22.01.2022 {Love music of the 60s and 70s? We have Phil Smith from Beatles tribute band, Come Together, playing live online tonight! You may not be able to get out to see... your fave live music act at the moment but at Kew Junction, we're going to continue hosting online live music sessions until you can! Tonight at 7pm, we have the wonderful Phil Smith, one of Melbourne’s best loved musos. After 40 odd years playing everywhere in Australia, in all sorts of line ups like Wild Turkey, Where’s Ringo? and The Desperate Men, Phil can now be found playing solo or with his Beatles Tribute, Come Together-The Music of The Beatles. Playing a mix of blue-eyed soul classics, heavy on the 60’s & 70’s, and a few original tunes thrown in, Phil will entertain you with stories and songs to keep you listening and dancing all night long. So what are you waiting for?! Set your alarm for 7pm tonight, grab a drink or two, tune in to the Kew Junction Facebook Page and turn it up! We hope to see you :-)

18.01.2022 Jimi Hendrix: Our music is like that jar of candy over there. Everything’s all mixed up. Regardless of what the scene might beyou don’t put yourself in categor...ies or else you find yourself really unhappy because then you might want to do something else. The best way to accept some of the things we doif it’s all that importantis to take every song for what it has to offer itself instead of trying to put it all in one big thing. It gets tiring doing the same thing, coming out and saying, ‘Now we’ll play that song,’ and ‘Now we’ll play that one.’ People take us strange ways, but I don’t care how they take us. Man, we’ll be moving. ’Cause man, in this life you gotta do what you want, you gotta let your mind and fancy flow, flow, flow free. Photo by Ron Howard See more

10.01.2022 One time, back in the day, Nancy Sinatra was making an album in L.A. and she happened to be hanging in the break room with a young session player just shooting ...the breeze when he said he had written this really cool song for Elvis but he couldn't get it to him because all songs had to go through The Colonel, who automatically rejected everything he didn't own the publishing on. "Oh really." Said Nancy. "Let me hear your cool song.". So the young man played it for her. "That's great.", Nancy said. "Thanks. Too bad it's impossible to get it to Elvis.". "Is that so?", Nancy said, "Got a dime?". The young man gave her a dime and she promptly dialed a number on the break room pay phone - a number she knew by heart. Elvis at home. She told him about the song. "That's great.", Elvis said. "Send it to me here at the house, will ya? I've had a real hard time finding good songs.". So the young man, whose name was Mac Davis, sent his song called "In The Ghetto", directly to Elvis. It became the song that brought Elvis back onto the charts and launched the young session player onto his own successful career. Mac Davis died today following open heart surgery. He was 78.

06.01.2022 Ray Charles: I remember one night we did a thing with Duke Ellington. He was on an oxygen tank until they called him to come out onstage. But he went out there ...and you'd never have known there was anything wrong with the man. That's what music can do. If you're sad, you can go home and play some records and make yourself feel better. If you're in the hospital and you're sick, music can be soothing. I know I'm gonna get shot down for this, but I think music is the greatest art form ever, bar none. I know that people who are into movies or into sculpture or writing or whatever are gonna say, "Ray, you must done lost your brain." And they probably right. But I still think that music is the greatest art form ever See more
