“…you can smell the whiskey and dust on every song…true to the spirits of Bob Dylan, Springsteen, Patti Smith and Townes van Zandt” – Sunday Star Times
The Eastern are a string band that swings like a gospel band, that drinks like a country band, that works like a bar band, that hopes like folk singers, and sings love songs like union songs, and writes union songs like love songs.
One of New Zealand’s best-loved bands, they’ve toured with Steve Earle, the Old Crow Medicine Show (twice) and the Lil Band of Gold. And they’re with us for one night only – bring your dancing shoes, your soul stance, your country swagger, your whiskey tongue … they have it all.
