Event details
Two beloved Melbourne singer-songwriters present sets exploring longing, love, inspiration - full of shapes, colour and texture.
About Mezz Coleman
Alt-pop singer-songwriter Mezz Coleman creates songs of longing, love and grief. Using the art of pop music, she explores feelings and experiences that are often left unspoken about; tenderly bringing difficult themes out from the shadows for a moment in the sun.
Inspired by Kate Bush, Tori Amos and Joan as Policewoman, her whimsical arrangements are full of shape, colour and texture – and always topped with her signature breathy, yet powerful voice. Her live shows feature vocal looping, showcasing her masterful command of creating sonic landscapes with harmony.
Her performance highlights include a support spot for Kimbra, backing vocalist and sessional singing work for Marcia Hines, Delta Goodrem and Anthony Callea. She also performed at the 2021 Vision Australia ‘Carols by Candlelight' concert. She's known for her yearly Christmas concerts at Northcote's Wesley Anne, Mezz is a constantly evolving and inspiring member of Melbourne's folk music community.
About Bron
In a quest for both experimentation and intimacy, Melbourne-based artist Bron creates cinematic and ethereal soundscapes that evoke the wonder and awe of being in the natural world. Translating her earthy, gentle nature into song, Bron’s music exists between the realms of chamber pop and contemporary folk (think Agnes Obel's chamber minimalism meets Ruelle's dramatic, ethereal vocal and the otherworldly melodies of Aurora).
Bron is the moniker of singer-songwriter Bronwyn Rose Hicks, who was raised in a special little patch of Victoria’s Dandenong Ranges surrounded by rainforest, fern gullies and berry farms. Her background tells of a versatile instrumentalist and performer – cutting her teeth as a violinist before performing as a member of experimental vocal ensemble Invenio. After completing her studies at Monash, a stint living in Europe saw Bron jamming regularly with jazz musicians in the French Alps whilst completing further studies in composition at the CRR d’Annecy.
A versatile and sought-after singer-songwriter, Bron’s voice has graced stages alongside the likes of Tina Arena, Andrea Bocelli, Lior and classical rock group Vereya. Beyond the stage, her work includes composing the score for the Australian short film End Of The Line, multiple sync projects for Viacom and composing the theme songs for Sydney-based Virtual Escape Rooms (Vex Arena).
Fresh off the back of releasing her debut album In Another Realm to a packed house at The Catfish in June, Bron will bring an intimate set of her original music to the Kew Court House Live series with Robbie Finch on double bass and Andrew Moharic on guitar and harmonium.
