MARK LUCAS & THE DEAD SETTERS

The Dead Setters are a roots music band with a distinctly Australian approach to what is often described as Americana. Fronted by award winning singer-songwriter Mark Lucas, the band has recently released new album, Sideshow Alley. Firmly grounded in the narrative tradition popularised by the likes of Paul Kelly and Neil Murray, these are songs of substance and music that walks its talk.

If you like your roots music to have that edgy, lived-in quality that keeps a foot in both the traditional and the contemporary, Mark Lucas & the Dead Setters should be right up your alley...
"Mark Lucas remains one of the country's most interesting and literate songwriters, and his band exemplifies the hard edged inner western honky tonk that … always goes over well." Ken Date- krdcountry.com 2008 Tamworth Festival Report
