Sweet Cecelia Entertainment proudly presents a rockin’ show featuring Low Rent, Spearmint Furand Andrew J Shepherd Saturday March 6th at Spenser’s Live.

Low Rent are analternative/county/rock band from Melbourne. After forming in 2007 as a three-piecefolk band, they have transformed themselves in both size and sound to thecurrent five-piece line-up. With comparisons to The Waifs and John Butler, theyare one band to keep an eye out for! Lead by brilliant songwriter and guitaristDan Swan he brings high energy and quirkiness to each of the shows. His countrified rock songs are interpretedbeautifully by a band of experienced musicians, all bringing inspiration fromvarious sources.

Their debut EP ‘Waiting to Fall’ which was released in2008 has had a great response fromfans and media alike. Theonly downside being the record leaves the listener hungry for more. Fresh fromrecent gigs including The Melbourne Zoo Twilights and The Edinburgh Castle, thegroup continues to gain attention and take on the role of a hard working band. Check out their recent rockumentary Living Low Renton YouTube.

Andrew J Shepherd fromJakk’s Azimuth writes beautiful melodies with political importance. He bringsforth a unique blend of progressive, acoustic folk/pop. Comedown for a great night of rock, alternative, folk entertainment.
