Hailing from the streets of Naarm/Melbourne, Marley Del Prete has honed his craft in Melbourne's finest venues and jazz clubs. 2023 saw the release of Marley’s debut album ‘Movement’, this record was praised for it's fresh and innovative take on the time honoured genre. Produced by a local jazz wizard Nikodimos and mastered by UK spiritual jazz master Nat Birchall, ‘Movement’ explores the link between intense improvised trumpet and beautiful sultry melodies. Marley Del Prete’s Movement shares the spatial freedom of the early free Jazz New York loft scene, which birthed great saxophonists like Arthur Blythe and David Murray, and the Spiritual influences of the Coltranes and Pharoah Sanders. Marley has since been playing in the finest venues of Naarm/Melbourne and is looking forward to the release of his second album in early 2025.

Come Heavy Sleep
Come Heavy Sleep are an original duo del molto espressivo who, compose and perform folk noir music. Amongst their balladry and meditative improvisation, you'll hear cello, dobro, and voice all coalesce to give weathered flesh to rustic songs about old times and alone times. It is the music of empty country at dusk and a wine in the dark.
