Progessive Blues-Rock from the Mid North Coast

Experience the Raw Energy of Swampy Slide Guitar and Deep Jams

The Adam Ruthless Band is a powerhouse four-piece blues-rock outfit hailing from the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. Far from a standard covers act, this Port Macquarie-based collective has built a reputation for raw energy, musical spontaneity, and a deep-seated obsession with the perfect groove. The band’s signature sound is a "swampy" blend of blues and rock, frequently wandering into the realms of funk, soul, roots, and psychedelia. Whether they are performing a tight original set or embarking on a wild, improvised jam, their philosophy remains the same: no two gigs are ever identical.

The line-up features four distinct musical personalities who first bonded through local jam nights and a shared love for authentic, live performance. Adam "Ruthless" leads the charge with his meticulous tone chasing and searing slide guitar, while Jared "No Shoes" provides a grounded, barefoot groove on bass. Brendon "Stoner" adds layers of soulful warmth on the keys, and Adz "Stick" anchors the group with a commanding beat from the drum kit. Much of their creative magic is captured at "The Muso’s Hideout," their private studio and spiritual home. From intimate local pubs to sprawling festival stages, The Adam Ruthless Band consistently delivers a high-octane experience designed to connect deeply with the audience and celebrate the unpredictable spirit of live music.
