Tracey Aberlé

Introduced to music and classical piano at a young age, Tracey found her true calling in singing and performing when she hit the live band scene in Adelaide fronting a popular cover band.

Performing in intimate dinner settings, pubs/hotels, outdoor festivals, weddings and expos, Tracey's abundant experience, versatility and passion is undeniable as soon as she steps on stage. Inspired by the old soul greats, Tracey is best known for her sass and big voice.

With an abundant natural talent and unbridled passion for singing and entertaining, Tracey brings an infectious energy to every event.

Tracey’s musical collaboration with 'The Blue Label' has been a truly synergetic occurrence.

Marcus Vogt

Inspired by the music of Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath in his pre-teen years, Marcus saved his paper round money to buy his first drum kit at age 12.

Since then, Marcus has played with a range of bands and artists throughout Adelaide & Melbourne. Studio and live, original music and covers, his drumming experience spans over 25 years.

While firmly rooted in rock and heavier styles of music, his versatile playing technique allows him to sit comfortably in a wide range of genres including funk, soul, blues, country and dance music.

Marcus served his covers apprenticeship on the kit in Adelaide with Wasabi before relocating to Melbourne and starting the very successful party band POW! Several years later, and Marcus has found himself back in Adelaide and playing drums with his accomplished musician mates in The Blue Label.

Marcus brings a focussed intensity to The Blue Label shows. His focus is to deliver an irresistible groove from the rythmn section he leads. He says, "The punters may want to go home with the lead singer or lead guitarist, but they only wanna do that cos the rythmn section is bangin and the punters are groovin"!

Matt Duncan

He is intuitively melodic & instinctively syncopated! Although his training is extensive, his style is best described as ‘playing by feel’…

Born in the UK and moving to Australia at a young age, Matt started playing bass at 15 after mastering musical fundamentals on the drums. He quickly fell in love with the bass and immediately started listening and playing to soul classics. After high school, Matt went on to study music full time and perform in many well-known Adelaide bands.

After a hiatus from musical endeavours, he is back laying down solid grooves in his latest venture, ‘The Blue Label’.

Tom Sterle

From performing as a teenager throughout Western Australia to composing & arranging symphonic ensemble pieces to directing & producing studio records, Tom is a well-seasoned, versatile, contemporary musician.

After studying contemporary music at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), Tom led the hard working Perth cover bands, Centrefold, The Select Few, Phony Fred and Firefly, to resident performances at various modern venues around Perth as well as regional tours throughout WA from Bunbury to Wyndham.

Tom has established himself as a ‘go to’ band leader, composer, arranger, studio musician and accompanying musician having played in various contexts with various artists including Jimmy Barnes, The Screaming Jets, The Urban Cowboy, Shannon Noll, Hilltop Hoods, Pacifier and many more.

Tom plays fender guitars with a Bad Cat, Black Cat and Fender Twin Reverb in tandem.
