Doc Schott & Rebecca Mo are an emerging acoustic duo fusing Bavarian soul with Essex grit - intimate, honest music rooted in real experience.
Doc Schott, Bavarian singer- songwriter, guitarist, and harmonica player,
carries a remarkable musical history. His Lower Bavarian studio has hosted Townes Van Zandt, Urge Overkill, and Go-Betweens founders Robert Forster and Grant McLennan — studio collaborators and live partners alike. As the driving force behind neo-folk band Baby You Know, he toured the USA and Europe.
Rebecca Mo, Essex-born songwriter and bass player, brings equal depth. A
member o f the all woman blues band Mormops, she has collaborated with
"Twink" a member of Pretty Things, Hawkwind, and the Pink Fairies and most
recently served as bassist i n EEEM alongside the drummer of punk legends
The Vibrators. Having already built a following across Essex and southern Germany the duo now bring their music to wider audiences. Every song is self-written - n o Al, no formula - just real stories drawn from real life.

Bazuker is a country pop trio from Maldon, Essex, known for their strong vocal lead, acoustic energy, and heartfelt approach to storytelling. Their sound blends ukulele, guitar, bass, drums, and expressive vocals into a style that feels both down to earth and quietly uplifting.
Fronting the band is Marie, whose powerful voice and rhythmic playing give Bazuker its emotional centre. Her delivery carries an honesty that draws listeners in, whether she’s singing an intimate or upbeat original. Mark brings depth and groove on bass, anchoring the band with melodic lines and an instinctive feel for dynamics and providing backing vocals. Bill completes the trio with tasteful, understated drumming that adds movement without crowding the acoustic space.
Bazuker perform a lively mix of originals, with their new album ‘Downside Up’ having been released on 1st May 2026 on CD and across all streaming platforms. Their shows—ranging from relaxed acoustic sets to full band performances—are known for their warmth, approachability, and the easy rapport they build with audiences.
