MOSSY FOG
2025-09-13 21:00 - 23:30 | Settlers Tavern, 114 Bussell Hwy, Margaret River, WA, 6285, Australia
Perth swamp lords Mossy Fogg have been stomping down the hallways of the WA music scene and beyond since their formation in 2014.

Vocalist Turin Robinson was already something of an industry veteran by this time, and the initial line-up came together to band up on his solo songs. They evolved, however, into a rusty mix of rock, blues, roots, folk and scrap iron that is collectively known as Mossy Fogg.

There’s a damn big voice in that there Robinson’s throat. It’s been fuelled by whisky and a life told in song. His growl is underscored by Dom Barrett’s weaving, stabbing guitar and the hell-broke-loose rumble of Callum Morrison’s bass and Andy Pearson’s drumset.

The results are real, raw and thoroughly alluring. Triple j’s Dave Ruby Howe in a four-star review for Weeping Willow stated it was ‘so authentic it ought to come with its own moonshine’. ABC Country Music Programmer/Producer, Kath Devaney was equally effusive, proclaiming, ‘… the swamp is missing an angel! This is smart psychedelic prog swamp blues rock and I had no idea Perth was harbouring the next great Australian band’.

Weeping Willow was also nominated for a WAM Song Of The Year award in the ‘Blues & Roots’ category and featured on Mossy Fogg’s second EP Stagnant, which they pulled from their ever-mutating swamp in 2021. At odds with its title, the EP represented a rebirth of the band, with an evolved line-up and a bigger sound to match.

They are influenced by – but not beholden to – Tom Waits, Timber Timbre, Hozier and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, bringing elements of noiseful beauty and rough charm into their compelling live shows.

Dylan was born in Kalamunda out of Swan Districts, Western Australia in 1995, picked up his first guitar at 8 and started putting pen to paper not long after. He started his carpentry apprenticeship at 14 and spent most of the next 12 years in the trade and a handful in rural exploration.
At 26 years old, that was it – he’d had enough and took the dive. From starting out playing locals pubs and busking at events to playing across WA for pubs, bars, corporations, mine sites agricultural shows and events. While developing his original career as well.
When you hear his music you can expect to hear the influences of Chris Stapleton, James Bay & John Mayer, one of his favourite quotations from the drummer that played on his upcoming single ‘It’s like Pearl Jam went Country’ and that has been one of his most humbling verdicts yet.
Dylan always said, his music is for those who’ve had a tough day, they get home grab a beverage and put on one of his songs. The reality is, it can be pretty tough out there and it certainly ain’t fair. But through the journey we travel and the things we experience through all the good and the bad, he hopes to write songs that we can all relate as truly believe we are all in the struggle together to find our purpose.

I studied music at WAAPA and the Australian Institute of Music and I’ve been a gigging pro musician for nearly 10 years.
Outside of my career, I love the simple things in life. A sunny April day, healthy food and surfing in the pristine South West is where I find my peace. Since age 14, all I’ve wanted to do was pick the guitar up every day. Starting a brand in wedding entertainment has made this dream come true, now I chat with couples and arrange my own acoustic wedding music as a full-time job. My mission is to approach every gig with, gratitude, respect a constant drive to get better every time. Nothing feels better than seeing my couple’s dream wedding become a reality and working alongside my best mates.
