Martin & Mearns

Dave Martin and Chris Mearns are songwriters first, which is why their covers land differently. The two voices sit together, a lead guitarist fills the space around them, and what comes out has a strong pulse to it. They play classics from Neil Young, the Travelling Wilburys, the Eagles, the Bee Gees, Roy Orbison, Mark Knopfler, Neil Finn, Van Morrison, Jackson Browne, the Everly Brothers, Rick Price and Norah Jones, plus a handful of their own. Sets are built around your occasion after a conversation about it, and a drummer can be added as a fourth. Their PA covers a room seating up to 300 and packs into about three metres square. They bring instruments and PA, and they turn up on time.
