Coast Acoustics Unplugged – Mystery Dogs

Sunday 28 September 2025 | 12:30 PM

The Mystery Dogs are coming to Coast Acoustics!

Featuring Mark Cryle (Asleep at the Reel) and Richard Evans (The Emu and the Turtle), joined by their former Spot the Dog bandmate Cathy Bell (Tin Star), this trio will be sharing songs from their acclaimed CD Shadow into Light.

Mark is no stranger to Coast Acoustics, having performed here a number of times and always delighting audiences with his masterful storytelling and guitar playing. Together, Mark, Richard and Cathy play, sing and write with a rare musical empathy born of long friendship and a rich shared musical history.
