Much has been written about open mic nights and just what can eventuate from them. One such success story is Cisco Caesar. The four-piece is the brainchild of Caesar Slattery and James Cisco, a couple of fellas who met at a Melbourne open mic night hosted by Jed Pickett. A coming together of musical kindred spirits occurred that open mic night.

Two brains are good, four is better, and so the lads rounded up and branded Jason Torrens and Jacob Cole. Old Hepburn Hotel, Hepburn Springs ā September 14 & The Newmarket, Bendigo ā November 15.
