James Gray is a contemporary version of an old-school traveling folk singer. In the past decade, Gray has toured Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand seeing the world and sharing his beloved songs along the way. A unique finger style guitarist, with a vocal that is hauntingly beautiful, Gray, often accompanied by a rather droll, humorous stage patter, immerses himself in each and every song with a soulfulness and attack that is infectious and disarming.
James is currently touring New Zealand for the second time, with shows up and down the country. For this Wellington show, James is joined by local friends the Bidibids.
With lush harmonies, intricate arrangements, and beguiling melodies, the Bidibids balance soulful ballads that will tug your heart-strings with upbeat numbers which will get your toes tapping. This trio from Aotearoa New Zealand is built around Sarah August’s honest, intimate songwriting, driven by Brendan Scheck’s blazing mandolin and guitar, and anchored by Simon Carryer on cello-banjo.
