A Liam Blunts OG & the master organiser & music arranger of Liam Blunts, Michael began classical piano lessons at the age of 10 & continued for ten years with the same piano teacher, obtaining his A.Mus.A along the way. In High School he brought his first guitar & began classical guitar lessons for four years. 

Since his high school days, Michael has always played in numerous cover bands or duos. Michael has often taken on the instrument needed - bass, guitar, or keyboards. His music arranging skills have been utilised with him programming backing tracks for Hittrax of Melbourne for about 30 years & more recently in the local bands Liam Blunts Funky Rhythm Train & Sweet Buzz, both which have a four-piece horn section (complicated HUGE effort!). 

Along with Pete, Tim, Ben, Maren & Glenn, Michael is a part of the Project 365 musical family & the band You Can Cry.

Michael along with Ben, Ian, Maren, Brigid & Glenn are also members of the jazz band Sweet Buzz & he plays in the duo Timbres.
A busy man, we have no idea that there were so many hours in a day!

Michael has seen many concerts & gigs in his time, but these days has swapped the mosh pit for a chair & wine at Day on The Green & other more subdued events! 

In the early 80’s Michael saw KISS live. He was even a member of the KISS army! 

Michael enjoys the movies & to the disbelief of some, hasn't seen the complete Star Wars or Star Trek movies! 

Michaels ambition of playing bass for the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac or Hall & Oates never came to realisation, but he loves playing & performing with Liam Blunts Funky Rhythm Train!

A Liam Blunts OG, Ian began playing guitar at the age 9 & has been playing professionally for 50 years. 

Growing up in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, Ian played in a number of local rock bands during his teenage years.  Listening to the likes of Jeff Beck, John McLaughlin, Robert Fripp & Emily Remler, Ian continued to hone his jazz, rock & fusion sounds.

Ian has worked extensively as a session musician playing all styles of music. Since completing a Diploma in Music (Jazz & Popular), Ian has taken up various teaching positions, while continuing to focus on his professional performing career. Ian has been a regular performer in the Wangaratta Festival of Jazz for many years, & has performed with well known artists such as Bob Sedergreen, Don Burrows, Adam Simmons & support for James Morrison.

He was a key member of Subito in 2004 - 2006, Jazzaratta 1998- 2017 & High Society Jazz Orchestra 2016-2017, Sweet Buzz in 2017, & The Daisies in 2022.

Ian is the member in the band that keeps us smiling - always a joke (sometimes dirty) & laugh to be had!

With Michael Braendler & others, Ian formed the long running Liam Blunts Funky Rhythm Train & Liam Blunts Jazz Quintet in 2000; two very popular Jazz, Classic Rock & Pop Bands.

And so as they say the rest is history!.

Tim is always guaranteed to keep the 'funk' going with Liam Blunts Funky Rhythm Train!

With a long history playing in a variety of bands, from original rock & roots acts - through to big band jazz & swing music, Tim can strip it back & play it cool, or switch on the hard rock vibes as the gig shifts gears guaranteed to get you on the dance floor . 

Tim studied Music alongside Ian and Pete many moons ago, under the guidance of Michael starting the LBFRT family roots.

Sometimes you may think your eyes are deceiving you when you see him in other bands - Tim may have a saxophone in his hands!

Not only an awesome drummer, he backs Meagan up with his vocal harmonies & belts out a couple of tunes on lead vocals himself.

Tim enjoys long walks on the beach (unlike Pete, who doesn’t like sand - somewhat like Anakin Skywalker, but without the agro…), & smashing down a coffee all too frequently.

In his spare time, Tim also dabbles in the world of music production, doing recording work for artists & producing demos, singles, EP’s & albums - preferring to do this over mowing the lawns any day!
