Paul McDermottPowerhouse singing-songwriting duo Paul McDermott and Steven Gates will bring their new collaborative project to venues in Victoria and Perth later this month.
The Doug Anthony All Stars and Tripod members will “lock harmonies and minds” as they deliver original songs of beauty and heartbreak across two shows in Melbourne and one in Perth.
After becoming friends 18 years ago, the pair finally began singing together five years ago, making their public debut as a musical duo at the 2017 Ballarat Cabaret Festival.
“Our friend who was programming it laid down a challenge, saying ‘I want you two to do a show together’ and now, we had such a good time, we want to keep doing it,” Gates said.
That led to performances at Adelaide Fringe Festival, Port Fairy Folk Festival and more.
“What we’ve come up with, I think, is a suite of pretty beautiful songs and in between those songs I just try to take Paul down a few notches,” Gates said.
