly released High on Elm & Vine.
The organically grown band includes “the best rock violinist in the county” in Archie P, all the way from Bonnie Scotland. On drums (and backing vocals) is the seasoned and formidable Glenn ‘Ginger’ Baker, on bass (rock lord) Dean ‘Dnoski’ Sinclair and on keys Sydney’s young tour de-force, Gem.
Collectively they are a combination like no other - “Ghosts don’t want to live forever”, an apt lyric from their single “Beautiful Middle Finger” that describes their high energy “leave nothing on the table” crowd inclusive shows.
Their live performances have manifested into an entertaining, rollicking, sentimental and danceable-as-all hell must see shows.
