Trevor and Mel

Written by Anthony Brady and published in the Warrnambool Standard on Friday 7th September 2018.
Performance: Melissa Bowman and Trevor McKenzie know a thing or two about entertaining an audience.The duo have been regulars on the south-west music scene for many years and in many guises.On Sunday afternoon in the Cally Hotel beer garden from 4pm, the pair will roll out their acoustic cover show, a popular event for those wanting a lazy Sunday.McKenzie first rose to prominence in the 1980s as one half of Trevor and Boyd.He played alongside  Boyd Advincula, who passed away in July.Both Bowman and McKenzie are part of well known Warrnambool band Lost in Suburbia, a combination that has been together for twenty-five years and has played at the Port Fairy Folk Festival four times.Bowman said Sunday's gig was another chance to entertain and engage an audience."Our set as a duo is easy listening covers," she said."It's a format people enjoy, they can get up and have a dance or singalong, it's a nice way to unwind."When as a duo you are covering a song that is usually played by a full band, it does produce a different version, that keeps it interesting for us and the audience."
