A male singer wearing a dark velvet jacket is crammed in the back seat of a car. He has a guitar on his knee, a microphone and an amplifier on the seat beside him and his head is rested on a pile of coiled cables as he looks directly at the camera.

  • Performed by: James Marples

You hear a car horn outside your home. You step into the vehicle and at once the performance begins.

Part gig, part taxi ride - this immersive show features the velvety voice and off-kilter Americana of singer songwriter James Marples.

As you take a one way journey into the city, you'll hear songs from his forthcoming album 'Cruising in Third' - a vision of Melbourne through the front windscreen.
