Jose Gonzalez With The Nairobi Trio, Rhian Sheehan, Module, The Haints of Dean Hall and The Ragamuffin Children

Thursday 10 January 2008 -Peregrine, Queenstown

Jose Gonzalez is a Swedish-born singer-songwriter of Argentinean descent whose debut album, 'Veneer (Gold+ sales in New Zealand) is a stunning collection of subdued acoustic folk music stamped with his trademark sound of a solo classical guitar and soft melodic vocals. His latest release In our Nature has been met with enormous praise, across the globe.
He is best known in Australasia for the song Heartbeats, which is used by Sony Bravia for a commercial that tracks more than a quarter of a million coloured bouncing balls as they are released throughout the streets of San Francisco.

Gonzalez's sensual and sensitive vocals blend with his gifted classical guitar style to recall underground folk favorites such as Nick Drake, Elliott Smith, Hayden, and Mark Kozelek. His work, although mostly original, does include acoustic covers of such hits as "Heartbeats" by his fellow Swedes The Knife, "Love Will Tear Us Apart", by Joy Division, "Hand On Your Heart" by Kylie Minogue and "Teardrop" by Massive Attack.

The Nairobi Trio
Since their inception in 1989, Nairobi Trio have become New Zealand's favourite jazz band, touring regularly throughout the world, appearing at major festivals in New Zealand, the UK, Europe, Australia and Asia. Now in their 18th year together, Nairobi Trio are more passionate about their music than ever. They are a must-see act and regularly amaze at festivals all over the world. Their performance is described as contagious and expressive, with much of it spontaneously improvised.

Rhian Sheehan
Rhian Sheehan has released 3 albums internationally. His recent pursuits have been focussed on writing music for film, movie trailers, television commercials, documentaries and various audiovisual installations. Rhian has also been involved as a co-collaborator in New Zealand synth-pop band The Blush Response.

Module
Module draws on his strong classical music theory background and his live-band experience to produce an organic style of electronica, that is played - and not programmed. Module has performed as a musician in The Black Seeds, Fly My Pretties, Rhombus and with fellow Peregrine performer Rhian Sheehan.

Haints of Dean Hall
Haint is the term used to describe a ghostly steam rising off the road, often mistaken to be a ghost. Dean Hall is the old road hall Kathryn (vocals) and Stephen (guitar) imagined their latest recording to have taken place. Their haunting, lugubrious tones promise to complement the headline act, and the surroundings of Peregrine, perfectly.

Ragamuffin Children
Brooke Singer and Anita Clark formed The Ragamuffin Children in 2006 and have already played an impressive number of shows, including support for Goldenhorse and a concert at the Canterbury Folk Festival with the songstress Chris While. Recently, Brooke and Anita began working with Jody Lloyd from She'll Be Right Records, for the release of their debut album entitled 'Werecat Lullabies'. Their soulful, melodic folk is filled with charm.
