Truly.""North Hollywood Arts Review"  USA-Sydney songwriter Jo Meares released his album ‘Dream Hotel’ in November 2022. The album launch show was recorded and filmed at The Factory Fusebox in Sydney. Jo will now be releasing the film and live album at The Great Club.‘Dream Hotel’ is produced by Melbourne musician/ producer Anth Dymke (Pony Face).The album is a collaboration. Jo and Anth have been exploring their musical partnership over the last three years, taking inspiration, shaping and re- contextualising each others ideas as they built an album’s worth of atmospheric sonic landscapes around Meares’s evocative and poetic songs. The combination of Jo's songwriting, his Cohen-esque weathered tone, halfway between a whisper and a growl, and Anth's textured sonic terrains with their soundtrack-like emotionality, is the absolute key to why these two continue to create such compelling music. Jo will be playing at the Great Club with an extraordinary and brilliant group of musicians. Expect lush backing vocals, sublime violin and saw, lovely electronic sounds and piano, gorgeous guitar and percussion and brilliant songs.Jo will play ‘The Dream Hotel’ in full.JO MEARES BAND:- Jo Meares – vocal, Jessie Newling – backing vocals/piano, Jessica – backing vocals, Reuben Alexander – drums/percussion, Anth Dymke – bass/keys/programming, Michael Bridges – violin/saw, Matt Galvin - guitar"Meares, collaborating with Melbourne musician Anth Dymke of Pony Face, manages to draw in those elements of music that make it so cathartic and moving – think of artists like Tindersticks, Sigur Ros and the like who manage convey such feeling and emotion into their work, resulting in extremes: a sort of euphoria mixed with melancholy."Arun Kendall Backseat Mafia"Man, this is gorgeous!" ?Mark Rogers Nashville Babylon (Radio New Zealand) on 'The Dream Hotel’‘Dream Hotel’ is a magnificent tour de force: an assemblage of pure emotion that breathes softly down your neck and take possession of your very soul.
