Blues and laughter at final twilight gig

Katikati's final twilight concert for 2015 at the Haiku Reserve from 6pm tonight will be full of songs, costumes, jokes, lines and gimmicks from ‘The Blues Brothers' movie.

The NZ Blues Brothers Tribute show caps off the summer series, offering concert-goers an evening of quality blues entertainment with The NZ Blues Brothers 'on a Mission from God” on-stage.


The NZ Blues Brothers will offer quality music and laughs at Katikati's final 2015 twilight concert on tonight.

The ‘brothers' are Dean Heazlewood on guitar, lead vocals and harmonica, Tony Baird on bass guitar, Steve Tree on vocals, drums and percussion, Andrew Dixon on saxophone, vocals and keyboard, and Gary Morris on lead guitar and backing vocals.

Concerts spokesperson Jenni Wilson says the show has a full professional stage presentation, which 'is in demand in New Zealand, Australia and the South Pacific”.

'The night starts with The NZ Academy of Steel Pan playing as concert-goers arrive and get settled in,” says Jenni.

'We then have three young Katikati College students who will do solo numbers and then team up for a duet and possibly a trio number.”

Harmony Robinson-Grant, Louie Campbell and Tenneille Davies have been friends since age two – and will perform together tomorrow before The NZ Blues Brothers charm the night away.

'It's fitting they're all going to be performing at the same concert and are supporting each other with their rehearsals in preparation for the big night,” says Jenni.

Louie's been singing and playing music 'for as long as I can remember”. Playing base and acoustic guitar, he's part of Zuhana, which competed in Band Quest and Smokefree Rockquest in 2014.

Harmony got her first guitar at age three and has been hooked ever since. Now 13, she isn't shy of an audience and 'has a beautiful voice and the confidence to go with it”.

AndTenneille has always loved singing and just 18 months ago decided to learn to play the guitar 'and is now playing and singing whenever she gets the chance”.

The February 14 NZ Blues Brothers Tribute Show concert is at the Haiku Reserve, off Main St, Katikati. Gates open 5pm and show starts 6pm.

Gate tickets cost $20 each. Children under 15 entre for free with an adult. For concert updates, call the info line 07 549 3549 or see www.katikaticoncerts.co.nz
