Barleycorn Line-Up Monday 5 November 2012
Barleycorn News
Paige Mac
is made up of Paige MacMahon (19) on vocals, acoustic guitar and keys, Garry Van Vuuren (33) on bass, djembe and cowbell and Giorgio Laporta (28) on drums. Paige Mac was conceived in August 2011, after KZN-raised Paige decided to pack up her life and move to Cape Town in search of adventure. Having soon run out of money on her arrival to the Mother City, Paige decided to call up her (adoptive) cousin, Garry, whom she had never met. Within a few weeks the pair where jamming together in Garry’s garage and Paige Mac was born! Later, they invited drummer Giorgio Laporta in on their sessions to add that extra spice. Their sound could be described as progressive acoustic soul with a folk rock edge. However they choose to describe it, one thing is for certain - it appeals to people with diverse ranges of musical tastes. With Paige Mac’s ability to cross cultural, racial and age boundaries, this band is going places, having just recently been signed to Universal! Listen at http://paigemac.com/videos/
