Singer/songwriter Dan Webb is coming to New Zealand! Highly renowned for his lively stage presence, the 22 year old has already had much acclaimed success back home in Australia. Having recently toured his homeland and the UK, performed at the popular 2011 St Kilda Festival and been the main support act for Conway Savage (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds), Webb is quickly earning his place among the list of today’s rising stars. He’s also recently joined forces with renowned musicians including Kylie Auldist from Australia’s premier funk/soul outfit The Bamboos and members of The Cat Empire horn section.
His sound is hard to place into one specific genre, but is keyboard–driven, energetic, rock music. By ditching the electric guitars and hitting the keys, this maverick has given rock a delicious and original spin that is sure to excite New Zealand!
Webb’s first tour abroad in August/September 2011 saw him play to crowds in London, Liverpool, Leicester & Oxford in addition to performing live on BBC London 94.9 and receiving airplay on Frank Skinner’s show on Absolute Radio to a live audience of more than 1 million.
