Accomplished multi-instrumentalist/singer/songwriter Mark Turner and jazz/blues singer and songwriter Jessie Gordon have known each other for many years, since he was a mere slip of a 13 year old and she was a willowy redhead avoiding the sun at all opportunities. More than 20 years of friendship have ensued, with music as the cornerstone of their lives.
Mark and Jessie enjoy a friendship that thrives on celebrating each other, celebrating the joy of living and sharing deeply in the painful, beautiful moments of life. This is the energy they bring to their songwriting and their live performances, and it’s an energy built over two decades of performing together.
Together they have toured around Australia and through Europe, won awards at Fringe World 2019 and 2020 and recorded on six albums, including their collaborative 2019 release ‘Best Friends’.
For their return performance at Bay Music Club, the duo will be presenting some of their original music and also a wonderful selection of famous jazz duets. Video
