Mack & Cook is the genre-bending collaboration between singer-songwriter Lizzie Mack and guitar-slinger Murray Cook. Together, they blend soul, country, swamp blues and roots into a uniquely heartfelt sound.

After a decade of touring their four albums together, they now return as a stripped-back duo with a renewed purpose: bringing their country-soul stories directly to the people.

NEW SINGLE: "TIME GOES BY" A slow-burn country soul track about life, time, and trusting the journey. Time Goes By is an ode to resilience and connection — performed with acoustic warmth and musical depth. Murray plays guitar, mandolin, and bass on the track, reflecting the duo’s multi-instrumental approach.

The Retreat Hotel would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which The Retreat now stands, and pay our respects to all elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded and that our venue operates on stolen land.
