SOLD OUT!

Australia’s premier bluesman embarks on his first ever full length tour of New Zealand!

Renowned for his electrifying live shows, Ash Grunwald has inspired a generation to hit the road in an old van to ‘surf by day jam by night’.

The festival favourite brings a high energy, vibrant live show with stacks of guitars and foot stomping blues. Part troubadour, part storyteller - Ash has been selling out shows all over the world!

Don’t miss this chance to see live blues music at it’s finest!

Enshrined by Australian folklore, live on stage, Grunwald rocks the house yet touches the soul, serving a tsunami of dance, beats, roots, bass ‘n’ blues. He has supported legends James Brown, The Black Keys, Jack Johnson, Xavier Rudd, and Keith Urban, among
numerous others, and played sold out festivals across Europe, Japan, and North
America.

With six Australian Top-50 albums to his credit, alongside five ARIA and four AIR Award Nominations, two APRA Awards, and gong for Best International Act at the LA Music Critic Awards in 2014, Grunwald is cast in bronze among Australia’s most successful blues musicians.

‘I’m Gorgeous’ and ‘Gold and Blue’ Winter Tour 2025

In June and July, dream pop luminaries French for Rabbits are going back to back with the compelling Te Whanganui-a-Tara based songwriter Michael Llewellyn for a winter tour celebrating new work. On the tour the two singer-songwriters and their bands will be performing two sets followed by songs together.

Dream-pop luminaries French for Rabbits return to the stage in full band formation for the first time in a year to celebrate psychedelic new single ‘Gold and Blue’ which was written in early 2024 at the APRA songhubs alongside French for Rabbits’ long-time collaborator Jol Mulholland (producer on ‘The Overflow’) and Georgia Lines. It is due out in June ahead of the tour.

“The song feels like walking through a tunnel and coming out the other side a changed person”.

Following the departure of the bands guitarist last year, they will be joined by Sam Taylor (Anthonie Tonnon, Nadia Reid) for these dates, alongside Brooke Singer (vocals, keys, guitar), Hikurangi Schaverien-Kaa (drums), Phoebe Johnson (bass) and Penelope Esplin (keys, vocal).

Known for his raw storytelling and evocative poetics, Michael Llewellyn is a dynamic and captivating artist. Following the successful release of his debut record Oh My Darling, he is now excited to share and perform new music from his latest project, I'm Gorgeous. “The record is an ever-swirling story about confronting the many masks we find buried within our own reflection,” says Michael. “I'm Gorgeous reminds me that beyond the shadows, the grief, and the pain of life, there is always an opening—there are always people, love, and peace.”

Michael is touring with his full band: Hikurangi Shaverian-Kaa on drums, Phoebe Johnson on bass, Isabella Smith on vocals and percussion, and Arran Cargill-Brown on keys and guitar—together bringing a rich immersive live experience to the stage.
