glasshouse mountains musos club

A great night was had by the 30 or so people who attended the inaugural Glasshouse Mountains Musos Club at the Sport Club last Thursday. Amongst the performers were Duo Classique, who included a magical performance of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, the rich harmonies of Champagne, Leanne Zadkovitch, who shared five originals with us - which we’ll look forward to hearing again, Paul Fagan, who showed what a versatile singer / guitarist he is, a number of more than competent backing musicians who willingly got up to support us (thank you Neil for your harmonies and bass), and yours truly who presented some foot tappin’ “swamp rock”.
There is little opportunity in the region for musicians to publically perform in an “open mic” session, meet their peers and develop their skills in a friendly non competitive environment. So if you’d like to get up or just see what other musos are doing, you’re encouraged to come along to the next night on Thursday June 16, between 7 and about 10pm. And if people bring a couple of extra chord and lyric charts with them, they are sure to find a few willing backers.
We encourage all styles of music, but with an emphasis on folk, blues, world, jazz and all forms of improvisation, country, bluegrass and theatre music. Please join us in encouraging music making in our region. You can contact us on facebook:
