J Mahon is the musical project by Berlin based Australian expat Jarrod Michael Mahon. Having released 20 home recorded EP’s and albums in the past years as a way of marking diary entries while getting clean and sober, J finally released his first studio album in 2023. ‘Everything Has a Life’ was produced alongside Syd kemp (Thurston Moore, Ulrika Spacek, Spiritualised). Heavily influenced by Sparklehorse and Daniel Johnston, Mahon creates pop songs wrapped up with chamber strings and guitar feedback. The live shows can span between a solo performance of just piano and vocals, to a electric guitar full of fuzzed feedback and backing track, or then up to a 7 piece live band. Either everything or nothing and all performances being just as impactful. In 2024 Mahon released a B-Side to the debut album, toured the UK in January as his first headline tour, supported Ulrika Spacek, Tess Parks, Speedy Ortiz and Drahla throughout Germany and performed a show at London’s Rough Trade East. In the past he has performed support tours with Ariel Pink, GUM and King Krule throughout Australia. Bradley Hannan Carter of NO, Faux Prix and more! Presented by El Cid. This is a 21+ event
