MEMO Live Streams: Rob Snarski & Shane O'Mara

Lead singer and founding member of The Blackeyed Susans, Rob Snarski has graced the same stage as Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, Nico and Marianne Faithful among others. A velvet-voiced troubadour with a musical palette that lies somewhere between Havana and Helsinki, he’s also a hired gun and has been a guest vocalist with The Triffids as well as The Go-Betweens’ 16 Lover’s Lane shows.

In 2014, Rob released his debut solo album, “Wounded Bird” and followed it up in 2015 with “Low Fidelity” a selection of covers with producer Shane O’Mara. His latest solo release “Sparrow & Swan” sees a pull towards the narrative – conversation turns into a song, late-night tales become tunes. There are stories from Brisbane cab drivers, girls from Belfast ‘74 in search of Van Morrison, football players and their protégés, relationships sparked in TABs, sightings of Robert Mitchum at Mitcham Station, a sailor in search of Helsinki and the weather, there’s always the weather; the sun burning a hole in the sky or snow falling upon ancient ice and birds, what’s with the birds?

Rob returns to play a special physically distanced show with long-time collaborator and guitar maestro Shane O’Mara.

20 seats upstairs. 20 seats downstairs. 2 shows only.

This will be Rob’s first live show since the shutdowns and lockdowns. They are sure to sell out.
