"…extraordinary sense of rhythm and a razor-sharp tongue...no more country than R&B, no more folk than rock." - POPMATTERS
On the heels of his surprise end-of-year 2022 commemorative album release, 'Lighter & Bloodier: A Celebration of Light & Blood's 15th Anniversary’—Americana touring veteran & recent Melbourne transplant Bret Mosley returns to the Star Hotel, bringing his signature idiosyncratic intensity.
His unreservedly authentic sound is informed by an extraordinarily itinerant journey from small Texas desert town beginnings...to coming of age in New York’s indie music scene.
With 2000+ headlining dates under his belt—plus supporting Cedric Burnside, Trombone Shorty, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, George Porter, Jr., and The Blind Boys of Alabama, among others—he has also shared the stage with or supported Aussie artists Ian Moss, Tex Perkins, The Pierce Brothers, Hussy Hicks, Minnie Marks, Kallidad, et al.
