Ewan Mackenzie
Aficionado James Mackenzie brings his gypsy fire to Black Bear Lodge.
Overview
A man born to make music, Ewan Mackenzie comes to Brisbane’s Black Bear Lodge.
As a child, Ewan, like many others like him, was inspired by The Beatles and Johnny Cash, and doing so changed his life, leading him away from the bagpipes of his own heritage and towards his own separate musical future.
By nineteen Mackenzie was earning a living supporting bands like Daddy Cool and Santana around the country, but one afternoon his life changed again when he heard the manouche guitarist, Tchavob Schmitt in the movie Swing. Soon, he began to devote himself to mastering Schmitt’s craft and, in time, became one of Australia’s foremost players in the genre, blending together his customary delicate melodicism and inventiveness with good ol’ fashion gypsy fire.
