SOJØURN set to thrill in Leigh

SOJØURN

SOJØURN will bring their east coast blend of psych-surf rock and reggae dub to Leigh Sawmill Cafe and Mangawhai Tavern with back-to-back shows this month. 

Promoter Tony Baker says the six-piece band had a “hissing summer”, playing shows and festivals across the North Island, and lockdown gave them an opportunity to write a bunch of new songs.

“After a stint back in the studio in May, the boys are back and fired up for some live shows,” he says.   
Joining SOJØURN at both shows is Auckland dub/loop master Leighton Fairlie, performing a blend of dub, roots, hip hop, drum and bass, and acoustic.  

MC for the night will be DJ SuLu (Daniel Weetman of The Black Seeds) playing funk, reggae, ska, Afrobeat and Hip Hop.  

Showtimes: Leigh Sawmill Café,  Saturday, July 4, 8pm; Mangawhai Tavern, Friday, July 10, 8.30pm. Early Bird tickets, undertheradar.co.nz
