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
