Brothers Mic and Jim Conway have been performing music together since their school days, when they started the Jellybean Jug Band, which later became the popular Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band. In the early 1970s, Captain Matchbox became a sensation, entertaining audiences with energetic renditions of Fats Waller standards like "My Canary Has Circles Under His Eyes," as well as unique original songs such as "Wangaratta Wahine" and "Fernando’s Hideaway." Mic's love for vaudeville and inventive instrument-making has shaped his work across many bands over the past 40 years, combining performance, circus elements, and humor. Jim, a dedicated blues musician, found his niche with Captain Matchbox as a harmonica player, establishing himself as a leading blues harpist in Australia.
