CoCo is delighted down to our toes to be offering you an evening with The Magic Lantern (and a soon-to-be-announced supporting act).

The Magic Lantern is the moniker of singer-songwriter and composer Jamie Doe, an artist blurring the boundaries between folk, jazz and contemporary music. Born in Australia before moving to the UK at 12, The Magic Lantern has released four full length albums and toured the UK, Europe and Australia alongside This Is The Kit, Sam Lee and Alabaster Deplume among others.

His fifth album ’To Everything A Season’ was written and recorded in the months following his daughter's birth and his father's death six weeks later. In their brief meeting in a dementia nursing home, two ends of the circle of life touched. Of that cathartic moment, Jamie says 'I saw myself in my father, and my daughter in me and I felt joy and grief in overlapping waves, beautiful and complicated, which continue to ripple outward' These songs are my attempt to make sense of this incredible time - ‘A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted’

Performing an intimate solo set at Cobargo Commons, The Magic Lantern's live show captures a rare emotional immediacy through Jamie’s arresting vocal lyricism and piercing lyrics, crafting songs that examine the limitless depth of the human experience with devastating, joyous results. Jamie will also be joined in duo formation by special guest Emily-Rose Sharkova.

Immerse yourself in the generous light of The Magic Lantern here.

As ever, the CoCo Kitchen will be offering gorgeous and scrumptious bowls for $15, and variable ticket prices from $10 - $30, so please choose a ticket according to your means. If you'd like dinner (cake and drinks not included), we would really appreciate if you could book a ticket no later than Monday 13th. Thanks! Doors and dinner at 6, show at 7.

We look forward to sharing this beautiful evening with you.
