The New Zealand folk trio Turkey The Bird started their nationwide album release tour on the South Island this week to celebrate the release of their sophomore album When Turkeys Fly.

After a very successful, chart topping debut album release tour in 2021, they are back with an array of new quirky songs packed into an energetic, lively and humorous live show.

The first week of their nationwide release tour will include shows in the following places:

Thursday 14th April Le Cafe in Picton

Friday 15th April Secret show in Lincoln

Saturday 16th April A rolling stone in Christchurch

Sunday 17th April Grand Hotel in Akaroa

Monday 18th April Music down by the River Kaiapoi

Tuesday 19th April Old Lodge Theatre Hokitika

Wednesday 20th April Last Resort Karamea

Thursday 21st April Murchison Theatre

Turkey The Bird will remind you of the famous Margarita cocktail infused with a hint of Simon & Garfunkel, 2 ounces of Mumford and Sons, a splash of banjo and served on ice on a sunny day. Catchy folk songs with stunning rich melodies and effortless smooth lyrics. Songs that tell uplifting stories about love and life.

Hailing from the New Zealand left coast town New Plymouth, this uplifting band will hit you with beautiful three part harmonies and toe tapping rhythms. The bearded trio features Andre Manella from Switzerland on guitar, bass and percussion, Adrian Whelan from Ireland on guitar, mandolin, bass and spoons, and Sol Bear Coulton, the token kiwi, on Banjo and slide guitar.

"injects hoedown-showdown fun, fun, fun and the harmonies shine like diamonds."
- Paul Cook, Joyzine UK

"and this is plain brilliant."

“I am not going to lie, this is my new favourite band of 2021."
- Chris Chick, Muzic.net.nz
