After establishing themselves on the live scene earlier this year Family Affair featuring Charlie and Louie Marshall have been busy recording their debut album in recent months and lauch the first single “We Connect” with a special matinee show at George Lane on Sat Sept 14th.
Charlie Marshall is a singer songwriter from Melbourne best known for the legendary post punk blues of Harem Scarem and his band the Body Electric - which featured Warren Ellis and Jim White from the Dirty Three in it’s stellar lineup along with members of Beasts Of Bourbon and the Avalanches.

Family Affair is the father-son partnership of Charlie and jazz improvising multi-instrumentalist Louie Marshall. This new collaboration couples Charlie’s characteristic soulful vocals, astute lyrics and pure feel rhythm guitar with Louie’s instinctive musical touch and improvisation on keyboards, vocals and tenor sax. Drawing inspiration from a range of genres - soul, blues, folk, punk, indie and jazz - Family Affair perform songs from every album of Charlie’s extensive back catalogue with a free wheeling spirit, pulsing groove and intuitive connection between two like-minded musical souls. Forget predictable and playing by rote, expect innate understanding and musical symbiosis.
Supporting on the day is The Beluga Brothers - Steve Lucas (X) & Dave Hogan.
