Revered for their brilliant
live performances and superb musicianship, the John Butler Trio are one of the
most successful Australian bands of the current era and are returning to New
Zealand for a one-off show at the stunning Church Road Winery in the Hawkes Bay
for Good Friday 2018.
The multi-award winning
Blues and Roots act are one of those rare acts who have managed to successfully
straddle across mainstream and alternative releasing a consistent stream of
chart-busting tunes. Shaping the way independent music is released and received
in Australia they have graced the stage of just about every major festival on
the global circuit, including our very own Rhythm and Vines in 2009.
Their captivating and dynamic live performances continue to see them grow in
stature and popularity by doing what they do best, touring their socks off! In
2014 the trio’s most recent album
Flesh & Blood took out yet another
accolade - the Aria Award for Best Blues and Roots Album.
The band are a constant on the world touring circuit, their avid fans can
expect a new studio album to be released early in 2018. Previous performances
from John Butler Trio in New Zealand include the Rhythm and Vines festival in
2009, Winery Tour in 2011, and a sold-out Powerstation show in 2014.
The performance at Church Road Winery (one of New Zealand’s oldest wineries)
will go down as one of many memorable performances at the picturesque venue,
with the likes of musical legends James Taylor, Jack Johnson, Ben Harper and
more having performed there over the years.
Napier’s Mayor Bill Dalton says he is delighted to welcome yet another top act
to the winery in 2018.
“This
council is committed to event support – we all reap the benefits when a great
act like the John Butler Trio chooses Napier as its host city. It’s certainly
very exciting to be welcoming them here and we know Hawkes Bay will impress
the band, and all who come to see them, with its warm hospitality.”People can register now to win access to discounted presale tickets starting
