Fresh talent the Henry and Ranahl band are making a second trip to the Pilbara this year.

Brothers Henry Skeen and Ranahl Jimbidie are now joined by their brother Andre Skeen. 

“Our manager Daron Keough lives down here, so he told us we can get this thing going if we move down this way and follow our musical dreams,” Henry said. “It’s good we met up with Daron and he’s now managing us.”

Originally from Fitzroy Crossing, Henry said they relocated to Geraldton on Daron Keough’s invitation so he could manage them and play in the country rock band where needed.

Keough is the band’s bass player, as he was in Fitzroy Express.

Now that Andre has joined the band they are not sure what to call it.

Henry and Ranahl will be playing at Karratha’s Onyx Bar tonight and for the following three nights at the Last Chance Tavern in South Hedland.
