Fresh off the boat (literally), Turkey The Bird are returning to their natural breeding grounds of Taranaki this weekend to play 2 shows. After a successful South Island leg of their tour the Turkey's are thrilled to bring home a brand new show to play in front of their home crowd on Friday 21st April at the Lakeside Playhouse in Opunake and on Saturday 22nd April at the 4th Wall Theatre in New Plymouth featuring special guest Krissy Jackson on fiddle.
New Zealand's folk trio 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.
