Whether it's Bluesfest, Gympie Music Muster, Mundi Mundi Bash, or countless packed venues around the country, 19-Twenty have built a reputation for turning every performance into a full-blown celebration. Their infectious blend of blues, roots, rock and funk, world-class musicianship, and crowd interaction will have the entire room on its feet from the very first note.
