Tabasco Tom and Doc White with Broderick Smith

Mix one part old-time medicine show, one part hillbilly swing, spice with a bit of country blues and New Orleans jazz and you have the Tabasco Tom and Doc White show. Tabasco hails from Long Island, New York and is steeped in the traditions of the American musical heartland. Tabasco found himself in Australia in 1999 looking for like-minded souls passionate about keeping the music he loved fresh but faithful, energetic but respectful, adventurous but grounded. He didn’t have to look very far because just over the hill in the Dandenong Ranges, Doc White was trying to do the same thing. Joined by Broderick Smith on harmonica, Tabasco and Doc deliver the sounds and rhythms of this incredible musical heritage.

Mike Harding

Kiwi folk/country/blues/rock, this time with the songs that help us laugh at ourselves. www.mikeharding.co.nz

Mike Harding, a musical storyteller at ease with his instrument, his audience and his mission to seek out and share in performance the songs that take us back to where we have come from. Songs celebrating New Zealand, its people and their stories.

Kiwimusicana;   a solo, acoustic presentation of songs mostly from the lighter side of Kiwi music and the daggier end of homegrown humour.

Kiwimusicana;  songs from small towns and back-country roads, from the radio and the rodeo, the city and the shed; love-songs, pub-songs, pop-songs, dog-songs; train-songs, sea-songs, down-the-hall-on-Saturday-night songs.

Kiwimusicana;  story-songs that bring up an affectionate chuckle at the way we were.

Kiwimusicana;  vernacular ballads and ditties from the Kiwi songwriters who have helped us to laugh at ourselves.

Kiwimusicana;  songs by, about and for New Zealanders.

Beyondsemble

“nothing short of pyrotechnic display of dazzling virtuosity by four highly imaginative and gifted musicians.”

“These four talented musicians have the skill to make music of the highest quality look easy. They play together with complete trust…This concert was exhilarating and seemingly faultless”

With responses like this to the well over 200 gigs Beyondsemble have played since launching in New Zealand in 2009 it is no surprise the band has shot into the limelight on the local festival scene and is getting a lot of attention offshore.

An eclectic and diverse mix of tunes and songs both original and sourced from around the globe executed with virtuosic skill, innovation, creativity, infectious energy, a sense of adventure and an exuberance of spirit. Music to move you and make you move.
