Those that love the music of the 60s and 70s won’t want to miss American contemporary jazz-rock band Blood, Sweat and Tears when they head to Rooty Hill RSL this weekend.

Forming in New York City in 1967, the band are most well known for songs such as ‘Spinning Wheel’, ‘And When I Die’, ‘You’ve Made Me So Very Happy’ and ‘Lucretia Mac Evil’.

They have also covered some of the music world’s biggest hits from artists including Billie Holiday, The Rolling Stones and James Taylor. At the height of their fame, Blood, Sweat and Tears had the honour of beating The Beatles’ ‘Abbey Road’ for Grammy Album of the Year.

Over the years band members have come and gone, as tends to happen when you’re around for almost half a century, but Blood, Sweat and Tears’ genre defying mix of jazz, funk, soul, blues and rock ‘n’ roll still makes for a thrilling live music experience.

Don’t miss this legendary band live!

Blood, Sweat and Tears will be performing at Rooty Hill RSL on Sunday, September 13 at 8pm. Tickets are $79. For more information or to purchase tickets visit www.rootyhillrsl.com.au.
