Bob and Emily bring their deep musical connection to the Kauaeranga Valley for a rare concert together, playing their favourite songs and tunes collected over years of playing at festivals, stages and late into the night at kitchen tables.
This is a concert not to be missed.
Based in Wellington, Bob is one of NZ's best known folk songwriters. His songs have been covered by artists in New Zealand, Australia, the UK and USA. NZ Musician magazine compared his songwriting to Bruce Springsteen and Mark Knopfler; the Dominion Post likened him to Jackson Browne and James Taylor. A guitarist, he is known for both his open-tuned acoustic fingerstyle style and electric guitar playing. His latest album, released in June 2024, is “Lost Stars”, an extended release on CD and download features new recordings and rarities, with Emily on violin and piano.
From Whangarei, Emily is a virtuoso violinist inspired by the Scottish tradition and the modern trad movement. Classically trained, she is infinitely adaptable with her gorgeous stylings and fiery tune playing and the perfect foil for Bob's lyrical songs.
Don't miss this rare intimate concert from two of New Zealand's finest.
