The Big Break duo finalists ‘Mossy and Stevo’ get into the feel of some classic Radiohead<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

June 29, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

The South Burnett’s hidden talent has been on show in Kingaroy over the past two months as “The Big Break” talent search pitted local musicians against each other in a live competition on Friday nights.<\/p>\n

Organised by Michael “DJ Direx” Monk<\/strong>, and sponsored by the Commercial Hotel, Tanglewood Guitars and Musicians Oasis, the competition came down to a showdown between two acts, decided by popular vote from the hotel patrons.<\/p>\n

The winner of The Big Break duo competition<\/strong>, held this evening in the front bar at the Commercial, was Mossy and Stevo<\/strong>, aka vocalist Anthony Moss and guitarist Stephen Smith, from Kingaroy, who put their heart and soul into some classic Radiohead and other crowd favourites.<\/p>\n

They competed against duo John Swatland<\/strong>, from Wondai, and Kate Eckersall<\/strong>, from Tingoora, whose harmonies were a lot quieter but also won support from the crowd.<\/p>\n

The final of The Big Break solo competition<\/strong> was held at the Commercial on June 15.<\/p>\n

Former Kingaroy singer Olivia Ruth<\/strong> won the sing-off against Wondai’s Rowan Edwards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
