Don McGlashan Announces Two New Dates For 'Take It To The Bridge' Tour

A towering figure in Aotearoa's musical landscape, Don McGlashan has expanded his already epic-length Take It To The Bridge Tour, announcing two new headline dates due to hot demand at Wellington's Vogelmorn Hall and Lyttelton's The Loons this September. The twice winner of the APRA Silver Scroll award,  Arts Laureate and helmsman / key member of such iconic groups as The Mutton Birds, Blam! Blam! Blam! and The Front Lawn will be joined for his springtime shows by Anita Clark on violin, keys and backing vocals, who will also open for each event as Motte. Don't miss McGlashan playing tunes from his chart-topping new album Bright November Morning and highlights from throughout his songbook — check out the updated tour details (now playing 20 shows!) and grab tickets while you can...

"Two reasons that I wanted to call this tour the Take It To The Bridge Tour:

1. I love bridges. Making it possible to get, physically, across major obstacles: rivers, ravines, swamps - seems to me one of the most remarkable things humans can do. It's no wonder that bridges get used as metaphors for healing, co-operation, reconciliation - all those other good things that humans can do, when we put our minds to it.

2. I once saw James Brown at the Red Parrot Disco & Club in New York. It was a three blanket night - meaning that he broke down from over-emotion three times in the course of the evening, and each time, he had to have a blanket thrown over his shoulders and be lead off stage. I felt very privileged, but I was later told that he did that most nights. He also shouted at his band to "Take it to the bridge!" a lot. And every time he did that, that's exactly what they'd do." - Don McGlashan
