Katikati's first twilight concert of the 2015 summer series is on this Saturday – and promises to deliver an unforgettable night of entertainment.

The Tina Cross Band will rock Haiku Reserve from 6pm, with local performer 14-year-old Caitlin Merriman the night's supporting act.

Kiwi singer, performer and entertainer Tina Cross and her band are going to rock Katikati's Haiku Reserve this Saturday.

Tina, along with keyboardist Barbara Griffin, guitarist Neil Watson and two of New Zealand's finest singers, Leon Wharekura and Sharon Emirali, will take the stage offering music from the 1960s through to 2014, including songs by The Rolling Stones, Blondie, The Pointer Sisters, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, plus a couple of Tina Cross originals.

Spokesperson Jenni says the singer, performer and entertainer has been in the music industry four decades – and will offer a stellar night of entertainment for the whole family.

'Tina is a pop princess, song contest winner and recording artist-turned-musical theatre star and most recently, singer-songwriter.

'She's an incredibly versatile and dynamic entertainer, who has performed worldwide and headlined TV specials and a series, both at TVNZ and BBC,” says Jenni.

Meanwhile, for Caitlin, a Katikati College student, the show will be her first in front of such a big crowd.

'She recently won the college's 2014 talent quest and is the daughter of Karen Merriman, who sang in Kiwi television show ‘Stars in their Eyes' a few years ago.”

Jenni says Caitlin's been singing for about five years, playing in rock bands.

'She plays the guitar and is learning more with music and song. She's looking forward to performing in front of a crowd and hopes one day to be a primary school teacher.”

The concert series is on Saturday nights for the first time, so if wet will be rescheduled for the next night.

BYO alcohol is permitted and people are encouraged to bring chairs and picnics for the night.
