bluesman Blind Boy
Paxton will open for Kitty
Daisy & Lewis in Auckland on February 11 at the
Powerstation.
The sibling act from the UK will are touring New Zealand in February with shows
at
Black Barnin Hawkes Bayon February 9,San Franin Wellingtonon February 10and the Powerstationin Aucklandon February 11. Blind Boy Paxtonis the living embodiment of the true blues in the 21st Century, but plays it
all in the true songster tradition - ragtime, hokum, old time, French reels,
Appalachian mountain music, blues and lots more.
The multi-instrumentalist has earned a reputation for transporting audiences
back to the 1920s and making them wish they could stay. He sings and plays the
banjo, guitar, piano, fiddle, harmonica, Cajun accordion, and the bones. He has
the eerie ability to transform traditional jazz, blues, folk, and country into
the here and now, and make it real.
It makes for the perfect accompaniment to Kitty Daisy & Lewis who are known for
their authentic take on vintage country and first-generation rhythm and blues.
Not to mention their energetic live performances and tight musicianship.
The trio is touring their fourth album SUPERSCOPE- a vibrant and lively record, which oozes old school blues, rock ’n’ roll and
soul. They will be joined on stage by their father Graeme Durham, new
bassist Popcorn,
and legendary octogenarian trumpeter Eddie
‘Tan Tan’ Thornton .
