SUMMARY:Dusty Lands @ AKL Bluegrass Club
DESCRIPTION:Dusty Lands is an acoustic folk quartet based in Whangārei. Blending American folk with their unique Northland campfire style\, Dusty Lands invites you to join them at their first ever performance for an evening of luscious harmonies\, soulful songwriting\, banjos\, mandolins and resonators. \nMother and daughter Val and Leah Land make up two-thirds of the trio Harmony Couch. From their roots in the Hokianga 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 slots at folk clubs\, ceilidhs\, Irish pub sessions\, Pop-up Folk and the Auckland Folk Festival. \nThey are joined onstage by tug boat captain and one of the greatest songwriters to emerge from Northland\, Gary Smyth who is currently working on his debut album inspired by artists like Gregory Alan Isakov and Mandolin Orange. Rounding out the quartet is his (distant) \ncousin\, 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.

SUMMARY:Doug Robertson @ Auckland Bluegrass Club
DESCRIPTION:Doug Robertson has been playing music professionally as a hired gun on Auckland’s Jazz\, Rock and Folk scenes since 2015. His skill with a 6-string guitar is matched by his inventiveness as an improviser\, flowing like a juggler in trance\, where the trick has no sleeve. Doug’s musical journey has made him an initiate of a wide variety of musical traditions\, from Stoner Rock and Doom Metal to Gypsy Jazz\, Indian Classical Music\, Bluegrass\, Folk\, Pop and Blues. His love of stringed instruments has seen his playing style develop in a way that blends technique and tonality from one instrument and genre to the next. \nThere will be floor spots in the first half for members and Doug will play the second half.

SUMMARY:Hannah Morrell @ Auckland Bluegrass Club
DESCRIPTION:Hannah Morrell is originally from Lutruwita/Tasmania and has travelled the world in folk\, punk\, and folk-punk bands for the past 15 years\, before following her heart and landing in Aotearoa. Hannah’s refreshing take on folk comes from honest reflections from her life and experiences. Most recently she has supported John Craigie and Beans on Toast\, and played violin with Fables\, Greta O’Leary\, The Dead Maggies (Aus)\, and Claire Anne Taylor (Aus). Hannah’s sense of humour combined with her rollicking singalong banjo originals are not to be missed. Backing her for this performance will be Chris Dent (of Albi & the Wolves) on guitar and “doo-wops”. \nPete Parnham will be emceeing for the night\, and will wrangle those talented folks who would like to share a couple of songs in the first half.  Promises to be a great night all round!

SUMMARY:George Jackson & Brad Kolodner
DESCRIPTION:George Jackson is a Nashville-based fiddle player and the 2022 IBMA Instrumentalist Of The Year Momentum Award Winner\, who performs as a band leader and fiddler for hire with artists such as The Jacob Jolliff Band\, Jake Blount\, Tall Poppy String Band\, The Local Trio\, Front Country\, Peter Rowan\, Missy Raines\, Charm City Junction and others. Born in New Zealand\, George grew up in a musical family and first heard bluegrass music around the age of 14\, immediately falling in love with the style he started trying to work out how to play it from recordings and from mentors in New Zealand. Moving to Australia as a 16-year-old\, he won the Australian National Bluegrass Championship on fiddle three times and toured the country with his bluegrass band\, “The Company”\, playing all the major folk festivals on the Australian circuit. As a resident of Nashville and the USA from 2016\, George has released three albums of fiddle tunes\, “Time and Place” in 2019 and “Hair & Hide” in 2021 and most recently “George Jackson’s Local Trio” with Eli Broxham and Frank Evans in 2023. He was awarded first place in the Mike Auldridge tune composition award by the DC bluegrass union in both 2019 and 2021 for his tunes “Chapel Hill Deer Stalk” and “Neighbor Mike” respectively. \nBaltimore-based clawhammer banjoist Brad Kolodner represents the next generation of Old-Time musicians pushing the boundaries of the tradition into uncharted territory. Regarded for his delicate touch\, expressive style\, and original compositions\, Kolodner has rapidly gained national attention for his unique approach to the banjo. He regularly performs across the country in a duo with his father Ken Kolodner\, a world renowned hammered dulcimer player and with the acoustic roots quartet Charm City Junction. Off the stage\, he is an acclaimed teacher\, award-winning radio broadcaster for Folk Alley and Bluegrass Country Radio\, jam leader\, festival organizer\, community builder and ambassador for Old-Time and Bluegrass music.
