"The Favourites are my new favourites. Smooth, serene and with melodies that linger. Delightful."

Mark Callaghan, GM Australian Music Publishers Association Limited

Both Martin and Rebekah have worked together regularly in Sydney for many years as performers and songwriters.  Originally of Sydney funk band Raw Sugar, who released two albums through Festival records in the 90s, both Martin and Rebekah have had quite successful careers working with other artists. 

Rebekah is an in demand session singer who has performed extensively with Jimmy Barnes and Jackie Orzacsky as well as working with The Sleepy Jackson, Jade McCrae, Marcia Hines, iOTA , Shauna Jensen and Lotus Position.

Martin has worked as a guitarist and producer in a broad range of musical styles with independent and commercial artists as diverse as Jimmy Little, David Campbell, Abby Dobson, Jimmy Somerville, Lo-Tel, Story, Tammy Ingram,  Pape Mbaye, Junglehammer, Nina Hagen,  Paulini and Tap Dogs.  In 2007, Martin was also the guitarist in the hit musical Hedwig and The Angry Inch and in the house bands for both The Sideshow on ABC TV and The Singing Office on FOX8. 

Their debut album release 'Counting The Days' traverses the many styles that have influenced the careers of Martin and Rebekah to date.  It swings through Rock, R&B, Soul, Jazz and Folk on a mesmerizing journey of rich production and soaring vocals.  There is a stellar line-up of guests including Jon Howell from Chase The Sun on Drums, Organ Maestro Clayton Doley, Michael Galeazzi from Karma County and Backing Vocals from the likes of Mahalia Barnes and Tina Harrod to name a few.
