*Auckland Arts Festival/Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki (AAF) is sadly unable to open this Thursday 4 March as planned, due to Auckland being at Alert Level 3. While we are working hard to hopefully reschedule much of the activity from the first part of our programme, we have been forced to cancel a small number of shows and events, including Gitbox Rebellion at the Warkworth Town Hall. Ticketholders are encouraged to consider purchasing a new ticket to Gitbox Rebellion at The Civic Club at Auckland’s Civic Theatre on 14 March. Ticketholders will be refunded and nothing more needs to be done. The full list for 4-7 March updates can be found here: www.aaf.co.nz/about/news/aaf-2021-covid-19-response*
AN AUCKLAND ARTS FESTIVAL / TE AHUREI TOI O TĀMAKI EVENT
Honouring the beautiful character of acoustic guitar, Gitbox Rebellion’s exuberant blend of jazz, rock, folk and classical will have you in sonic raptures.
An acclaimed multi-member performance unit of uncanny ability and chemistry, Gitbox Rebellion make their guitars sound atmospheric, chaotic and orchestral – and better than you could ever imagine.
Described as “Igor Stravinsky meets Pete Townshend,” the group’s music – both original tunes and covers – is a joyous collision of worlds, managing to be infectiously moody, upbeat, grungy and intricately textured all at once.
Extraordinary live, they’ll have you hooked from the first finger pick to the last.
With Nigel Gavin, Kim Halliday, Russell Hughes, Rob Mita, Sonia Wilson, Doug Robertson, Sam Loveridge and Bodi Hermans.
