Minnie Marks
2026-04-18 21:00 - 23:30 | WA
Minnie Marks is not just some blazingly electrified guitar playing freak of nature. She is also a rare and triple threat: Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Some say a ‘sonic tsunami’. Impossible to ignore.
Relentlessly gigging across the globe, armed with her old Goldtop slung over her shoulder and a revolutionary Foot Drum at her feet; Marks consistently pushes musical boundaries with her ferocious, mind-blowing, dynamic guitar wizardry and her insanely powerful, soul soaked voice, that roars out her truth through song as if her own life depended on it. And, if that’s not enough, simultaneously, creates bone marrow shaking grooves with her spare limbs on her Foot Drum kit. Finally all three beasts are married together to forge a mammoth sized wall of sound that must be seen to be believed.
In 2025, Marks’ fierce dedication and unmatched live energy were recognised when awarded the ‘Musician of the Year’ at the Sunshine Coast Music Awards — a new milestone in a career already stacked with accolades. From winning the Bluesfest Busking Competition in 2011, being named ‘Best Guitarist’ at Open Arms Festival, to taking out the ‘People’s Choice Award’ at both Blues at Bridgetown Festival and Nannup Music Festival. Marks is cementing her place time and time again as one of the most unstoppable forces in the scene.
With three studio albums under her belt and one live album recorded in Stuttgart, Germany. Marks’ isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Hang onto your hats, because the best is yet to come: Her next album, due for release in 2026, is already being hailed as her most anticipated and game-changing project yet. You’re going to want to clear your schedule when this one lands. It’s not just an album, it’s a musical explosion that will leave you hanging for more.
Here’s what some of the industry’s finest have to say:
“BADASS.” – Jennifer Batten (Michael Jackson, Jeff Beck)
“One of the most amazing shows of our lives!” – Carl Verheyen (Supertramp)
“HOLY MOLY! Minnie you groove so f**kin’ hard” – Joey Landreth (The Bros Landreth)
“Undeniable virtuosity, energy, and a HUGE personality in every performance.” – Joe Robinson
“She plays guitar like nothing I’ve ever seen before. She’s going to blow the world apart.” – Kim Churchill
“PRODIGY.” – Sarah McLeod (The Superjesus)
“One of the finest young guitar players in the country.” – Julz Parker (Hussy Hicks)
“Damn, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a female shred harder in the flesh.” – Dallas Frasca
After more than a decade on the road, Marks remains a fearless, stage devouring, genre-defying artist who lives to perform. You’ve been warned. This musical juggernaut is ready for any battlefield, be it a festival or bar room packed like a can of sardines. Buckle up. Her monstrous show DOES NOT disappoint.
