Armed with a 3-string cigar box guitar, bottleneck slide, Strat knockoff and shed-built foot drums, Jungle Jim Smith is a one-man-electric-boogie-band based in the rolling hills of South Gippsland’s Prom Country.

Delivering high-energy performances since 2021, Jungle Jim’s blend of up-tempo garage grooves and stompin’ blues sits somewhere between RL Burnside, early ZZ Top and The Black Keys. Vocals conjuring up shades of Elvis and Morrison croon over primal percussive riffs and rhythms, creating a full band sound described as a ‘swampy mix of rockabilly grit and hill country blues’. Delivered with a grin, his songs are charged with infectious hooks and a riffage finesse, charming music fans of all ages and musical tastes.

The debut 7-track EP ‘Electric Boogieland’ has just been released to an enthusiastic response. Jungle Jim has barely paused though, already laying down demos for a follow up album planned for release later this year.
