If you like roots music, you'll find Gary delivers a perfect mixture of blues, classic R&B, and jazz standards for just about any occasion.

The Gary Preston Band specializes in blues, but throws in some lovely surprises and can cover a wide range of styles. The band plays regularly at two of Victoria's great live venues - Swans and Barts, and features Colin Campbell on guitar and trumpet, John Wright on bass, and Anita Bonkowski on drums. Alternate and additional band members include David Shade and Randy Waldie on guitar, Rick Erickson on bass and Wendell Clanton on sax.

Preston & Bonkowski are a swingin' little duo with Gary on piano, vocals and harmonica and Anita on upright bass and percussion.

The Kingmixers are a versatile dance band, covering a wide range of material from the swing era to the sixties.

From solo gigs to five piece bands, the music is always honest and soulful.
