With Ali Penney (keys, vocals), Dave Blanken (guitar), Alec Colson (bass), Mitch Preston (drums), it’s a dream team of musos that makes for an evening of sweet, but saucy sounds, informed by Penney’s husky vocal warmth and swag of sassy songs. They groove, grind and swing, with a bit of blues, a spattering of funk and a sprinkling of soul and boogie.
Ali Penney and The Money Makers formed in late 2009 and instantly won the NSW Blues Challenge and represented the Sydney Blues Society at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, USA 2010. Ali Penney and The Moneymakers won Band of the Year in the 2010 Australian Blues Music Awards and Ali won Female Artist of the Year in 2012.
