for The Open Mic.
This time our guest band is astonishing:
Macombee and the Absolute Truth
are something to behold. A 10 piece line up with such an array of songs and sounds it's virtually impossible to pin them down. Macombee describes her sound as Alternative, Cabaret, Showtime Punk. The songs are brought to life by a laugh out loud theatricality and amazing 2 and 3 part harmonies to a backdrop of killer grooves and eccentric hooks that make for an epic sound that audiences are going nuts for. This is a rare opportunity to hear some of her songs from her knockout show, in an intimate setting with piano and Goddesses to tempt, tease and tussle with your heart strings.
And a guest poet:
Jerry Beale
grew up shuffling between parts of England and Northern Ireland. He's been a Royal Marine Commando, a farmer, a bodyguard, representative rugby player, international judo competitor, cage fighter and advertising agency creative director. About the only thing that has stayed with him through all these experiences is the ability to capture moments, events and feelings in lyrical form. He's performed his poetry in the US, UK, Ireland and NZ , published a couple of anthologies, opened festivals and entertained in bars, cafes and workshops.
Now he calls New Zealand home, has 3 amazing children, one shaggy dog and a love of wild remote places.
