The Meltdown in the MEZZ

On 29 October, Australian soul band The Meltdown will take you on a warm journey back to the heyday of soul and rhythm & blues. Their sound is a rich blend of these genres, complemented by influences from gospel and jazz.

Led by singer and songwriter Simon Burke, the band has been creating timeless music with deep emotional resonance for years. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2017, followed by It’s A Long Road (2022), which reaffirmed The Meltdown’s strength in crafting layered soul.

Live, the band guarantees an honest and heartwarming show: horns, organ sounds, and captivating grooves all make an appearance. Get ready for an evening of Southern soul, with echoes of Stax, Motown, and Nashville’s songwriting tradition.
