NZ Guitar legend Billy T K snr, T.Race, and the travelling gypsy band bring a salute to the music of these two sixties deities. If you’re into peace, good vibes, acid rock, low down dirty blues – or any of the above, don’t miss this chance to Rock out with this moving and shaking tribute to Hendrix and Joplin.
Billy T.K. is often referred to as New Zealands own Hendrix. He took up professional guitar in the early 60s – when it was all beginning. Playing, and creating acid rock , for kiwi audiences as it was surfacing, with band The Human Instinct.
He has never stopped and he is in fine form. Billy has toured with and supported international artists such as John Mayell, Black Sabath, UB40, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee, Joe Satriani, Neville Brothers, Elvis Costello, Renee Gayor, Split Enz and Carlos Santana, and he brings his wealth of experience on stage with him.
T.Race is a dynamic rock and blues singer. She is a westcoast girl, raunchy and raw and has been singing with Billy off and on for the past 5 years. She embraces the gutsy drive, humour, and raw emotion of the time in her reverential impression of the first lady of rock.
