Their performance mesmerises audiences through the intricacy of the musical interplay\, the propulsive energy of their melodies\, the excitement of their rhythms\, and the overall interconnectedness of all the performers on stage.

SUMMARY:ALBI & THE WOLVES
DESCRIPTION:Award winning folk troubadours Albi & The Wolves have signed with Fresh Music Booking (Poland) to debut in Europe and the United Kingdom next year. But they need your help. So\, they are doing what they do best by hitting the road for 17\, that’s right 17\, shows up and down the country. Big and small. Warkworth to Dunedin. It’s an incredible opportunity for the band\, and you can be a part of it by simply spreading the word and showing up to the Fun-Raiser Tour. \nAlbi & The Wolves rebel against AI\, as for them music and life is all about being present in the moment\, so leave your phone at home and enjoy something real. Chris Dent\, the proud albino frontman\, leads the band. His visual impairment and striking appearance do not detract at all from his command of the audience or the strength of his voice. Pascal Roggen is renowned for his skill on the violin\, and the physicality of his performance. It is not every day that you see someone run across the room while playing stunningly at the same time\, but he’ll do it at almost every show. Micheal Young and Hannah De Koster somehow bind the energy together with slick grooves or thunderous train beats on double bass and drums. Together they have one of the most uplifting and joyous live performances you can see right now. \nThe show a vessel for relatable alternative folk songs. Songs of love\, life\, and laughing when no matter what you do\, sometimes things go terribly wrong. \nAlbi & The Wolves have won Best Folk Artist for their debut album One Eye Open\, have collaborated with EDM giants Mt Eden Dubstep\, have jammed with Sir Dave Dobbyn in the Radio Hauraki studio\, performed at WOMAD NZ\, played on Stewert Island\, written music for Tami Neilson and have been to shy too play it to her\, performed live on Cook Islands Television News\, took a 12 person crew on the road for their Light After The Dark album launch and so much more. \nThis is their call for support! Let’s help Albi & The Wolves share their fiery take on folk with the rest of the world! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.undertheradar.co.nz/ticket/29731/The-Fun-Raiser-Tour-with-Albi-And-The-Wolves.utr

SUMMARY:Lawrence Arabia
DESCRIPTION:It’s been six years since he last released an album and\, like Richard Prebble before him\, Lawrence Arabia’s been thinking. \nWhen songwriters think\, often the result is songs. It’s time to bring out some of these new thought babies from the writing suite and expose them to the light; let them photosynthesise and become real and alive in the world. \nThe Silver Scroll\, Taite and Tūī winning artist brings his engaging show of (new and old) songs and talk\, accompanied by guitar and keys\, to Hokitika’s Regent Theatre.

SUMMARY:Red Heavens
DESCRIPTION:Red Heavens \n\nFrom Stromboli to D’Urville Island\,\n\n\nMartine Baanvinger\, from the solo shows ‘Solitude’ and ‘Aperture’\, brings another powerful\, dynamic and passionate solo show to the stage. ‘Red Heavens’ portrays the true story of Angelina Moleta\, an Italian pioneering immigrant on D’Urville Island\, whose fate is intertwined with the forces of nature and her deep connection with Wetekia Ruruku Elkington\, a high-born Māori woman. Growing up on the active volcanic island of Stromboli\, she is betrothed to her cousin who brings her\, in the year 1906\, to the even more remote D’Urville Island in the Marlborough Sounds. Through hardship and an unlikely friendship\, she grows into womanhood and motherhood. This bitter and beautiful tale is inspired by the book Angelina by New Zealand author Gerard Hindmarsh who wrote the book about his grandmother.\n\n\n‘Red Heavens’ has successfully toured over 30 shows throughout New Zealand in 2024 with Arts on Tour. Now the show will tour one more time around the south island.\n\n\n\nTickets from : https://events.humanitix.com/red-heavens-yws3uwhk\n\n\nor cash at the door\n\n\n\nReviews from audiences around New Zealand:\n\n\n“Martine is one of the most highly accomplished producers and performers in the country. Every solo show has been a hit from ‘Solitude’ to ‘Aperture’ about Ans Westra\, and the recent ‘Red Heavens.” Steve Thomas – Arts on Tour Aotearoa NZ\n\n\n“Martine’s exceptional portrayal of my great-grandmother\, Angelina Moleta\, left me in tears so many times. What an incredibly moving performance by such a talented actress. Red Heavens is touring the country now\, so if you see it in a town or city near you\, it’s a must-see!” Nina Hindmarsh\n\n\n“Martine’s show took me through 90 minutes of profoundly deep emotions – from sorrow to laughter\, from anguish to delight. She is going from strength to strength as a performer\, and she is working with beautiful material.” Charlotte Squire\, writer and musician.\n\n\n“Martine is so clever to have created such an incredible masterpiece and her ability to portray it all in such a simplistic yet engaging setting was honestly awe inspiring. My Mum said it was “world class” (and she has seen a fair few plays over the years!).” – Sunneva Stocker\n\n\n“Martines performance makes you feel as if you’ve transported into a really good book.. I was captivated from start to finish\, this woman is a true artiste\, I’ve never known one person to hold my attention for 90 minutes in such a profound way.” Claire French\, Wonder-Full\n\n

SUMMARY:Mai Te Uira - Tiki Taane
DESCRIPTION:Mai Te Uira – Tiki Taane – Hokitika’s Regent Theatre\nOne of New Zealand’s best known musicians\, producers\, and innovators\, Tiki Taane (Ngāti Maniapoto) and multidisciplinary artist Kereama Taepa (Te Arawa\, Te Āti Awa) have joined forces to merge their two worlds together to create a brand new performance experience – Mai Te Uira. \nTiki Taane (Ngāti Maniapoto)\, vocals\, guitar & taonga puoro\nKereama Taepa (Te Arawa\, Te Āti Awa)\, multidisciplinary artist \nTo much acclaim\, Mai Te Uira was premiered in Koraunui Stokes Valley in 2023\, and is grounded in a karakia that references the atua and the whakapapa of our art forms and explores how innovation can be transformative when we open our minds to new ways of thinking. \nTold through the stories of three atua – Te Uira\, the atua of lightning and new connections like technology\, digital culture\, and cyberspace; Tānemahuta\, a creator himself\, providing us with our own capability and capacity to create; and Hine-te-Iwaiwa\, whose strength we seek when searching for knowledge to give\, receive\, and connect – this creative collaboration of music and digital animation reflects the transmission of knowledge and cements ancestral relationships. \nCreated to be performed within community spaces\, Mai Te Uira will be presented for local schools and community groups during the day and ticketed audiences at night. \nThis creative collaboration is presented as a result of a unique partnership between The Dowse Art Museum and Chamber Music New Zealand.
