Bic Runga will be performing with a full band on her
three-date New Zealand tour, where the first half of the show will celebrate
the 20th anniversary of
Drive, the second half featuring hits, favourites and
her stellar guests. Bic's super-talented bandmates are Cass Mitchell - Bass
(
Tiny Ruins); Tom Healy - Guitars (
Tiny Ruins); Kody Nielson - Drums (
Silicon);
Bic Runga - guitar, keys and vocals.
But wait! There's more! Bic is also collaborating with Miss Crabb for her tour
merchandise, as well as her stage attire. Stay tuned for more news about this
and the fantastic designs... (I know - can this
get any better?)
Asti Loren - 19-year-old
Christchurch-born singer-songwriter - has been travelling the world and taking
it by storm. Brand ambassador for Trelise Cooper, Psychedelic Rose songcrafter,
cameo appearance actor Asti Loren has a mini album in the works, and will be
joining Bic onstage for a duet at the Isaac Theatre Royal, Friday 20th October.
Multi-award winning
Aaradhna is an amazing force, a heralded songwriter, a soulful voice that
delivers a gorgeous lyrical ride. She is graciously pushing the boundaries of
time and space to start her own headline tour of Australia the day after she
sings a duet with Bic. Aaradhna will appear with Bic at the Civic Theatre on
Thursday, 2nd November.
Estère has given TEDx
talks; toured South Korea, Africa and conquered Europe; and continually,
excitingly pushes creative boundaries. The Empress of Electric Blue Witch Hop
will sing a duet with Bic at Wellington's Opera House on Friday, 3rd November.
((Shout out: Estère's new album,
My Design (Part 1), drops this Friday!!))
Having just completed his
music directorship of this year's APRA Awards, Shayne Carter will be speeding up from
