Alt-country, Americana, indie rock. It's what we do...

Mermaid Avenue are a Brisbane/Meanjin based band, formed in 2015 around the songwriting of Peter Clarke and current members Mike Kearey, Casey Lee, Nathan Poetschka and Mark Egan. Our music travels the backroads from Americana to indie rock, with a few slight detours along the way.

We are prolific songwriters and are always releasing new music into the wild. You can hear it on most of the major platforms, and almost all of the minor ones. 

Our latest album, 'Loveday No. 9', has just been released.
