The Mere Poets, a four-piece alternative rock band, are passionate about writing and playing their own original music. Their infusion of blues, rock, and funk truly sets their music a part form others in their genre. Drawing from infamous influences such as Eric Clapton, John Mayer, The White Stripes, and James Morrison, their music is both easy to listen to and enjoyable.

A key component to their unique style is the use of the saxophone, played by band member, Chris Gordes. This gives their sound a whole new dimension. Come kick it with The Mere Poets at the first round of Emergenza competition in Melbourne on Thursday, March 28th.
