THE WHISKEY LIVE is a series of concerts presented annually by THE WHISKEY bar in Auckland’s Ponsonby Road as a celebration of New Zealand Music Month each May. Featuring a broad spectrum of New Zealand musicians performing one of a kind, limited capacity shows; THE WHISKEY LIVE is fast becoming a headline attraction of New Zealand Music Month each year.
‘Legend’ is a word suffering from chronic overuse syndrome these days; but when it comes to Jordan Luck, the word regains its full meaning… one the NZ public associates with this true blue Kiwi artist. This affection, shown also by his peers, as Jordan became the Inaugural Inductee into the New Zealand Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame. As front man and pop-writing genius with the legendary Exponents, he clocked up a staggering 18 Top 40 singles over the years, with ‘Victoria’ recently voted by public as the 8th greatest New Zealand song of all time. Today you can still hear 10,000 rugby fans sing in unison to ‘Why Does Love Do This To Me'’ at a Super 12 match.
The Jordan Luck Band is the band that Jordan has assembled to carry the torch of his pop-writing gift. Hand-picked from a wish-list of players he wanted to work with, Jordan found that he didn’t need to look too far....
The Jordan Luck Band is Bryan Bell, Beaver, *Rich Mixture, & Joe Walsh.
While The Jordan Luck Band still carry the torch of Jordan’s illustrious pop past by playing those beloved Exponents hits, the band also has one eye firmly on the future, with a recent bout of intense song writing for a new album, proving that Jordan’s creative muse is flourishing in its new environment. With a line-up like this, how could it be otherwise'
