The Shufflemen

The Shufflemen is a three piece blues (and other hues) band based in the Coffs Coast
area with a wealth of experience in most genres of music. The band is fronted by lead singer
and guitarist Tom Goodwin (Loose Cannons, Esmeralda), Gus Schroder (Tork, Blackshaws
Beat, 4 th Avenue Band) bass and vocals with Phil Simon (Cutbacks, Kryptic, Tin Sandwich,
Sideshow Men) drums and vocals. An article in the Bellingen Courier-Sun described The
Shufflemen as: “seriously good blues played with the passion it deserves”. With a mix of
originals and covers the fun, laidback style of the band interacts well with venue patrons.

Tom Goodwin (lead guitar and vocals)
Tom has been playing guitar and writing songs since the age of 14. Initially performing in bands
located in the Nambucca Valley then moved to Sydney in the early 80’s where he continued his
music passion in various bands. He then re-located back to the Mid North Coast area in the 90’s and
has continued to develop his own interpretive guitar style.

Gus Schroder (bass and vocals)

Gus has recently re-located to the Coffs Coast region from Melbourne where he was
heavily involved in the local music scene. He has played bass in several bands over the
past years covering mainly blues and pub rock.
