Jessie Gordon, with Lucky Oceans, Bill Lawrie and Mark Turner present the a once-off candlelight concert at the luxuriously beautiful Moana Hall.

Jessie’s passion is old world roots music of the 21st Century. Her original work is a combination of soulful blues, harmonic gospel and joyful swinging country. Mark is Jessie’s long time musical collaborator, partner in multiple crimes and best friend. He loves jazz and blues, and also brings a folk and pop sensitivity to his song writing.

Barrelhouse weaves together the separate threads of Lucky Oceans’s western swing, Bill Lawrie’s folk and country blues and Jessie Gordon’s swing and gospel stylings, and from it all they create a tapestry that ranges from old-world blues to new-world folk, swinging gently through bluegrass and soul along the way.

The audience will be seated in the round with 360 views of the performance. Make yourself feel at home in an atmosphere that prioritises your unfettered connection to the music and the musicians.

Please note that there is a bar available and some snacks, but no food at Moana Hall. Doors are at 6.30, the show will be two short sets 7-7.45pm and 8.15-9pm. Because we do everything ourselves, we would love you to arrive between 6.30-6.55 so we have time to set everything up and then greet you at the door before we play! City street parking is free after 6pm if you want to come in early for dinner, otherwise we recommend heading to Alfred's just down the street for late night pizza!
