Mezz Coleman is Melbourne-based vocal coach, a singer-songwriter, and a musician. In short, she’s in the middle of a long and varied career! So far highlights include a support spot for NZ’s Kimbra, backing vocalist and sessional singing work for Marcia Hines, Delta Goodrem, and Anthony Callea; and performing at the 2021 Vision Australia ‘Carols by Candlelight concert’ – who hasn’t dreamed of being part of that special annual event?

Mezz has often talked about forging a career in music while also being a mum (to two kids), and you may have heard her speak on “the Art of Being a Mum” podcast. Her new album is “I Never Said a Word” – and we’re here to hear all of yours, Mezz! Welcome to Music Mothers and Others – and thanks for letting us feature some of you gorgeous music, tracks ““Much More Than This”, “Chasing Light” and “Magic Moment”.

Patience Hodgson – Music Mothers and Others

Our guest today is Patience Hodgson. Patience stole the nation’s hearts as the lead of iconic Brissie band The Grates for nearly two decades. These days Patience still plays but in more select venues and occasions – with one of those excellent occasions being a special appearance at Small Fry Rock, the all ages gigs run by KJ Tainton that really do tick all the boxes for families enjoying music together. We’re thrilled to have you here, and still hopelessly devoted to you – Patience!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
