Steve Cournane - percussion
Mark Laurent - guitar & vocal
Pete Parnham - upright bass
Steve, Mark & Pete are all very experienced and versatile musicians. Together they play an aural tapestry of eclectic song-scapes, originals and tastefully re-imagined covers, blues/jazz/world flavours, woven together with a great groove.
The Corner Store is a well-loved city fringe bar located at the top end of Mt Eden Rd in Eden Terrace, Auckland. The Corner Store features an extensive selection of malt whiskey, seriously good cocktails, local and imported beers as well as an excellent wine list and a selection of bar snacks.
(The band)
Steve Cournane is one of NZ's finest percussionists - some of you may know him from his work with Wellington jazz-fusion exponents CLBob, but he's also highly respected as a session musician and composer.
Mark Laurent is a seasoned singer-songwriter, and a fine guitarist, with a large repertoire of originals and covers.
Pete Parnham hosts the Auckland Bluegrass Club and is an in-demand upright bass player with lovely feel and a warm stage presence.

Have you ever made Anzac biscuits, where you melt the golden syrup and butter in a pot, and then you add the hot water and baking soda, and it all foams up, like a big whoosh of hokey pokey that is going to overflow over the edges? Musically that is what this is like. - Pete's review
