Tulalah (too-lah-lah) - six piece band consisting of five uber talented guys and one so, girl. Portraying folk sensibilities layered with jazz harmony and complex time feels. All members possess the ability to vocalize harmonies whilst mastering an array of different instrumentations. Love to crescendo tunes with a good old 'rock out' displaying passion for dramatic dynamic fluctuations. One may experience an emotional rollercoaster from tear jerking morbidity to an up tempo pop jig.

Tulalahs EP The Mule, is a culmination of tunes which best demonstrates their diverse and exciting sound as well as popular songs requested by their most avid fans. The Mule features songs vocally lead by both Bridie Cotter and Nick Roder as well as showcasing the talents of the other 4 members of the band through complex vocal harmonies and on their respective instruments. The EP was recorded in the budding home studio of Simon Hodson, mixed by the talented and impressively experienced engineer/producer Simon Cotter and mastered by the also experienced Simon Paul. This amalgamation of 3 Simons proves to be extremely successful with an impressive sound quality all round. The album artwork came to life via the talents of George Bendall. George has been their resident artist from day one and never fails to connect the music with her visual creations.

Since Mike Stern days with Blood, Sweat & Tears in the mid-70s, followed by stints with Billy Cobham, Michael Brecker in the 80s and his amazing work with the legendary Miles Davis, Mike has used his jazz roots as a base to explore rock, swing, funk, blues and world music.

With a solo career spanning nearly 30 years, the six-time Grammy nominee and recipient of Guitar Player magazine's Certified Legend Award for 2012 is not afraid to bring numerous styles and ideas - however diverse - into the same place just to see what happens, moving between straight-ahead jazz and rock fusion with consummate skill.

He takes to the stage with his long time collaborators "All Star Band"

Dave Weckl (Drums) Bob Franceschini (Sax) & Tom Kennedy (Bass)
