Jimi Hocking — known to many as “Jimi the Human” — is one of Australia’s most electrifying and respected blues guitarists. A veteran of the national music scene, Jimi has built a remarkable career defined by blistering guitar work, soulful vocals, and a stage presence that radiates joy and intensity in equal measure. His legacy spans decades of acclaimed solo releases, relentless touring, and unforgettable performances that have cemented him as a pillar of Australian blues.

Beyond his celebrated solo career, Jimi is also widely recognised for his role with iconic Australian rock band The Screaming Jets, bringing his trademark firepower to major stages across the country. His blues catalogue, meanwhile, showcases a deep love for the genre — raw, expressive, and always delivered with heart. Jimi’s collaboration with Blues Roulette captures everything fans love about him: spontaneity, virtuosity, and fearless improvisation.

Blues Roulette — the Melbourne‑born concept created by bassist Ben Wicks — is built on unrehearsed, high‑energy blues jams featuring Australia’s top blues artists. Together, Jimi and the Roulette rhythm section have produced standout performances, including a feature EP recorded live in Marysville and fan‑favourite tracks like The Golden Rule, celebrated for their explosive chemistry and live‑off‑the‑floor authenticity. When Jimi Hocking steps onstage with Blues Roulette, the result is a show that feels dangerous, joyful, and completely alive. Expect searing guitar solos, soulful vocals, and the kind of musical magic that can only happen when master musicians trust the moment.

A perfect festival act — high‑energy, spontaneous, and unforgettable.
