After TWO SOLD OUT nights at Django Bar in 2014, long-time collaborators Lisa Schouw, Penelope Wells, Peter Bailey and Robin Gist return with their new show IF LOVE WERE THE MOON – an absorbing and eclectic mix of original songs by Gist/Bailey/Schouw and some of the 20th Century’s finest songwriters.

Schouw, an ARIA nominated Australian singer/songwriter, interprets an intoxicating blend of songs from the distant past and the near future that speak of the tender borderlands that lie between lovers meeting for the first or last time. This collection of intimate, unadorned songs puts her “richly deep as molasses and sweet as honey” voice front and centre (Drum Media).

Moving effortlessly from pop to jazz to folk and beyond Schouw leaves her audience wondering, “where the hell that voice was coming from. There was a quality to it that was sublime” (Ella James, 2UE).

Along with her partner and record producer Robin Gist (guitars) and multi-instrumentalist Peter Bailey (piano, banjo, mandolin, guitar, vocals), Schouw has created a haunting and powerful music experience. Sometimes delicate, pared-down acoustic guitars are all that accompany her dark and soulful voice - at other times the angular tones of piano and electric guitar or the otherworldly sound of the banjo create an evocative soundscape. “Love and loss exist simultaneously, so we wanted to place the songs at the heart of the work, to give them space to breath,” Schouw says.

For this new show the “luminous and illuminating” Penelope Wells will once again own “the space where melancholy lives” as she brings to the stage songs without artifice. “She sings as if she has known every bruise of every song” (Marie-Louise Herman, Writer/Film Producer).

If Love Were The Moon is an intimate, emotional roller coaster of a night – far from the madding crowds in the inner city heartland of fine music and exquisite melody.

Lisa Schouw, Robin Gist and Peter Bailey will launch their new 6 Track EP IF LOVE WERE THE MOON on SUNDAY 29thMarch at Django Bar. All ticket holders will receive FREE access to a Limited Edition website for download.
