A Man and His Guitar

Jimi Hocking is the lovechild of T-Bone Walker, B.B. King and Jimi Hendrix, a man who works the stage with guitar in hand. Or you may see him playing it behind his back. Or you may see him doing the duck walk. You may even see him doing the splits. As long as he has a guitar, he’s good to go. Like many, piano lessons featured in his childhood but after his old man discovered he preferred Chuck Berry, he scored an acoustic guitar as a Christmas present. He has been performing since the mid-’80s, with pubs his stomping ground. You can throw tours with the likes of Joe Satriani, Edgar Winter and George Thorogood in there also. Ararat Hotel, Ararat – September 23. (Ararat Live showcase.)
