Bill Lake has been an original voice in New Zealand music for more than five decades, from the country-blues of The Windy City Strugglers to the brassy funk of The Pelicans. His songs - often co-written with Arthur Baysting - have enhanced the repertoires of Midge Marsden, Darren Watson, Kokomo and Marg Layton, among others.
But no one plays Bill Lake like Bill Lake.
With an acclaimed new album, As Is Where Is, Bill will be surveying his songbook in an intimate setting, accompanied by a versatile group of stalwarts: Andrew Delahunty (mandolin, guitar, harmonica), Andrew ‘Clyde’ Clouston (saxophones) and Nick Bollinger (bass).
“Gentle, sometimes witty and just as often moving reflections at every turn” – Graham Reid, Elsewhere
