Frank Sultana
Frank Sultana, an Australian contemporary blues virtuoso now residing in Kiama, is a musical force with a timeless allure. His music, steeped in pre-World War II mojo, boasts dark, dirty guitar tones complemented by a gritty, soulful voice that narrates the tales of characters and places. Since his 2011 debut album 'Blues from the Lost Motel,' Frank has authored a remarkable discography, accumulating 4 EPs and 9 albums, with 4 releases in the last 2.5 years.
In January 2023, Frank achieved a milestone by winning the solo/duo category at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee, becoming only the third Australian in the event's 38-year history to do so. His victory was accompanied by the recording of his latest album, 'The Ghosts of Sun,' at the iconic Sun Studios. At the Kiama Jazz & Blues Festival, Frank, with his stellar house band, promises an immersive musical experience, featuring top-tier musicians and a fusion of blues that transcends.
