Have You Heard: Juzzie Smith

When did you start making music and why? When I was 13 years old I heard blues harmonica on a TV commercial and from that day I've been playing music. 

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Creative, fun, groovy, infectious.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Maybe Elvis Presley's The Number One Hits, as he has a sound that feels fun, simple and tender. That's the way I like to live. 

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? There has been many but I remember playing at Byron Blues Festival in a venue that was actually moving from all the dancing. It was like we were on a trampoline. 

Why should people come and see your band? I love what I do and share this feeling with my music. So fun and inspiring for all ages. 

When and where are your next gigs? 18 — 21 May, Blues On Broadbeach.
