The Artists

The blues is supposed to make you feel better, and a Chubby Rae & the Elevators show is all about feelin’ good. You’ll see sweating dancers in friendly agument with Chubby Rae & the Elevators about who’s having the most fun - them or the band?
Chubby Rae & the Elevators have been making converts to their vibed-up, good-time rhythm’n’blues since July 2000. Since then, Marisa Quigley (aka Chubby Rae), the 6’2” redheaded soulful powerhouse has been singing the blues like there’s no tomorrow.

The Elevators are dedicated blues men. Torquay’s Jim Dyson is the ‘Boss of the Boogaloo’ on guitar; Karl Inderburg and Craig Chiller hold it all together on drums and bassp; and the new guy, Kim Kellard, tears it up on keys and sax.

The Elevators dig deep to lay down grooves that a corpse could move to. That’s what the blues is for! Their second album, She Gets Unruly won Album of the Year at the 2007 Australian Blues Music Awards and Marisa also took out the Female Vocalist of the Year award.
