Led by the captivating voice of Welsh songwriter Danni Davis, In The Shallows are bringing their lush, harmony-drenched indie-folk-pop, with a little bot of rock and a little bit of reggae to town this winter. With nearly 100 shows nationwide under her belt, including main stage festival slots and a sold-out hometown show filmed for Mood.live (JuiceTV) with a a stellar new lineup, the band is hitting the road with special guests on strings and harp (Auckland/Wellington). Check out 'Not The One' here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fp04S2lwpw0 ... What a performance!
Expect emotionally-charged songs, soaring harmonies, and a dynamic, festival-ready set featuring Michelle Velvin on Harp (Wellington Orchestra NZSO,), Cello, Violin + Choir exclusive to the Auckland and Wellington shows.
With a string of 5-star reviews, a ‘Top 10 Live Show’ nod from Muzic.net.nz, and a forthcoming album produced by Steve Rokosh (Emmylou Harris), this is a rare chance to catch the full band live.
