Bret Mosley (USA) @ Tanswells
Event description
American touring veteran and recent Melbourne transplant Bret Mosley brings a signature idiosyncratic intensity and unreservedly authentic sound, informed by an extraordinarily itinerant journey from his small desert town beginnings in Texas to coming of age in New York’s indie music scene. Nomadic beginnings prepared Mosley for years of constant touring following the release of his debut album, Light & Blood. He has over 2,000 headlining dates under his belt, in addition to opening for notable international artists Cedric Burnside, Trombone Shorty, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, George Porter, Jr., and The Blind Boys of Alabama. Mosley has shared the stage with or supported prominent Aussie artists like Ian Moss, Tex Perkins, The Pierce Brothers and Hussy Hicks.
