Big Merino

Big Merino celebrate the release of their second album, 'Sweet Little Angel'! Big Merino play original songs that blur the lines between rock, country, blues, roots, soul and pop. Despite an obvious passion for Americana their music somehow also sounds quintessentially Australian—shaped by the landscape and our own stories.

The basis for the live sound is the classic 4-piece combination of acoustic and electric guitars, vocals, bass and drums, but on the albums there are multiple guitar layers, plenty of gospel style harmonies, Hammond organ, piano, horns and percussion to fill out the sound.

Reviews:

"Sometimes’ is one of the most powerful rock songs I've heard in many years. 'Black Cockatoos' is destined to become an Australian classic." - Peter Winkler, TheMusic

"The album sounds so full it has more than three dimensions. It’s the aural equivalent of having your cataracts removed to find you have 20/20 vision and you are looking over the Megalong Valley." - Louise Howells

"Great songs, great songwriting and best of all - full of a real sincerity and commitment." - Michael Smith, Rhythms
