Sunday January 26, 2014 - Cornwall Park, Greenlane; concert commencing 1:00pm.
This is a FREE concert and what better way to enjoy an Auckland summer afternoon than listening to The DeSotos play some of their well known tracks from both their albums and maybe some new songs from the yet to be recorded album!
BYO picnic & wine. Good idea to throw in sunblock and maybe an umbrella for shade!
Merch available (t-shirts, cd's & caps).
The DeSotos - “A powerful blend of rock-infused country blues”
The DeSotos have cemented their place as New Zealand's leading exponents of the Americana / country blues genres following the release of two albums that have been universally embraced by the critics. 2008's “Cross Your Heart” was voted Manu Taylor's no 1 New Zealand album of the year, and the 2011 release “Your Highway For Tonight” has received glowing reviews nationally and in the US.
Both albums have supplied the theme and continuity music to the TVNZ South and North series presented by Marcus Lush.
And their live show steps it up a notch further – 4 part harmonies, rootsy Gretsch guitar, Hammond organ with Leslie, and a rock solid rhythm section make for a tight and dynamic live sound that is as exciting as it is unique.
Paul Gurney – lead vocals, guitars
Stuart McIntyre – bass, vocals
Ron Stevens – Hammond, keyboards, vocals
Michael Burrows – drums, vocals
