With the weather getting warmer, what better to do than head up North
for a long weekend of sunshine & reggae/roots vibes. Well we may not
be able to rely on the weather, but we can rely on Cornerstone Roots
to launch us into an early summer with a ‘Labour Weekend Bash’
just North of Auckland.

The 8-piece reggae/roots group from Whaingaroa, Aotearoa formed in
2001 and have just released their second full-length album ‘Free
Yourself’. Their 15 date album release tour saw them sell out shows
around the North Island and no doubt, Northland will be no different.

With contemporary message orientated lyrics & catchy riffs, the
Corners have been building a solid fan base and a reputation for
creating a timeless vibe at their live shows. Fans are either working
up a sweat dancing up a storm, or bugging out to the more chilled
vibes. A typical live performance will showcase a variety of styles
and moods from a rhythmic syncopated groove to a bass driven onslaught.

In the past the band have opened for Jamaican legends Toots and the
Maytals, Michael Rose with Sly n Robbie in Noumea, Burning Spear, Lee
Scratch Perry & the Mad Professor & Jimmy Cliff. Festivals played
include SoundSplash, Alpine Unity, Kaikoura Roots, Rhythm & Vines,
Destinations, Best of Reggae Noumea, World Expo Japan, Grey Lynn Park
Festival, Phat Outdoors, Queenscliff, Byron Bay Bluesfest, Apollo
Bay, Kuranda Reggaefest, the 95bFM Summer Series, One Love and the
Parihaka Peace Festival.

Stay tuned – details of a South Island tour soon to be announced.
