Two of NSW's finest musical wordsmiths join forces on Friday Feb 20 for a FREE ENTRY double header show at Mixtape Brewing & Bar, Marrickville that's not be missed. Both Mark and Jo will be playing with their full band line ups.

MARK MOLDRE BAND
Mark Moldre's band is made up of an unlikely bunch of misfits and marauders who’ve travelled together from Canberra to France.
Gin and green tea drinkers. A group of musical pillager’s who sound like the un-oiled wheels on a lurching gypsy caravan. If you listen very closely you’ll experience tender romance and dark corners, death and redemption, human struggle versus biblical consequences, dreams/nightmares and bad weather. They can be as gritty as a 1920’s speakeasy or as smooth as Sinatra at The Sands.

"If Tom Waits, Elvis Costello and Jeff Tweedy were pushed out to sea in a rickety old boat they’d come up with something like this" Timber & Steel

JO MEARES BAND
Jo is a Sydney based singer/songwriter who has produced multiple albums over 25 years of playing. The Jo Meares Band combine Jo's songwriting, his Cohen-esque weathered tone, halfway between a whisper and a growl, amongst textured sonic terrains with soundtrack-like emotionality. The band has an extraordinary level of musicianship. Expect lush backing vocals, sublime violin and saw, lovely electronic sounds and piano, gorgeous guitar and percussion and brilliant songs.

"Jo Meares has a dark whisper of a voice. He is like an introverted, quiet Paul Kelly." Simon Sweetman, Radio NZ
