Gig Information


Two of Australia’s finest singer-songwriters, Flemish born nomad Carl Cleves and Greek-Australian songbird Parissa Bouas meld a satchel of styles to “create a wonderfully textured quilt of beautiful and meaningful songs.“ Carl’s unmistakable guitar style is utterly captivating, whilst “Parissa has a voice that would aggravate angels with its beauty.”

Australia’s definitive coffeehouse couple weave stories with songs, touching a deep vein of humanity that leaves audiences moved, uplifted and crying out for more. In 2009 their new CD "Austalian Stories", recorded by Gunter Pauler, will be released by cult German label ‘Stockfisch Records’.

They have won many Australian awards including MUSICOZ- BEST FOLK SONG, ASA- BEST LYRICS, NCIEA- BEST ALBUM, ASA- BEST COFFEEHOUSE. Their latest CD, ‘Turn Back the Tide’ is very much a CD of our times and many of the songs tell stories, like ‘The Bethlehem Bell Ringer’, ‘The Coniston Massacre’ & ‘The Lion of Kandahar’. They have headlined at all major Australian folk festivals and toured internationally to Europe, Latin America and Madagascar.

Their music can’t be easily labelled. Whilst it’s true to say there is an ethnic flavour, there is also a strong folk/roots component, that combined with their singer/ songwriter style, delivers a unique musical experience that skirts many boundaries.
