Performing once again in The Boat Shed on Queens Birthday weekend.
Come out to The Riverhead for some rock-infused country blues for the last Sunday of live music at The Boat Shed before winter renovations commence.
The band has some new songs to play to you.
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.
