Kiwi variety on East FM, Saturday from high noon... She'll Be Right...

Phil from Farm Cove

With Waitangi Day almost here, it’ll be a full roster of Kiwi music with features also on the NZ Trio, The Mons Whaler, and Jack Robertson, on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, midday to 4pm (NZ time, Feb 3) on East FM.

The award-winning and acclaimed NZ Trio – Ashley Brown on cello, Somi Kim on piano, and Liu-Yi Retallick on violin – are collaborating with Kenji Bunch, Tabea Squire, and Paul Schoenfield, in their Summer Series – Groove Box, playing Auckland concerts at Howick’s Uxbridge Arts and Culture on Friday, February 16, and at Pah Homestead in Hillsborough on Sunday, February 18.

We’ll be talking live to Ashley Brown at 12.30pm about the NZ Trio and what will undoubtedly be dynamic and inspiring music performances.

The NZ Trio press department says: ‘Prepare to be whirled away in this toe-tapping journey through quirky rhythms, vibrant city nightlife, and the colourful spectrum of jazz. Kenji Bunch's rhythmic Groovebox captures the essence of New York City between dusk and dawn; NZ composer Tabea Squire leads a strangely off-beat dance with an “upbeat owl”; Paul Schoenfield’s jazzy romp through a Minneapolis steakhouse.’

More information about NZ Trio (He Taonga Wairere) is at nztrio.com... including for tickets, or see uxbridge.org.nz...

The Mons Whaler, the Taranaki alt-swamp-blues band featured on She’ll Be Right in October, have a new “spellbinding” new single out, Blood, ahead of their debut LP release next month.

Blackout Music says: ‘A sublime tune imbued with a deeply-felt and haunting melancholia, Blood is a deep-cut rolling groove featuring a beguiling steel guitar, feather-light piano, and gloriously harmonious backing vocals - all melding to warmly elevate an authentic blues-soaked vocal.

‘In essence, Blood is a song from the heart about whānau, the dynamic multi-layers of the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions that bind us from our past, our present, and into our future. Referencing the cyclical nature of our upbringings, it connects all that we learn from our parents and wider familial experiences, and how this is reflected in the way we choose to parent ourselves. It also comments on the hurt we collectively feel for each other when we are going through tough times.’

The Mons Whaler are described as “an innately chilled outfit who deliver a spine-tingling fusion of coolly controlled blues, rock and soul. With their signature warm neo-vintage sound of swampy alt-blues, tight rhythm section, and velvet vocals, Hemi Coates (vocals / guitar), Andre Peri (percussion / backing vocals), Phil Hoskin (bass guitar / backing vocals) and Courtnay Low (keys / lead guitar / backing vocals) are turning heads and generating a serious buzz both in live circles and across the music industry.”

Jack Robertson, a talented emerging East Auckland singer-songwriter, who has also appeared live on SBR last year, has a cool new single out, Bittersweet, and we’ll play that and other tracks by him, too. He’s planning on releasing his first album this year.

East FM is East Auckland’s fair-dinkum community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.

She’ll Be Right - it’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. And providing a platform for NZ music and performing artists to exhibit their skills. Ka pai. – PJ
