Join Perth’s smoothest band under the stars at Fremantle's Port Beach Brewery for a night of soft rock romance, golden-era grooves, and more heart-melting harmonies than a Christopher Cross chorus.

Fringe - Set List Roulette with Jessie Gordon and Mark Turner
Join Mark and Jessie for a new, unplanned and entirely improvised show each night! They’ll be asking the audience for requests and playing set list roulette with a brand new set list so YOU get to write the show!
The set list comprises 100 songs from their vast repertoire collected over a lifetime of playing music together. Take a decade of big band swing, years of touring with blues musicians in Europe, a love affair with folk, many pub classics at weddings, a more than passing interest in risqué cabaret (that’s a good name for a show), and you have a fairly eclectic song list. Be careful what you ask for!

Moana Spring Concert Series Oct 28th
Climb up the stairs to a gorgeous candlelit room filled with beautiful music.
Jessie Gordon and Mark Turner present the Moana Spring Sessions at the luxuriously beautiful Moana Hall. This series features Jessie and Mark every Tuesday night in October.
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.
The duo are a joy to watch on stage, their shared history and their love for each other is palpable. They have also started writing music together and these nights at Moana will feature new songs each week from their joint songwriting as well as jazz standards, blues classics and probably Jolene every night…
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!
