Mark Curtis & Jack Moore

24 FEBRUARY 2019
Tickets $22.00* (inc Gst) Doors open 1:00pm - Music from 2:00pm A stunning collection of contemporary Australian poetry transformed into evocative, modern folk songs that detour through alt-country and darker pop ballads to hammer on your heart. From her diverse artistic background in dance, theatre and electronica music in Europe and the UK, to the folk-tinged music of Cat Dog Bird, Jen’s love of word-smithery and music coalesce on her 2017 album The Night’s Insomnia. This beautiful album of Australian poetry crafted into songs has taken Jen and her stellar band to festivals and venues in South Australia, Victoria, NSW and Tasmania drawing audiences in close with melody-driven songs, shot through with pure, spacious vocals, acoustic and percussive guitars, drifting accordion and soaring harmonies that reflects each of the poetic narratives. Poem-songs that speak of bushfires, abandonment, sleepless nights, sympathy with the bedeviled natural world, a jaunty villanelle, a cri de Coeur, a quiet sigh. Currently working on her new album, Jen returns to the deeply personal, taking the magnifying glass to the small idiosyncrasies of her life in the suburbs, mining for simple joys and everyday frailties in acoustic songs which teeter on the edges of folk, alt-country and something entirely it’s own. You can hear Jen here... Mark Curtis & Jack Moore Mark Curtis and Jack Moore are part of Adelaide local favourites "Mark Curtis and the Flannelettes" who blend carefully crafted pop/folk ditties with alt country instrumental ho-downs. "Drawing influence from bands like Blind Mellon and The Beatles Mark has a gift for channeling the inner world in a way that is identifiable to any listener. Mixing the Beautiful with the ugly, he communicates the fragility of being human while keeping a certain playfulness. Drenched in harmonies, vulnerability, cynicism, longing and humour. Mark Curtis & the Flanelettes are a fresh take on an old story. * Limited tickets available - Cabaret style Seating pre-purchase recommended... If booking through Cheesetix please email or call us, at least a few days before the gig, if you are with a group so we can seat you with your friends... The Gallery Bar & Cafe will be open serving cheese platters, curry, soup, sweets, local wines, beer, cider, tea and coffee. |
