SUMMARY:Al Young @ Tahi Bar and Kitchen
DESCRIPTION:Blues veteran Al Young returns to the Tahi Bar and Kitchen with something different – an afternoon of unplugged acoustic blues\, the way they played them back in the good old days. It’s also the way Al’s played them all over New Zealand and in Australia and the United States. The electricity’s off\, but the power is still very much “on” as a Kiwi blues legend turns back the pages. \nGreat music\, great venue\, great food and drink\, great people – you’ve gotta be there!

SUMMARY:Rowena Wise @ Auckland Old Folks Association
DESCRIPTION:This spring\, Rowena Wise makes her long-awaited New Zealand debut\, bringing an intimate solo show across the motu for the first time. With just voice and guitar\, Rowena’s songs hit with a rare kind of clarity – tender\, point-blank\, and unafraid of the quietest truths. \nFrom Melbourne to Auckland\, Wellington to Oakura and beyond\, the tour celebrates a body of work that holds space rather than demands attention\, tracing heartbreak\, estrangement\, and the knottier growing pains of adulthood with candid poetic lyricism. \nSince debuting in 2018\, Rowena has amassed over 10 million streams\, earned airplay across triple j\, Double J and Unearthed\, and toured extensively across Australia\, the UK\, Europe\, the USA and Canada\, supporting artists including Folk Bitch Trio\, Holy Holy\, Ball Park Music\, Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey. Her 2024 debut album\, Senseless Acts of Beauty\, was praised by CLASH Magazine as “carefully etched indie folk” and shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize.\nExpect favourites\, new material\, and the kind of stillness you can feel in your chest.
