Round Up by arrangement with Live Nation are proud to present one of American music’s newest shining stars, Oklahoma-born rock ‘n’ roller, JD McPHERSON.
Known for his classic sound rooted in rock 'n' roll, rhythm and blues, and rockabilly, JD McPherson is set to play a razor sharp show in support of his latest highly acclaimed album, Let The Good Times Roll, backed by his longtime four-piece band featuring Jimmy Sutton on upright bass, Jason Smay on drums, Ray Jacildo on keys and Doug Corcoran on saxophone, guitar and keys.
McPherson has an impressive touring ledger that has seen him crisscross the US on headline tours and open for such acts as Robert Plant, Dave Matthews Band, Nick Lowe and Eric Church.
Produced by Mark Neill (The Black Keys’ Brothers, Old 97s, Los Straitjackets) along with McPherson, Let The Good Times Roll is in his own words: “full of big, bombastic sounds; lots of guitars, and tons of percussion.”
From the Eddie Cochran influenced title track to ‘Bridge Builder’ - the ballad co-written with Dan Auerbach - to the more punk inspired sounds of the current single ‘Head Over Heels’, this latest album is a foot-stomping, ass-shaking thing of beauty.
This new music follows McPherson’s widely praised 2012 debut, Signs and Signifiers, a scorching rock ‘n’ roll record that introduced him to the music world and had the likes of MOJO magazine calling it “…an utterly irresistible, slicked-back triumph.”
Don’t miss the chance to see the very talented JD McPherson and band live this summer.
Special guest for the evening will be Auckland's own roots country rocker Will Wood.
