Music News - Announcing The Acoustic Church Tour with Dragon
12 September 2013 - 0 Comments
The Acoustic Church tour sees one of New Zealand’s most loved bands Dragon return to New Zealand to perform for the first time ever, a series of special acoustic gigs in November.
Dragon are a band who have never shied away from their history, instead they mark their experiences and milestones by celebrating them with audiences far and wide.
With this tour Dragon are revisiting a part of their musical history that made them the band they are today. The current line up Todd Hunter (bass), Mark Williams (lead vocals / acoustic guitar), Pete Drummond (drums) and Bruce Reid (electric guitar) are looking forward to New Zealand hearing re-worked acoustic renditions of their big hits.
“Playing our songs acoustically is an excuse to revisit our songs with a different musical mindset,” says founding member Todd Hunter. “It’s not about whipping up the crowd so much as it is about the interplay between instruments and giving the harmonies a chance to breathe.”
With an infectious raft of hits such as April Sun in Cuba, Are You Old Enough, Still in Love With You, Rain, Young Years and Dreams of Ordinary Men Dragon are bringing with them a collection of acoustic instruments for this tour, from mandolins to BanSitars to guitar-leles for the very special performances in New Zealand’s beautiful church venues.
The tour kicks off in Napier on November 13th touring the length of the country and finishing up in Wellington on November 23rd.
Tickets for all shows are on sale from Monday September 23rd from Ticketmaster http://www.ticketmaster.co.nz/Dragon-tickets/artist/744574 (0800 111 999) and http://www.acousticchurchtour.co.nz/ . Presale available from 9am September 18th.
