The Vernons is a blues rock band from Australia’s Gold Coast.
The Vernons formed in 2011 when James Nikiforides asked Jonny Nyst to join a band he had put together with Elliot Gooch and Andrew Lahey. Lahey left the band in 2012 and was replaced by Hugh Tait; while Gooch left in 2014 and the band has since been working with guest musicians in his place.
The band’s debut EP, Volume I, released in 2013, was produced by Yanto Browning (The Medics, Art of Sleeping, Mosman Alder) and its first single, Standing In Line, reached the top of the iTunes Blues chart.[1] Second single, White Wine, spawned a noteworthy video which quietly generated 200,000 views on YouTube.[2] Shake ‘n’ Roll from the EP was later featured in a T-Mobile advertising campaign in the United States.[3]

"With licks and riffs this tasty, it’s just a matter of time until everybody in Australia is talking about The Vernons." (Tone Deaf, August 2015)
Volume II, released in 2014, was produced by Musicians Hall of Famer, Louie Shelton, who has worked with a stunning array of artists (Michael Jackson, Seals and Crofts, The Wolverines among them). To The Sky from this EP won the Queensland Music Award for regional song.[4]
Produced by Konstantin Kersting (Moses Gunn Collective, Belligerents, Junkyard Diamonds), Snap My Fingers, the first single from a third EP, Snap, was released August 7, 2015[5] and a follow-up, Keep On Dreaming launched November 6, 2015, the same day the EP became available.
In addition to successful headline tours behind the band’s single and EP releases, The Vernons have supported other acts across the genres, sharing the stage with Wolfmother, Seasick Steve, The Rubens, Wolf & Cub, Hoodoo Gurus, Stonefield and Ash Grunwald. The band also played major Australian festival, Big Day Out.[6]
