Salerno/Hosford/Bekker is a high energy instrumental trio from Melbourne Australia, comprised of Johnny Salerno on drums, Simon Hosford on guitar and Chris Bekker on bass.
It was formed as a fun side project, amidst all the touring that the boys were doing with various other artists, to provide a creative outlet and to get back to their roots, whenever they were off the road.
Based in blues and rock and funk, they also dip their toes into dub, hip/hop, R’N’B, and electronica, and after quite a hiatus are working on some new material in 2015.
Between Johnny, Simon and Chris they have toured and performed with far too many artists to list them all, but amongst them are Virgil Donati, Ian Moss, Vanessa Amorosi, Tommy Emmanuel, Jon Stevens, Men At Work, Australian Crawl, Suzi Quattro, Belinda Carlisle, and more.
