“Guitar licks, picked over tremulous Hammond organ chords and shuffling blues beats are the core of this retro blues collection, which manages to emit authenticity despite the obvious legacy of its influences.”

Morning Herald Think B.B. King sharing a scotch with Booker T at the Crossroads after midnight. With more awards than you can poke a mojo hand at, what started out as a hair brained idea between two friends medicating their way through jazz school over a bottle of red has taken them on an adventure that spans the globe. Multiple gongs in fact suggest Lazy Eye delivers some of the best original blues Australia has to offer. Delighting audiences throughout their homeland and from the U.S. to Japan, Evan Whetter’s vocals are gritty with a velvety smack of soul, wielding his weather beaten Hammond with style as he leads an all killer no filler line up featuring rising star of the guitar Erica Graf and the supremely talented Mario Marino on drums. Lazy Eye’s latest offering Black Hill perfectly captures the band in their native environment, live in concert and catapulted the band again to “Group Of The Year at the 2019 Australian Blues Music Awards as well as earning a finalist nomination for “Song Of The Year”. "That these funky greens are being produced by the Australian band Lazy Eye somewhere in the southern Australian climes is just the international gravy made by the music” - All About Jazz (USA)
