About

Cope Street Parade + Martin and Mearns Sat 27 Sep '25

Cope Street Parade are one of Australia’s most acclaimed high energy music ensembles. They blend spicy rhythms with unique song writing that span the genres of folk, pop, gypsy and swing. With tender ballads and rollicking dance numbers they capture the spirit and warmth of early music styles and successfully blur the lines between the contemporary and the classic. Influences include Louis Armstrong, Louis Prima, Father John Misty and Leadbelly. The hot sounds of gypsy swing mixed with element of New Orleans traditional jazz meld together to create a style of folky jazz music that sounds both new and old yet always uniquely Australian, as if Django Reinhardt met Louis Armstrong in a good old ozzie country pub.

Martin and Mearns bring the warm vocal harmonies from singer/songwriters Dave (Smiley) Martin and Chris Mearns, blending bass and acoustic guitar to produce song experiences with strong heartbeats and rhythmic energy.
