Some reviews of our last gigs in June:- ‘….the electrifying sounds of Jo Meares’ Silver Bullets brought the audience to a standing ovation at the end of their brilliant performance, not too shabby an outcome. Mark McCartney on ripping lead guitar, brilliant, Charlie Barker on mesmerizing bow and saw, Scott Bennett on drums, Jo Meares leading the vocals and the irrepressible, wild Mark Carson on stand up double bass. A memorable session, fab night Tappy.’ ‘Spent a most soul affirming, spellbound evening at George Lane immersed in the creations of Jo Meares' Silver Bullets who I was really looking forward to seeing again after a wonderful show at Lyrebird Lounge a few months back. Magnificent energy, expansive soundscapes that take you through woods, valleys, dark crevasses of your mind, interspersed with rollicking ballads and, surprisingly, a brilliant pop song! I was thrilled to find out that Jo will be recording an album with The Silver Bullets because they are one of the best bands going around. Comprising of Mark Carson, Mark McCartney, Charlie Barker and Scott Bennett’ …OTHER COMMENTS/REVIEWS:- ‘I was hipped to this Australian singer/songwriter in the very best way: A mate kindly gave me one of his LPs and just told me to listen. I did. And I still am! Jo Meares has a dark whisper of a voice. He is like an introverted, quiet Paul Kelly. The writing is profound, the production and delivery exquisite. He might be the Aussie Bill Callahan in fact’ – Simon Sweetman, Radio NZ/Off the Tracks ‘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. Enchanting, transfixing, mesmerising: weaving an indelible spell. This is pure magic' - Arun Kendall, Backseat Mafia 9.5/10 "Man, this is gorgeous!" � Mark Rogers Nashville Babylon (Radio New Zealand) on 'The Dream Hotel’ "'Back To The World' is another of Meares’ mini-masterpieces. The 10-minute closer, 'An Old Dog And A Shotgun', would be worth your time alone, would be the album standout, the reason to come here to hear this – but there’s not a single dud track."� Simon Sweetman Off The Tracks, NZ My website is www.jomeares.com
