There’s a free afternoon of laid back live music on offer at Snells Beach in the New Year, when Auckland Council’s Music in Parks returns to Sunburst Reserve.
Leading the line-up is classic blues-rock trio BB and The Bullets playing vintage tracks by legends such as Albert King, BB King, Muddy Waters and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Brian Baker, ex The Makers, is on guitar and vocals, joined by Stuart Duncan on bass and Brad MacMillan on drums.
Also on stage will be Noise Play, a trio of experienced musicians led by guitarist, singer-songwriter, producer and podcaster Danny McCrum, who has worked with and supported many top artists including Eric Clapton, Tommy Emmanuel, John Mayer and the John Butler Trio.
Noise Play promises a mix of rock, funk and jazz and pop, with Dan Antunovich on bass and vocals and Jasper de Roos on drums.
Finally, versatile duo Chet and Melissa O’Connell, performing as Chet & Mel, will be doing a set of crowd-pleasing covers and contemporary songs, from classic rock to country and pop.
A council spokesperson says Music in Parks will be a family friendly event.
“We suggest you bring a picnic to enjoy. Bring your family and friends, and don’t forget a water bottle.”
The show starts at 1pm on Sunday, January 12 and runs until 4pm at the reserve off Sunburst Avenue.
