STASH (Steve Tyson & Dave “Mash” Parnell)

For two decades, Steve Tyson and Dave “Mash” Parnell have played side by side in one of the country’s most traveled bands Rough Red. In the last few years, Steve released two acclaimed solo albums of eclectic folk songs, with themes of war, love, murder and redemption resonating strongly with critics who gave both records 4 stars in the national music press. Not content to sit behind the drum kit or the producer’s chair, Mash recently released his debut solo album, a heartfelt set of tunes reflecting on love-gone-wrong, love-going-right, loss, and family. Live, the empathy they have for the song can only come from performers who have spent many years together on stages from outback Queensland to Scandinavia.
