Popular folk group Albi & The Wolves will return to the Whangateau Hall on Friday, November 3.
The show will be a double bill with Looking For Alaska – Hamilton’s pop folk duo of Amy Maynard and Aaron Gott – also appearing on the programme.
Amy and Aaron, who met at music school in 2012, launched Looking For Alaska two years ago and have since created a collection of original material, ranging from thigh-slapping, foot-stomping, folk sing-a-longs to poignant melancholic ballads. Their music is described as being rooted in country-style guitar, coupled with intimate harmonies.
Looking For Alaska’s debut album, released in October last year, spent five weeks on the NZ album chart and was a finalist for the Auckland Live Best Independent Debut Album Award at the 2017 Taite Music Prize.
Albi & The Wolves – Pascal Roggen on fiddle, Chris Dent on guitar and Michael Young on double bass – are no strangers to audiences at Whangateau. They draw from a wide range of music genres, from swing and bluegrass to soul, R&B and rock. They released their debut album One Eye Open last December.
Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start. Tickets $10.
