It started as a couple of mates playing a gig for a friend’s 50th birthday party, but over the years Acid Bleed has expanded to become a funky five-piece jazz band.<\/p>\n

Andrew Horowitz, who plays tenor and soprano saxophones and electric violin, and retired Alstonville GP Jimmy Chiu, who plays a modern electric Spanish\/gypsy-style guitar, were the group’s first members back in 2009.<\/p>\n

They have since been joined by St Vincent’s Lismore cardiologist Adam Blenkhorn on lead electric guitar, retired audio-visual engineer Josh Kirk on upright bass and Dave Hirst, who runs a computer store in Ballina, on drums\/percussion and manacles.<\/p>\n

The band’s repertoire spans everything from gypsy swing to Latin and classic jazz standards as well as groovy originals.<\/p>\n

“I just really like playing this type of music,” Horowitz said.<\/p>\n

“It’s light-hearted, refreshing and fun.”<\/p>\n

While jazz music is often associated with New Orleans, Polish-born Horowitz said this type of jazz originated in Europe.<\/p>\n

Recently returned from the Bay of Islands Jazz and Blues Festival in New Zealand, Acid Bleed is now preparing for its next gig \u2013 a Northern Rivers for Refugees fundraiser with local singer Veronica Lovejoy at Tintenbar Hall on September 14.<\/p>\n

Horowitz and his wife have been involved with the organisation (previously Ballina Region for Refugees) for many years, even hosting refugees from the city for breaks at their rural property.<\/p>\n

“We have done lots of gigs at Tintenbar Hall and it’s really a nice place to play,” Horowitz said.<\/p>\n

“There are so many nice venues in this region \u2013 charming and historic old halls with timber floors.<\/p>\n

“Many of them are 100 years old, or close to it.”<\/p>\n

Tickets for the gig start from $20, BYO alcohol.<\/p>\n
