The evening will kick off with 'The Eastern Sound System'. Adam McGrath spinning records, carefuly selected in triubute to his heros 'The Warratahs', while you find your listening post and settle in to Blue Smoke..
Reb Fountain will take the stage first, warming the room with her deep and powerfully crafted songs..
she'll be sure to make you laugh and cry and open those heart ways for the titans of the backbeat themselves..
.. and stick around after the singing is done for more records and dancing until you can't dance no more!
UP WITH THE PEOPLE FOR 30 YEARS
Hot on the heels of their 7th studio album ‘Runaway Days’, The Warratahs are heading your way soon. 2016 is the band’s 30th year and is a tribute to their music and the enduring song writing talent of Barry Saunders.
From the Far North to The Bluff (yes, they recently played there) hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders have packed pubs, theatres and dance halls and have literally grown up with these titans of the backbeat and buccaneers of the road.
30 years of airports, motels, rental cars, highways, back roads, sound checks, encores and many more to come. ‘Runaway Days’ in its second week of release from Southbound Records, entered both the NZ Charts and Country charts in the Top Ten. ‘Runaway Days’ was in the NZ Album Charts for 14 weeks. Don’t miss this band, now in its prime.
