About Us
Sydney based, Greg Nunan & The General Jacksons have been reinvigorating mojos since 2015. Their fusion of electric blues, funk and rock is tight and unified sound, delivering passion and conviction at every show. The band, Liam Chandler on drums, Mark Holbert on bass and Felix Akurangi on guitar, bring to life Greg’s superb song writing. A handful of tracks off their album, Kites for Hurricanes were finalist in the Australian Independent Music Awards. The album is laced with chunky, blues guitar riffs that are paired with unique grooves, all with enough space and soul between notes to capture the heart of anyone who listens.
