Paddy Burgin and the Wooden Box band produce what music guru Nick Bollinger calls “handmade music of the finest kind”. Incorporating slide acoustic guitars, percussion and other instruments they take you on a journey around New Zealand to meet the people and places that have inspired their songs and instrumentals.
Recently the band produced the CD “My Sweet Town” which reviewer Graham Reid likened to James Taylor meeting Ry Cooder. The CD is accompanied by a DVD of concert footage filmed by Costa Botes.
Recent gigs for the band have included opening the annual Organic River Festival near Levin and the Ruby Lounge with Bob McNeil. Paddy is a guitar maker by day so expect a stage littered with handmade instruments and some discussion between songs about tone wood.
For the Ruby Lounge concert Paddy is joined by Bruce McNaught on percussion and Joe Callwood from Little Bushman on guitar.
Support Acts for paddy will be Murray Kilpatrick and friends; and Celia Briar, also with friends.
