Albi & The Wolves are back this summer with a string of sizzling shows across New Zealand after a smashing month spent playing 14 dates all over Australia. The award winning indie folk/Americana trio have honed their stage and song writing skills in the last two years and have a stack of new songs to share with old and new fans alike. If you are unfamiliar Albi & The Wolves they consist of acoustic guitar, electric violin, double bass, a stomp and three voices. The proud albino frontman is Chris Dent, a.k.a. Albi, a showman and soulful vocalist, he’s joined by virtuoso players Pascal Roggen and Micheal Young on violin and double bass.

They’ve spent two months of the year touring so far and that doesn’t include individual shows, so this may make 2022 the bands busiest year to date! One of those was their Australian stint mentioned above, the other was hitting 21 rural towns with the support of Arts On Tour in May. It’s probably needless to say then that this is a hard working outfit but if you don’t believe it they’ve also spent over a month working on an upcoming project they are excited to announce in the new year.

The name Albi & The Wolves comes from a nickname Chris picked up in school as he has albinism, a feature everyone is proud of. The quirky trio celebrates this, and each band member's individuality, through their stories, songs, and musical influences.  From pub parties to dynamic and contemporary folk, the band has come a long way in their 8 year lifespan - come find out more at one of the following shows this summer. You won’t be disappointed.
