THE SHACK

GREEN MOHAIR SUITS

A quartet of expressive songwriters that take their four-part harmonies as seriously as they take their dedication to a good time, the Green Mohair Suits, (Brian Campeau, Richie Cuthbert, Jason Mannell and Ben Romalis) hold a reputation for inspired showmanship and performances as brash as they are emotive.

Having started as a way to hang out, enjoy a few drinks and stretch their obvious skills at smaller unrehearsed gigs, things have snowballed to hardcore recording sessions, main stage festival spots, international supports and, more recently, acting as the backing band for the initial Australian release of Beck Hansen’s Song Reader featuring the likes of Josh Pyke and Caitlin Park.

The Green Mohair Suits’ inspired musicianship has seen them compile a collection of quality original tunes – a solid mix of heartbreak and hangover, humour and humility – that are crying out to entertain a broader audience.

Occupying a broad musical landscape somewhere between Beck, Fleet Foxes, Tom Waits, & Gram Parsons, GMS’ style basks in the glow of “Garage-grass”. Fans should expect happy sad songs (or sad happy songs) in a harmonious blur of booze-soaked good times.
