"For a blues musician outside the US. It's very hard to get into that scene in the first place," he said.
"The next album will really blow the roof off things."
Brunt has spent much of his career behind the scenes, being based in Sydney for the past 30 years. A producer and former studio owner of Darling Harbour Studios, he's worked alongside some bid-name acts including Rob Hirst, Midnight Oil, Steve Prestwich, Cold Chisel and Julio Iglesias and his Orchestra. But now he's very much enjoying being front and centre. Joining Brunt on his New Zealand shows are two New Zealand seasoned veterans, Noel Lamberton (Midge Marsden) on drums and Rob Patterson (Larry Morris) on bass.
- Isaiah B Brunt is supported by The Blueveins. Doors open 7.30pm, show at 8. $15 entry.
