The finest in dancefloor hits from the 70s to the Noughties, super
soulful rhythms and futuristic heavyweight funk. Featuring Rick
Robertson, saxophonist from d.i.g, the very soulful vocals of
EvelynDuprai, the beats of Ian Mussington and the ever inventive
keyboard wizard Gerard Masters. Leading the band, and one of Australia’s
foremost exponents of Acid Jazz and Urban Groove, Saxophonist Rick
Robertson has a wealth of experience and success being one of the
founding members of D.I.G and Eon. He has played all over the world at
major festivals, from the St Kilda festival in Melbourne to the Montreux
Jazz festival in Switzerland, and funky clubs from New York to Berlin.
Ian Mussington Originally from London, where he worked with the likes of
Lonnie Liston Smith, Cameo, Stevie Winwood, Courtney Pine, Paul Weller
and Steve Williamson, drummer Ian Mussington spent five years in the
States touring and recording with Soul Asylum. He now resides in Sydney
and is laying down wicked beats with a truly international flavour.
Gerard Masters is one of the finest and most innovative young Keyboard
players in the Sydney scene. International tours with Missy Higgins and
regular gigs with Glass, Virna Sanzone, Lily Dior and his own trio make
him a very sort after artist. Evelyn Duprai is a true soul diva who has
emerged on the scene in style bringing her amazing Aretha Franklin meets
Grace Jones vocals to set the place on fire. She has toured with
Silverchair, Paul Mac and James Morrison. Alex Hewetson, commonly known
as G.O.B (god of bass), has toured and recorded with many great acts
including Savage Garden, James Morrison, Swoop and DIG. His grooves have
been heard all over the world and we are very lucky to have this man in
town. Eon Beats was formed to play the Sydney club scene and was
immediately in demand
with a residency at Bennelong at the Opera House, festivals all over
Australia including St Kilda Festival, Darling Harbour Jazz Festival,
Vibes on a Summers Day and the Playground Weekender. Sold out gigs at
the Basement in Sydney, featured spots at the Darling Harbour Jazz
Festival, and the release of “Blue Rhythm People” late 2008 have
propelled this band well into the new decade. Eon Beats now regularly
performs with 6 or 9 musicians onstage featuring Percussion, DJ, and
Horn section.
