Devon Welch is back! Hailing from the Kāpiti Coast and back from his adventures abroad, he's decided to touch back down first at Wellys favorite watering hole The Rogue and Vagabond. Having been doing the Auckland circuit on rinse cycle and other gigs around the far north, (Waiheke Jazz Festival, Music in the Parks, Tremolo Festival to name a few) He's back into the swing of all things music for the lower north island. Come celebrate the return and shower love upon him as his van got stolen this week :/

Having spent the last 3 years on Waiheke island, a place not dissimilar to Devon's hometown on the coast.
The music gods would have it that some of these friends would be making their pilgrimage to the capital to attend jazz school.
Which is where we introduce PETER SKANKSON.
Legend has it Peter Jackson once travelled into the shire and found their ancient taverns to be proprietors of stanky grooves second to none. Peter Skankson aims to recreate the tracks likely to be heard in such an institution. Bringing the funk & soul tunes of a vibrant attire- Come for the classic tunes you know and love, stay for the drummer’s jarring resemblance to Elijah Wood. Peter Skankson wants nothing more than to see you grooving the night away.
Music from 9:30, FREE ENTRY
