Dom Mariani

Dom Mariani is one of Australia's heroes of underground rock, an estimable guitarist with a taste for power pop and a rock & roller's heart. He has been in a number of celebrated Australian bands -- most notably the Stems, DM3, and Datura4 -- while nurturing several side projects along the way, as well as a slowly but steadily growing solo career. Making his solo debut in 2003 with Underwater Casino from his surf-influenced combo Dom Mariani & the Majestic Kelp, he began recording entirely under his own name with 2004's sweet but impassioned Homespun Blues & Greens, followed by 2010's thoughtful, engaging Rewind & Play and 2025's mature, pleasing Apple of Life.
