SUMMARY:Whangateau Folk: Club night with Dusty Lands
DESCRIPTION:Dusty Lands are an acoustic folk quartet based in Whangarei. Blending American folk with their unique Northland campfire style\, Dusty Lands invites you to join them for an evening of luscious harmonies\, soulful songwriting\, banjos\, mandolins and resonators. \nThe genesis of the band began with Val and Leah Land\, mother and daughter\, from their roots in the Hokianga where they have been singing round the fire as long as they can remember – hymns\, kapa haka\, waiata\, folk\, pop and more. The last ten years have seen them performing as two thirds of the trio Harmony Couch in slots at folk clubs\, ceilidhs\, Irish pub sessions\, pop-up folk gatherings and the Auckland Folk Festival. \nGary Smyth\, tugboat captain and one of the greatest songwriters to emerge from Northland\, then joined them on stage. Gary is currently working on his debut album inspired by artists like Gregory Alan Isakov and Mandolin Orange. \nRounding out the quartet is Gary’s (distant) cousin\, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Dusty Burnell. Winner of the Tui Folk Award twice as a member of both T-Bone and The Frank Burkitt Band\, Dusty is a familiar face on stages throughout Aotearoa. \nDoors open at 6:45. Floor singers first half.

SUMMARY:Penni Feather & Stan Jagger @ Rafters Music Club
DESCRIPTION:Known for her soulful interpretations and vocal range\, Penni has performed in a variety of genres\, but is always drawn back to folk and acoustic – particularly blues and English trad. Penni has recently made a return to the folk scene after a few years’ absence. Some of you will remember her folk-punk trio Siren (part of the Auckland Acoustics collective) back in the day. She has recorded with Mike Harding\, Kath Tait and Mahinaarangi Tocker\, guested at several NZ folk festivals\, and toured the North Island extensively in the 2010s in an Americana duo. In the last couple of years she has appeared at the inaugural Raglan Blues Festival\, had a one-woman show in the Hamilton Arts Festival\, and toured the local folk and house concert circuit in a double bill with WilkieMac.Seeing many of her song choices in the last year or two appeared to resonate with current issues\, she decided to lean into this theme and has been researching protest songs old and new. Penni now has a feisty collection of such numbers running from the mid 17th century to the 2020s. This Rafters spot will include selections from contemporary folk and her original songs\, along with a few of these protest folk-songs (yes\, there will be choruses to join in on!).Penni will be accompanied by guitarist Stan Jagger. In the early 2000s Stan was sideman to folk guitarist/songwriter Chris Thompson\, but as a stalwart of Hamilton’s indie music scene he’s more usually found playing everything from surf guitar\, to dreampop\, to Eastern European gypsy music. He’s starting to get this folk music bug though!ProgrammeThe first half of the evening brings musicians old and new to warm us up before supper and our main guest/s. See Graham at the door if you want to perform\, but you will need to be there before the 8pm start.

SUMMARY:Music at Midday: Mark Laurent & Brenda Liddiard
DESCRIPTION:Mark and Brenda present an eclectic mix of material that can be ‘pin drop’ delicate\, or sound like a full band! They sometimes pepper their sets with short bursts of poetry and stories of a road well travelled. \nMark Laurent plays the blues like his life depends on it. His guitar is just about as expressive as his vocals. It confirms the guitar hero status he earned several decades ago when his professional music career kicked off in the 1970s. \nBrenda Liddiard has a voice born of true folk\, protest and alt-country sentiments. Brenda has been influenced by English and American acoustic music and found her niche as a songwriter during her involvement with environmental and anti-nuclear issues in the 70’s and 80’s. Her album\, Box of Memories\, was a finalist in the 2013 Tui Awards for Best Folk Album. \nFree entry

SUMMARY:Gregory Alan Isakov @ Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre\, Aotea Centre
DESCRIPTION:GRAMMY-nominated singer\, songwriter and musician Gregory Alan Isakov returns to New Zealand for his second tour performing in an intimate acoustic format. The shows will offer audiences a special opportunity to experience stripped-down acoustic arrangements of favourites from Isakov’s full-length studio albums including his most recent\, the acclaimed Appaloosa Bones\, Evening Machines\, The Weatherman\, This Empty Northern Hemisphere\, and That Sea\, the Gambler. Isakov will be joined by musicians and friends throughout the performance. \nBeloved by his devoted community of fans and critics alike\, Isakov has garnered over 1 billion streams to date. Of his most recent record\, Appaloosa Bones\, the Associated Press praised\, “His new songs are relentlessly majestic\, a kind of musical morphine\,” while Paste declared\, “he’s continuing to make expertly-tooled music…it’s reliably beautiful and starkly self-possessed throughout.” Additionally\, Isakov collaborated on recently released songs with Noah Kahan\, Shovels & Rope\, Nathaniel Rateliff and Jeremiah Fraites of The Lumineers. \nBorn in Johannesburg\, South Africa and raised in Philadelphia\, Isakov now calls Colorado home. When he isn’t on the road\, he spends much of his time writing and recording songs in his barn studio\, as well as running Starling Farm (his farm in Boulder County).
