Mama Red & the Dark Blues are fresh back from a European sojourn and full of fun and fancy. With new songs to share and a new album in the making, they’re ready to blow the roof off!

Mama Red And The Dark Blues
Aminah Hughes
Mama Red and the Dark Blues play harmony-drenched country blues with more than a hint of gothic noir. The brainchild of Harry Deluxe and Melanie Bainbridge, they will charm you with their beguiling songs of loves lost, romantic revenge of the foibles of humanity. Ever messing with stereotypes, Mama Red and the Dark Blues have an artistic vision that refuses to be confined by expectations of genre. They’re packed with tongue-in-cheek goodness, music that will move your mind and your soul, and just enough barbs to keep you hooked on their Siren songs for ever.
Aminah Hughes appeared on eleven albums in Australia and Europe before producing her debut solo album, Blue Wooden Boat. Recorded in Ireland, USA, Australia and Germany it has earned her a number of accolades, including a nomination at The Independent Music Awards in New York. She has played international festivals and shared stages with Tommy Emmanuel, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Declan O’Rourke and Waterboys fiddler, Steve Wickham. Praised for her “powerful vulnerability, enhanced by stunning, soulful vocals” (Musical Notes Global, NY), she is joined this evening by some of Perth’s most illustrious musicians.

Mama Red & the Dark Blues Quintet – Acoustic Show
Mama Red & the Dark Blues are bringing you their new tunes raw and acoustic, so make sure you’re strapped into your seats because these ones are pure hard hitting harmony.
If you’re in for a heapin’ helpin’ of country influenced heartstring tuggers you’ve come to the right place.
Mama Red will be calling out to the sister circle with new tales of darkness and destiny. The tunes speak of fear and fierceness, redemption and rebirth and painful, radical truth.
We’re stripping it right back this time to feature heavy vocal harmonies…if the Dixie Chicks and Nick Cave had a love child, she would almost certainly be a Dark Blue.
Harry Deluxe, Melanie Bainbridge & Therese Cruise are backed, acoustically, by the incredible, Almore James on guitar, and John Wilson on bass.

Workshop
Paul Kelly's latest foray has reawakened the nation’s fascination with the power of poetry and narrative. This workshop will explore poetry as a place to begin song writing and will focus on finding a personal voice by exploring participant’s inner worlds. With a focus on the art and economy of lyrical writing Melanie Bainbridge, Harry Deluxe & Therese Cruise from Mama Red & the Dark Blues will take each emerging song writer through a story seekers journey, and bring them out with their own piece of lyric poetry to share.

There’s nothing more exciting than the sound of a sassy Rockabilly Filly out front of a serious posse of hot muso’s getting’ messy with their instruments!
Harry Deluxe is a raunchy retro-inspired songbird whose vocal talents rival some of the hottest swing and rockabilly icons.
Swingin' from Ruth Brown and Etta James to Janis Martin and Wanda Jackson this 'swingabilly filly' can belt out a ballsy tune that will knock the bobby socks off even the most mellow cats and kittens, and then soothe your every ill with sexy, soulful crooning.
Harry's hot blend of kitschy-cool classic covers and sassy original tunes make her one truly unique entertainer. A foxy female Brian Setzer - this chick can swing, rock and boy is she blue.
Harry Deluxe and the Cap Gun Johnnies are supported by La La's Python (9.45pm).
ENTRY: $20.00 (General Admission) | $10.00 (Members)
La La's Python
--------------------
La La's Pythons is a five piece rock band, playing groove's influenced by Blues, Rock, Country and Funk and loving it! Band Members are Craig Pinkney, Paul White, Michael Burn, Bert Giancristofaro, and Kim Siragusa.
Ever heard a song and wondered what the real story behind it was? Songwriters make music that tells universal stories, that their audiences can truly relate to and make their own. But like many works of art, these stories often emanate from the deepest, darkest places in a songwriter’s mind, and have a deeply personal meaning as well. Join us for an evening of songwriting stripped bare where we will unpack the raw passion and emotion that culminated in Mama Red & the Dark Blues’ debut album, The Wages of Sin — and the new upcoming album, Long Way to Redemption.
Described as Australian Gothic alt-country blues, but messing with genres, gender stereotypes and refusing to be stylistically confined, the band’s eclecticism and originality is part of their charm. Mama Red & the Dark Blues sing straight to the hearts of those who have wrestled with rotten relationships, waded through self-doubt and addiction and who have come out the other side with grace, power and a universal story to share.
You’ll be charmed by frontwoman Harry Deluxe, Melanie Bainbridge & Therese Cruise on harmony vocals, and Al James, John Wilson and Gregory Brenton – Perth’s most evocative rhythm section. Add a little dangerous didge by Sanshi and a host of incredibly special guests and you have an invitation to an evening you’ll never forget.
Come and hear our stories, and you might just find your own.
