Skin & Bone at the Old Lodge Theatre
2024-07-14 19:00 - 21:00 (Pacific/Auckland) | The Old Lodge Theatre, 11 Revell Street, Hokitika, Westland, 7810, New Zealand
Old Lodge Theatre, July 14, 7pmTickets available from humanitixSkin & Bone: A Blend of Old and New in Dunedin’s Music SceneAlbum available now: Last Bus to BrockvilleSkin & Bone are a five piece acoustic swing band from Ōtepoti, Dunedin. Formed relatively recently,they are nevertherless a product of some very longstanding musical friendships. Difficult to pigeonhole, a substantial portion of their repertoire is 1930’s style swing, and they are popular in theirhometown as an energetic dance band who will always pack the dance floor. In addition, they have asizeable number of original tunes, that tend toward acoustic rock, and contemporary folk musicfrom Aotearoa. The band has recently released their first album ‘Last Bus to Brockville’ featuring acollection of these original tunes together with a sampling of that old style swing. The band alsopride themselves on close harmony vocals from three lead singers.Skin & Bone areEmily Sterk – clarinetAnna Bowen – fiddle, mandolin and voiceMike Moroney – guitar and voiceJohn Dodd – bass and voiceSteve (Huddy) Hudson – drums and voiceMike and John had performed together for over 30 years in the iconic folk band The Chaps, that undertook 3 tours of Europe, many tours of NZ, and released 3 albums before disbanding. Annajoined this group in its latter days, having already been working in a duo with Mike (Catgut and Steel) for many years. When Catgut and Steel started to develop their repertoire toward a swing soundthey pulled John back into their mix, and he brought with him his favourite drummer Huddy from his rock’n’roll band the Whirling Eddys (another band of longetivity, having entertained Dunedinaudiences since the mid nineties). Huddy has an innate grasp of feel and with Moroney’s so solid guitar chunk and the walking bass lines, this band truly swings. Anna is a gifted fiddler and alsocrucial to the band’s groove, and to complement this they wished for another solo instrument, clarinet specifically, and discovered the wonderful Emily hiding out in the Dunedin Symphony Orchestra. The clarinet/fiddle mix makes our sound distinctive, and when Anna moves over to the mandolin it only makes the rhythm more driving.With their infectious energy, impressive musical pedigree, and captivating blend of styles, Skin & Bone is a band you won’t want to miss.If you wish to read further, here’s a short profile of each musician.Arriving in Dunedin around the turn of the century, Anna immediately came to the attention of a wide range of local musicians through her inventive busking (with fiddle and puppets). While playing in a range of folk-oriented bands she managed to study and attain a teaching degree, at the same time learning mandolin and raising three young children. Not having enough to occupy her, she joined the Pioneer Pog ‘n’ Scroggin Bush Band (where she played with both John and Mike), which eventually folded and gave way to the duo Catgut & Steel, which still endures as the ceilidh band of choice around Otago and Southland.Emily has always admired ‘real musicians who can make stuff up’ but has spent most of her life playing notes someone else wrote. After completing a Bachelor of Music with Honours and a Master of Music in clarinet performance, she joined the Dunedin Symphony Orchestra as a clarinettist and also began teaching at the University of Otago and Logan Park High School. Now, more than 20 years later, Emily is still passionate about performing with the orchestra and teaching, but she has also finally found the courage to join some ‘real musicians’ as well.Huddy joined The Kal-Q-Lated Risk in the early 70s, appearing on their first album. He and his bass playing brother Chris joined the westward drift to Australia in the mid 70’s, where they eventually became a rhythm section for hire, working with such Aussie legends as Stevie Wright, Glenn Shorrock and many others. He was a part of the 80s/90s rockabilly/western swing trend, touring with the Flying Emus and supporting Dale Watson. He and Chris were rhythm section for rock’n’roll showband the Comets, dance crowd legends and backing band to the Stars of Yesteryear. Returning to Aotearoa in the early 2000’s, he was nabbed by the Oxo Cubans, tapped on the shoulder by the Whirling Eddys, subsequently recording and gigging with a wide range of Dunedin musicians. He has a cowbell and he is not afraid to use it Veteran folk musician and occasional rocker, playing solo and in a duo with Anna (Catgut & Steel), in addition to a number of memorable units including the Pioneer Pog ‘n’ Scroggin Bush Band and The Chaps. He has been a sound engineer for most of that time (over 40 years) too. Mike plays all manner of guitars and guitar styles as well as mandolin, banjo, and is a keen session fiddler. He is a founding member of the Dunedin Scottish Fiddle Orchestra. He was recently given the title of Musical Director of the Dunedin Burns Club and is still trying to figure out what this means. When his daughter joined the swing dance movement, he was obliged to steer his repertoire in that direction.John is best known as a bass player and vocalist frequently performing in any one of several groups in and around Dunedin. This has included the Chaps, the Whirling Eddys, Delgirl, the Oxo Cubans, the Spaghettis, The Ratz, the Pog Band, as a soloist and in a duo with John Egenes. He toured USA with the Donna Dean Band and spent much time playing with Midge Marsden’s touring group in the 1980’s. He has recently retired from a long held post as HOD of Music at Logan Park High School. He has worked as a session musician on many albums, and has been in the band of the MLT Songwriting Awards/Tui Country Music awards, since the inception of the event.

Donna Dean with Dodd and Egenes: Butterflies and Bees Tour
2024-08-05 19:30 - 21:30 (Pacific/Auckland) | The Old Lodge Theatre, 11 Revell Street, Hokitika, Westland, 7810, New Zealand
“Not many artists have the imaginations of a Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. Or the creative lunacy of a John Prine, Randy Newman or Tom Waits.” ~ John ApiceShe’s an artist not to be missed. A velvet voice with something to say. A songwriter’s songwriter. New Zealand’s Donna Dean has gone about the business of making her music over the years, winning multiple APRA and Tui awards for her songwriting and record production, recording and performing with the likes of Willie Nelson, Kasey Chambers, Jimmy Webb, Paul Kelly, and Don McLean, and writing the title track to Rhonda Vincent’s 2010 Grammy nominated bluegrass album – “Destination Life”Donna’s new album, “Kisses & Other Things” features instrumental work by Dunedin bassist John Dodd, a longtime stalwart of New Zealand music. Dodd has worked with an elite group of A-List artists over the years. Also in the lineup is John Egenes, a go-to multi-instrumentalist who fills the role of producer for Donna’s recordings. The new project features vocals by New Zealand singers Liv Cochrane, Kylie Price, and Anna Bowen, and with American songwriter and multiple Grammy nominee Eliza Gilkyson.Most artists wait a lifetime to write one as good as this. Her music sparkles and sparkles and stays with you even when it’s not playing anymore. Donna Dean is far closer to the traditions of an Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, Rhonda Vincent, Mary Chapin Carpenter… The proof is in the music.~ No Depression Magazine, USAExperience her for yourself. Not just another singer songwriter with a pretty voice.Donna Dean is the real deal.Dodd & Egenes, Professional MusiciansIn addition to being Donna Dean’s touring band, partners in crime John Dodd and John Egenes also drive the bus, act as roadies, and serve as the opening act. As Egenes puts it, “If they don’t rush us, we work cheaper”, and as Dodd points out, “When you come to see a Donna Dean show, you don’t have to pay extra to see Dodd & Egenes, Professional Musicians.” The two hail from the Dunedin area and serve up their own brand of homegrown original tunes, along with the occasional cowboy poem, a few tall tales, and some outright lies.

BIOGRAPHY
Growing up in the Bega Valley on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, Australia the story goes that the young singer-songwriter and one of a kind guitar virtuoso first picked up his instrument of choice as a 5-year-old following in the footsteps of a musical father. He began writing songs at 12, training classically throughout his teens and performing wherever he could, honing his craft and developing the dynamite live show that he is renowned for today. At 18 he finished school, turned professional and hit the road without looking back.
The following 15 years have seen him independently release 7 studio albums, tour relentlessly around the globe, play some of the biggest festivals under the sun and share stages with the likes of Tommy Emmanuel, INXS, John Butler, Lucinda Williams, Ani DiFranco, Judy Collins and Rodrigo y Gabriela.
He has been described as “the finest guitar player of this generation”, “a leading light in acoustic music” and “a performer that must be seen to be believed” and and from in July & August 2024 he will be touring all over New Zealand!
WHAT THE PRESS SAY..
“The word Prodigy seems to entirely fall short of this soft-spoken young man’s skills, he coaxes sounds and melodies out of his instrument that literally drop jaws.” The Calgary Herald, CANADA
“Today I saw the future of Folk – Festival goers flocking in the thousands towards the main stage to witness a young musical phenomenon from Australia dish out an absolute show-stopper.” The Firefly Column, USA
“Daniel Champagne is a crossroads. Fusing the strong traditions of Blues, Folk and other roots art with pop showmanship and admirable lyrical ability. I firmly believe that he will become an ambassador for roots music in a time where it desperately needs representation.” The Indie Blender, CANADA
“reinventing roots guitar” Rhythms Magazine, AUSTRALIA
“Watching Daniel Champagne perform is a once in a lifetime experience. He is a true prodigy that plays like no one else could possibly play unless they spent at least two lifetimes studying the art.” BW Review, NEW ZEALAND
“Daniel Champagne exudes a natural ease on stage, as he sings poignant lyrics and beautifully crafted melodies that invariably whisk the heart up with grand romanticism. Coupled with an exhilarating guitar talent that transcends mere acoustic playing to replicate a whole band, Champagne is just magical” Themusic.com.au, AUSTRALIA
“You feel as if he just invented the instrument yesterday and was discovering its possibilities afresh” Ted Gioia (American jazz critic and music historian)

Salmonella Dub SoundSystem backstory
The Salmonella Dub SoundSystem officially began 25 years ago – playing their new dub plates from Dreadzone and Mad Professor on a tour Salmonella Dub was managing for Pitch Black’s debut album playing new releases and remixes at dance party festivals with dubplate album launch tours in the stripped back dancefloor friendly version of the live band.
From humble beginnings promoting and playing after parties, the Salmonella Dub SoundSystem developed into a powerhouse live dance act across the NZ & Oz festival and club circuit. More recently, Te Reo Māori Soul Funk Diva Whirimako Black started writing with Andrew after she joined the band for their New Zealand Symphony Orchestra in 2008.
