Following the buzz (which is still buzzing) around their debut album Dreaming Over You, Tamaki Makaurau quintet The Loving Arms return to Big Fan on June 3 for a special one night only show with acclaimed songstress Jan Hellriegel.

The Loving Arms serve up a distinctly Antipodean take on alt-country-soul, and their audiences revel in it. Dreaming Over You was released in March this year, and has been warmly received, to say the least. The next single from the album is Still Need Your Love on Friday May 26th; the song is described by Graham Reid as 'entrancing'.

To celebrate the single's release, The Loving Arms will perform as an expanded 6-piece with legendary lap steel player John Segovia joining them on stage. Segovia has contributed his distinctive sound to numerous noteworthy records, by everyone from the Axemen to Shaft, from Don McGlashan to Kendall Elise.

Also gracing the stage will be Jan Hellriegel, opening the night with a solo set of songs from her acclaimed album Sportsman of the Year, plus favourites from her impressive back catalogue.

For a taste of The Loving Arms' live power, take a listen to their superb set from Jesse Mulligan Afternoons, Friday Live on RNZ.

This promises to be a night of superb songcraft and emotionally powerful performances by two of Auckland’s classiest acts. Tickets $25 from UTR.
