21.11.06 - MARK WELLS TRIO DEBUT HOMETOWN SHOW

Award-winning Novacastrian singer/songwriter Mark Wells will make his debut performance with his brand new trio lineup at the Queens Wharf Brewery on Thursday 30th November.

The performance will showcase a stack of new songs from the former Supersonic frontman’s soon-to-be released solo album and will also be part of a live recording being put together for radio and TV.

“I’m excited about this gig because it’s a first time for a lot of things,” says Wells. “We’ve got a set of brand new songs being played by this brand new band, and we’ll be rolling tape. There’s a feeling that anything can happen.”

The Mark Wells Trio features drummer guitarist/bassist Dave Carroll and drummer Martin Paget, two musicians who are best known for their work in local alterno-rock outfit Cotton Sidewalk.

The Brewery show will kick a short string of dates for Wells over November/December including a short tour of the East Coast and a solo support for Sarah McLeod.

“It’s the beginning of a very busy time. The album’s due out in March, and then there’s a national tour planned to promote it,” says Wells.

The show on Thursday 30th November will also feature a special guest appearance by ABC Music Awards Best Female Vocalist, Marissa Saroca.

The show kicks off at 9pm and entry is free.
