fast paced, high energy folk music, presenting a set of traditional and well-loved bluegrass alongside their original material.</p> <p>That’s the official blurb.</p> <p>To Kiwi audiences they are the prodigy brothers whose fiery playing just seems to get better – and faster – in the short few years since they began.</p> <p>Laurence (18), Sam (16) and Nate (13) are largely self-taught multi-instrumentalists, and they have wowed audiences throughout New Zealand and Australia. They are supported on bass by mother Tracy (obscured in the photo above). As well as their dedication to creating unique roots-conscious music they love nothing more than heading to the workshop to craft their own instruments. <a href="/raffle/">Check out Laurence’s donated Kiwigrass raffle prize</a>.</p> <p>Okay, it’s our job to spruik bands on this site. So as proof that we are not making this up, watch the phone video below. It captures one of those Kiwigrass magic moments when professional Berklee degree holders Lonely Heart Strong Band meet on stage with Laurance and Sam Rhodes for a jam.</p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/k0cLo-sApUI" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <p><a href="http://www.rhodeworks.nz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-295" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif" alt="" width="60" height="60" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif 150w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo-100x100.gif 100w" sizes="(max-width: 60px) 100vw, 60px"></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rhodeworks" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-308" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/YT3.png" alt="" width="200" height="48"></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Rhodeworks-1067408153318187/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-282 size-full" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FBlogo.png" alt="" width="50" height="50"></a></p> </div> <!-- .entry-content --> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="/rhodeworks-2020/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2019-12-03T15:45:20+12:00">3 December 2019</time><time class="updated" datetime="2019-12-11T12:20:15+12:00">11 December 2019</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="/author/peter-parnham/">Peter Parnham</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="/category/2020-kiwi-acts/" rel="category tag">2020 Kiwi Acts</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> </article><!-- #post-3420 --> <article id="post-3438" class="post-3438 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-2020-kiwi-acts"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="/valley-bluegrass-2020/" rel="bookmark">Valley Bluegrass: Hard-driving South Island Bluegrass</a></h2> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="entry-content"> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-3441 size-full" src="/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Valley-Bluegrass.jpg" alt="Valley Bluegrass band" width="952" height="566" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Valley-Bluegrass.jpg 952w, /wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Valley-Bluegrass-300x178.jpg 300w, /wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Valley-Bluegrass-768x457.jpg 768w, /wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Valley-Bluegrass-350x208.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 952px) 100vw, 952px"></p> <h3>Valley Bluegrass (New Zealand)</h3> <p>Valley Bluegrass is Dunedin’s pre-eminent bluegrass outfit.</p> <p>Modelled on the great American bands in the style of Flatt and Scruggs, Valley Bluegrass play hard-driving rollicking bluegrass led by banjo, fiddle, guitar, upright bass with some occasional Dobro and mandolin.</p> <p>Playing close in to a single condenser microphone in the old style, Valley Bluegrass is both visually and harmonically a rich experience.</p> <p>Authentic Bluegrass, that’s the promise of Valley Bluegrass.</p> <p>Carola Dunbar, Robbie Stevens, Dave Colecough, Bevan Gardiner</p> <p>A Video of Valley Bluegrass from Kiwigrass 2019:<br> <iframe loading="lazy" width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GRt-eMmOblg" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer;

It is named after the Blue Grass Boys, the 1939–1996 band of Kentucky mandolin player and songwriter Bill Monroe, who is considered “the father of bluegrass”. It was further developed by musicians who played with him, including 5-string banjo player Earl Scruggs and guitarist Lester Flatt. It was then evolved by other musicians who admired the high-energy instrumental and vocal music Monroe’s group created, and who carried it on into new bands, some of which created subgenres of bluegrass.<br> Bluegrass is influenced by the music of Appalachia and other styles, including gospel and jazz <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluegrass_music" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">read more…</a></p> </div> <!-- .entry-content --> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="/what-is-bluegrass/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2018-08-27T23:06:31+12:00">27 August 2018</time><time class="updated" datetime="2019-12-17T12:06:56+12:00">17 December 2019</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="/author/peter-parnham/">Peter Parnham</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="/category/faq-kiwigrass-academy/" rel="category tag">FAQ Kiwigrass Academy</a>, <a href="/category/faq-kiwigrass-festival/" rel="category tag">FAQ Kiwigrass</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> </article><!-- #post-668 --> <article id="post-660" class="post-660 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-faq-kiwigrass-academy category-faq-kiwigrass-festival"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="/what-do-i-need-to-bring/" rel="bookmark">Can I camp at the festival?</a></h2> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="entry-content"> <p>There are 60 powered and 80 non-powered campsites at the venue, Lake Karapiro <a href="https://www.lakekarapiro.co.nz/page/accommodation/">Mighty River Domain.</a></p> <p><strong>What’s provided?</strong></p> <ul> <li>Two amenity blocks with toilets and showers</li> <li>A kitchen with two ovens, a single chest freezer, a double door fridge, a hot water unit and four sinks</li> <li>A laundry facility is located on site, laundry costs are $3 per load</li> <li>A dump station and plenty of water taps for refilling tanks</li> </ul> <p><strong>What do I need to bring?</strong></p> <p>Only basic camping facilities are provided.

Playing the old ‘hillbilly’ music of the Appalachian Mountains, their high energy homestead music evokes that old 78 bacon-frying sound no book-learning can give you. With Helena Faust on banjo/vocals, Philip Muollo on guitar, and Eddy Abraham on fiddle, they sing the songs of the pioneers, shotgun totin’ moonshiners and tub-thumping dance tunes.</p> <p>Helena’s enduring commitment to the Old-time music developed during her 10 years in West Virginia steeped in the local traditions and performing with the award winning band ‘The Raincrows.’ She carried a wealth of traditional material with her when she moved back to NZ in 2003. The group began to form in 2014 when Helena assembled support acts for a touring fiddler from the US. The band chose the name Cotton Daisy Backstep and have been playing concerts at local and regional venues around Wellington for the past five years, including cafes, folk clubs, festivals and fairs.</p> <p>This band goes beyond just being influenced by the old music; they have largely ignored modern tastes and reached back in time to create an old-world aesthetic. With Helena’s mountainy vocals heading the band, they bust out with wailing harmonies, driving old-timey rhythms, sparkling clawhammer banjo and scratchy old-time fiddle.</p> <p>Tub-thumping dance tunes, haunting ballads of the pioneers, tales of moonshiners and old gospels, Carter Family and Doc Watson songs are the staples of their repertoire. With their 1930s appearance and style audiences can expect a unique experience.</p> <p>“Cotton Daisy Backstep are the quintessential Old-Timey band not to be missed!” says Ebony Lamb (Eb and Sparrow)’, “Its the best of Appalachia with all the heart and soul of New Zealand, a real treat to the ears, so good you can’t sit down.” And Kim Bonnington (You Me Everybody) commented “Authenticity is at the heart of Cotton Daisy Backstep; not only will the music take you back in time but they create an entire experience of what it is to live, breathe and dance the old timey way.”</p> <p>This is the mountain roots of Americana and Bluegrass.</p> </div> <!-- .entry-content --> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="/cottondaisybackstep-2021/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2020-11-24T17:40:47+12:00">24 November 2020</time><time class="updated" datetime="2020-11-25T10:25:54+12:00">25 November 2020</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="/author/peter-parnham/">Peter Parnham</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="/category/2021-kiwigrass-acts/" rel="category tag">2021 Kiwigrass Acts</a>, <a href="/category/2021-kiwigrass-acts/2021-old-timey-acts/" rel="category tag">2021 Old Timey Acts</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> </article><!-- #post-3888 --> <article id="post-3417" class="post-3417 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-2020-kiwi-acts"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="/hot-diggity-bluegrass-band/" rel="bookmark">Hot Diggity: Looking good and playing even better</a></h2> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="entry-content"> <p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Hot-Diggity-Promo-Photo-2017-1mb.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-933 size-large" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Hot-Diggity-Promo-Photo-2017-1mb-e1575344478330-1024x535.jpg" alt="" width="660" height="345" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Hot-Diggity-Promo-Photo-2017-1mb-e1575344478330-1024x535.jpg 1024w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Hot-Diggity-Promo-Photo-2017-1mb-e1575344478330-350x183.jpg 350w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Hot-Diggity-Promo-Photo-2017-1mb-e1575344478330-300x157.jpg 300w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Hot-Diggity-Promo-Photo-2017-1mb-e1575344478330-768x401.jpg 768w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Hot-Diggity-Promo-Photo-2017-1mb-e1575344478330.jpg 1500w" sizes="(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px"></a></p> <h3>Hot Diggity Bluegrass Band (New Zealand)</h3> <p>When it come to band photos the blokey bands try, but Hot Diggity are way more photogenic. Could it be that they smile and laugh and generally give the air of real live fun?</p> <p>Hot Diggity is the only all female bluegrass band in New Zealand, but that is not why you should go see them at Kiwigrass. You should listen to them because they are one of the best bluegrass bands in New Zealand and as the photos imply, their shows are lots warm-hearted fun.</p> <p>They play original songs by Heather Carrigan (mandolin, guitar and vocals) and Deborah Mackenzie (guitar and vocals) along with plenty of bluegrass favourites. If you were not told who wrote these songs you would probably go home and Google them to see where they came from because they totally sound the part.</p> <p>Kiwigrass identity Jenine Abarbanel supplies bass and vocals, with Sue Drake on banjo and vocals and Krissy Jackson fiddle and vocals, combining to make a powerful five piece with a lively sound, hot chops, and tight harmonies.</p> <p><a href="http://hotdiggity.nz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-295" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif" alt="" width="60" height="60" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif 150w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo-100x100.gif 100w" sizes="(max-width: 60px) 100vw, 60px"></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwxeeM0BQktc6iJSrMlr2vg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-308" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/YT3.png" alt="" width="200" height="48"></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/HotDiggityBluegrassNZ/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-282 size-full" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FBlogo.png" alt="" width="50" height="50"></a></p> <p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/hot-diggity-bluegrass-nz" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-333" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/soundcloud-logo-2.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="57"></a></p> </div> <!-- .entry-content --> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="/hot-diggity-bluegrass-band/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2019-12-03T15:22:11+12:00">3 December 2019</time><time class="updated" datetime="2019-12-17T12:21:14+12:00">17 December 2019</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="/author/peter-parnham/">Peter Parnham</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="/category/2020-kiwi-acts/" rel="category tag">2020 Kiwi Acts</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> </article><!-- #post-3417 --> <article id="post-3806" class="post-3806 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-2021-kiwigrass-acts category-2021-bluegrass-acts"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="/2021-hamilton-county-bluegrass-band/" rel="bookmark">Hamilton County Bluegrass Band</a></h2> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="entry-content"> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-1225 size-full" src="/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Z70_2715.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="533" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Z70_2715.jpg 800w, /wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Z70_2715-350x233.jpg 350w, /wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Z70_2715-300x200.jpg 300w, /wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Z70_2715-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"></p> <p>The Hamilton County Bluegrass are quite simply the foundation on which New Zealand Bluegrass is built.</p> <div class="page-bio-intro">Hamilton County became overnight stars in New Zealand as the resident band on the NZBC’s The Country Touch in the late 1960s.

This versatile band plays a hard driving punchy style of bluegrass right through to heart melting slow waltzes. As well as striving for instrumental excellence the songs are infused with multipart harmony singing.</p> <p>Banjo picker extraordinaire <strong>Bryan Christianson will be one of the few musicians at Kiwigrass was at the original 1970 Banjo Picker’s Convention at Claudelands, Hamilton</strong> and that’s where he says he fell in love with the 5-string banjo.</p> <p>Bryan’s been involved in the music since then, playing in various bands with just about all the well-known names of the NZ Bluegrass scene, Peter Brocklehurst, Read Hudson, Graham Lovejoy, to name just a few. After a break of about 10 years (on and off) Bryan met up with Dave Warren and they began to pick a few tunes. At the Waharau Folk Festival in June 2003 they decided that having a band again might be fun.</p> <p>Micheal Young became obsessed with the guitar at the age of 18, inspired by the likes of James Taylor, Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Joe Walsh, Chet Atkins and the Beatles. His father used to drag him along to bluegrass festivals in the hills of the Missouri Ozarks and he gained an appreciation for the instrumental skills of the local pickers. While Micheal was never that moved by the old time bluegrass style, he was blown away by the (then) contemporary rock/jazz/blues/bluegrass fusion music coming from the likes of New Grass Revival, The Tony Rice Unit and The David Grisman Quartet. This simmered for years until moving to Auckland where he finally met a few other musicians who were both capable and willing to play in those styles. He has even started to gain an appreciation for the old time traditional bluegrass that the other band members love. They started jamming just for the joy of it, ended up doing a few gigs, and Wires & Wood was born. Micheal provides mandolin and lead vocals for Wires & Wood.</p> <p>Dave Warren was introduced to Bluegrass music at about age six, when his father (Tom Warren) heard “Dueling Banjos” on the radio, and decided that was the music for him! ! He had a guitar put in his hands by the time he was seven or so and remembers well the National Banjo pickers Conventions, Mike Seeger, Bill Clifton, HCBB, etc etc. Dave’s interest in Bluegrass at a playing level was rekindled around 1998 and on his move to Auckland in 2000 he met and played with many wonderful musicians and eventually became a part of the coalescence called “Wires & Wood”. Plays guitar & occasionally mandolin.</p> <p>Garry Trotman plays bass in Wires & Wood and is the newest member of the band. He has always been partial to trad country music, blues, folk and sub-genres, such as bluegrass, Cajun and western swing. Garry was previously in ‘The Terraplanes’ and ‘Southern Cross’ bluegrass groups with Bryan, and also played in a South Australian bluegrass band called ‘Highly Strung’.</p> <p>To help relieve some of the winter blues of 2003 a few Auckland based musicians began having a Friday night bluegrass oriented jam session. Word leaked out, someone asked us to perform at a charity event and a band was born. Since then we have performed at events and venues all over New Zealand, including the Auckland Folk Festival, the Wellington Folk Festival, the Whare Flat Music Festival in Dunedin, Canterbury Folk Festival, Wellington Bluegrass Society, Fight for Life, TV commercials, Music Mountain Matakana and local music clubs and events around the country. We are still refining the Wires & Wood sound and expanding our repertoire of what we call bluegrass music. Wires & Wood released their debut album “Over The Moon” in 2010. “Over The Moon” is the recipient of the RIANZ Tui Award for Best Folk Album 2010/11.</p> <p><a href="http://www.wiresandwood.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-295" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif" alt="" width="60" height="60" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif 150w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo-100x100.gif 100w" sizes="(max-width: 60px) 100vw, 60px"></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmlz1H33bp1li7V4skQTXPA" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-308" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/YT3.png" alt="" width="200" height="48"></a></p> <p> </p> </div> <!-- .entry-content --> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="/wires-wood-2021/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2020-11-18T16:01:21+12:00">18 November 2020</time><time class="updated" datetime="2020-11-18T16:28:25+12:00">18 November 2020</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="/author/peter-parnham/">Peter Parnham</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="/category/2021-kiwigrass-acts/" rel="category tag">2021 Kiwigrass Acts</a>, <a href="/category/2021-kiwigrass-acts/2021-bluegrass-acts/" rel="category tag">2021 Bluegrass Acts</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> </article><!-- #post-3829 --> <article id="post-279" class="post-279 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-guest-acts"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="/rhodeworks/" rel="bookmark">Rhodeworks (New Zealand)</a></h2> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="entry-content"> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-280" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Rhodeworks.jpg" alt="Rhodeworks" width="960" height="520" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Rhodeworks.jpg 960w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Rhodeworks-350x190.jpg 350w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Rhodeworks-300x163.jpg 300w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Rhodeworks-768x416.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px"></p> <p>RhodeWorks are an award-winning bluegrass folk band who play fast paced, high energy folk music, presenting a set of traditional and well-loved bluegrass alongside their original material.

Supplying the heartbeat, extra cheery smile, and third vocal part, is Cathy Dyer on bass.</p> <p>Like one of those old radio show taglines they are likely to chorus that they’re not happy until we’re happy, and it is hard to imagine any other outcome when you hear them perform.</p> <p>As it happens, they are genuine, made-in-America imports.</p> <p>MacKenzie hails from Southern California where he perfected his evocative, flowing, cross-picking style of guitar playing, influenced by legends such as Doc Watson and Tony Rice. In the 1970s he managed and performed at the famous McCabe’s music store on Pico Boulevard in Santa Monica before moving to New Zealand in the early 1980s.</p> <p>Peter Dyer’s roots are in Little Dixie, Missouri where his dad’s Virginian and Kentuckian ancestors date back to the early 19th century. Dyer is a guitarist and an accomplished songwriter with titles such as <em>Go Ahead and Cry</em>, and <em>Immigrants’ Song</em>, one of several that come with his distinctive high-mountain yodel.</p> <p>Michigan gave rise to Cathy Dyer’s accent, where she grew up learning classical violin, while on the side taking in that funky Motown groove. Peter and Cathy Dyer moved to New Zealand in 2004 and a few years later teamed up with MacKenzie to form the Downunderdogs.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=the+downunderdogs" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-308" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/YT3.png" alt="" width="200" height="48"></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/HankandDoc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-282 size-full" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FBlogo.png" alt="" width="50" height="50"></a></p> <p> </p> </div> <!-- .entry-content --> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="/downunderdogs-2020/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2019-12-02T21:33:20+12:00">2 December 2019</time><time class="updated" datetime="2019-12-13T11:52:32+12:00">13 December 2019</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="/author/peter-parnham/">Peter Parnham</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="/category/2020-kiwi-acts/" rel="category tag">2020 Kiwi Acts</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> </article><!-- #post-3354 --> <article id="post-244" class="post-244 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-guest-acts"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="/pipipickers/" rel="bookmark">The Pipi Pickers (New Zealand)</a></h2> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="entry-content"> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-245" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/PipiPickers-LR.jpg" alt="The Pipipickers" width="960" height="640" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/PipiPickers-LR.jpg 960w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/PipiPickers-LR-350x233.jpg 350w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/PipiPickers-LR-300x200.jpg 300w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/PipiPickers-LR-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px"></p> <p><em>“The best newgrass band in New Zealand … They always have an interesting and high quality show – doing songs no one else in the bluegrass world does.

This versatile band plays a hard driving punchy style of bluegrass right through to heart melting slow waltzes. As well as striving for instrumental excellence the songs are infused with multipart harmony singing.</p> <p>Banjo picker extraordinaire <strong>Bryan Christianson will be one of the few musicians at Kiwigrass was at the original 1970 Banjo Picker’s Convention at Claudelands, Hamilton</strong> and that’s where he says he fell in love with the 5-string banjo.</p> <p>Bryan’s been involved in the music since then, playing in various bands with just about all the well-known names of the NZ Bluegrass scene, Peter Brocklehurst, Read Hudson, Graham Lovejoy, to name just a few. After a break of about 10 years (on and off) Bryan met up with Dave Warren and they began to pick a few tunes. At the Waharau Folk Festival in June 2003 they decided that having a band again might be fun.</p> <p>Micheal Young became obsessed with the guitar at the age of 18, inspired by the likes of James Taylor, Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Joe Walsh, Chet Atkins and the Beatles. His father used to drag him along to bluegrass festivals in the hills of the Missouri Ozarks and he gained an appreciation for the instrumental skills of the local pickers. While Micheal was never that moved by the old time bluegrass style, he was blown away by the (then) contemporary rock/jazz/blues/bluegrass fusion music coming from the likes of New Grass Revival, The Tony Rice Unit and The David Grisman Quartet. This simmered for years until moving to Auckland where he finally met a few other musicians who were both capable and willing to play in those styles. He has even started to gain an appreciation for the old time traditional bluegrass that the other band members love. They started jamming just for the joy of it, ended up doing a few gigs, and Wires & Wood was born. Micheal provides mandolin and lead vocals for Wires & Wood.</p> <p>Dave Warren was introduced to Bluegrass music at about age six, when his father (Tom Warren) heard “Dueling Banjos” on the radio, and decided that was the music for him! ! He had a guitar put in his hands by the time he was seven or so and remembers well the National Banjo pickers Conventions, Mike Seeger, Bill Clifton, HCBB, etc etc. Dave’s interest in Bluegrass at a playing level was rekindled around 1998 and on his move to Auckland in 2000 he met and played with many wonderful musicians and eventually became a part of the coalescence called “Wires & Wood”. Plays guitar & occasionally mandolin.</p> <p>Garry Trotman plays bass in Wires & Wood and is the newest member of the band. He has always been partial to trad country music, blues, folk and sub-genres, such as bluegrass, Cajun and western swing. Garry was previously in ‘The Terraplanes’ and ‘Southern Cross’ bluegrass groups with Bryan, and also played in a South Australian bluegrass band called ‘Highly Strung’.</p> <p>To help relieve some of the winter blues of 2003 a few Auckland based musicians began having a Friday night bluegrass oriented jam session. Word leaked out, someone asked us to perform at a charity event and a band was born. Since then we have performed at events and venues all over New Zealand, including the Auckland Folk Festival, the Wellington Folk Festival, the Whare Flat Music Festival in Dunedin, Canterbury Folk Festival, Wellington Bluegrass Society, Fight for Life, TV commercials, Music Mountain Matakana and local music clubs and events around the country. We are still refining the Wires & Wood sound and expanding our repertoire of what we call bluegrass music. Wires & Wood released their debut album “Over The Moon” in 2010. “Over The Moon” is the recipient of the RIANZ Tui Award for Best Folk Album 2010/11.</p> <p><a href="http://www.wiresandwood.com/"

accurate Munroe genre.</p> <p>The authentic bluegrass is there alright, it’s just that other stuff somehow sneaks in, like bluegrassifcation of 60s songs, or genuine Cameron Bennett originals which have flair for capturing stories in a way that is both genuine Americana bluegrass and somehow could only be Kiwi.</p> <div style="margin-left: 1.5em;">John Olding – guitar, lead vocal<br> Colin Speir

They are supported on bass by mother Tracy (obscured in the photo above). As well as their dedication to creating unique roots-conscious music they love nothing more than heading to the workshop to craft their own instruments. <a href="/raffle/">Check out Laurence’s donated Kiwigrass raffle prize</a>.</p> <p>Okay, it’s our job to spruik bands on this site.

better venue in Waipa, a few minutes drive from Cambridge.</p> <p>As soon as we have more news, you’ll hear about it, but you can be confident there’s going to be a Kiwigrass Academy to help you and inspire you to higher things, and a Kiwigrass Festival that will build on last year’s winning combination of participation and performance.</p> <p>So mark it on your calendars now and book that annual

Never get bored at a Pipi Pickers show.” –</em><br> <em>Mike Kear, Music from Foggy Hollow </em></p> <p>The Pipis Pickers, know affectionately as the Pipis, don’t take prisoners, they get out there with contemporary and traditional hard-driving bluegrass that puts a smile on everyone’s face and infuses even the most dreadful murder ballads with a sense of joy and energy.</p> <p>The Pipis bring a love of the genre and a desire to share that love with as many people as possible. Out front is Jenine Abarbanel on bass and vocals while husband Nat Torkington is a standout New Zealand 5-string Scruggs-style banjo player, who is ably supported by his father Barry on guitar, and Garry Bigwood on mandolin.</p> <p>The Pipis have become favourites at New Zealand and Australian music festivals through their vibrant performances, open and inclusive jam sessions, and slow jam workshops. You’ll also recognise Jenine Abarbanel, Nat Torkington, and Barry Torkington as the folks we need to thank for starting the Kiwigrass festival.</p> <p><em>Pipis are a delicious edible shellfish gathered when the tide is out in around Whangateau and Leigh, the Pipi Pickers’ home town.</em></p> <p><a href="http://pipipickers.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-295" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif" alt="" width="60" height="60" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif 150w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo-100x100.gif 100w" sizes="(max-width: 60px) 100vw, 60px"></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=the+pipi+pickers" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-308" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/YT3.png" alt="" width="200" height="48"></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pipipickers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-282 size-full" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FBlogo.png" alt="" width="50" height="50"></a></p> </div> <!-- .entry-content --> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="/pipipickers-2021/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2019-12-03T16:29:59+12:00">3 December 2019</time><time class="updated" datetime="2020-11-18T15:57:06+12:00">18 November 2020</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="/author/peter-parnham/">Peter Parnham</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="/category/2021-kiwigrass-acts/" rel="category tag">2021 Kiwigrass Acts</a>, <a href="/category/2021-kiwigrass-acts/2021-bluegrass-acts/" rel="category tag">2021 Bluegrass Acts</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> </article><!-- #post-3436 --> <nav class="navigation pagination" aria-label="Posts"> <h2 class="screen-reader-text">Posts navigation</h2> <div class="nav-links"> <a class="prev page-numbers" href="/author/peter-parnham/page/4/">Previous page</a> <a class="page-numbers" href="/author/peter-parnham/"><span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>1</a> <span class="page-numbers dots">…</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="/author/peter-parnham/page/4/"><span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>4</a> <span aria-current="page" class="page-numbers current"><span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>5</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="/author/peter-parnham/page/6/"><span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>6</a> <span class="page-numbers dots">…</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="/author/peter-parnham/page/19/"><span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>19</a> <a class="next page-numbers" href="/author/peter-parnham/page/6/">Next page</a> </div> </nav> </main><!-- .site-main --> </section><!-- .content-area --> </div> <!-- .site-content --> <footer id="colophon" class="site-footer"> <div class="site-info"> <a class="privacy-policy-link" href="/privacy-policy/" rel="privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a><span role="separator" aria-hidden="true"></span> <a href="https://wordpress.org/" class="imprint"> Proudly powered by WordPress </a> </div> <!-- .site-info --> </footer><!-- .site-footer --> </div> <!-- .site --> </body> </html>PK ! /��[� [� peter-parnham/page/3/index.htmlnu �[��� <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en-NZ" class="no-js"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"> <link rel="profile" href="https://gmpg.org/xfn/11"> <link rel="pingback" href="/xmlrpc.php"> <script>(function(html){html.className = html.className.replace(/\bno-js\b/,'js')})(document.documentElement);</script> <title>Peter Parnham – Page 3 – Kiwigrass – NZ's own national bluegrass festival</title> <meta name="robots" content="max-image-preview:large"> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Kiwigrass - NZ's own national bluegrass festival » Feed" href="/feed/"> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Kiwigrass - NZ's own national bluegrass festival » Comments Feed" href="/comments/feed/"> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Kiwigrass - NZ's own national bluegrass festival » Posts by Peter Parnham Feed" href="/author/peter-parnham/feed/"> <script> window._wpemojiSettings = {"baseUrl":"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/72x72\/","ext":".png","svgUrl":"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/svg\/","svgExt":".svg","source":{"concatemoji":"http:\/\/www.kiwigrass.nz\/wp-includes\/js\/wp-emoji-release.min.js?ver=6.6.2"}}; /*!

Nourished by deep roots in the expansive canon of traditional American music, the band embodies the modern American condition — an understanding and reverence for the past that informs a push into the future. Members George Clements (guitar, vocals) Patrick M’Gonigle (fiddle, vocals) Charles Clements (bass, vocals) Matt Witler (mandolin) and Gabe Hirshfeld (banjo) bring together their own musical styles to create a sound greater than the sum of its parts.</p> <p>Combining soulful instrumental virtuosity with soaring three-part harmonies, their growing repertoire of original songs and compositions showcases not only their considerable talents, but a dedication to meaningful roots-conscious music.<br> Since their beginnings in 2012, The Lonely Heartstring Band has been on the rise and shows no sign of slowing down. With their 2015 IBMA Momentum Award and their 2016 release of their debut full-length album, <em>Deep Waters</em>, on Rounder Records, this band is an amazing addition to the Kiwigrass lineup.</p> <p><a href="http://www.lonelyheartstringband.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-295" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif" alt="" width="60" height="60" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif 150w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo-100x100.gif 100w" sizes="(max-width: 60px) 100vw, 60px"></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lonely+heartstrings+band" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-308" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/YT3.png" alt="" width="200" height="48"></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/LonelyHeartstringBand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-282 size-full" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FBlogo.png" alt="" width="50" height="50"></a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </div> <!-- .entry-content --> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="/lonely-heartstrings-are-returning-from-america/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2019-11-29T12:50:15+12:00">29 November 2019</time><time class="updated" datetime="2019-12-03T17:34:01+12:00">3 December 2019</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="/author/peter-parnham/">Peter Parnham</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="/category/2020-overseas-acts/" rel="category tag">2020 Overseas Acts</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> </article><!-- #post-3313 --> <article id="post-3320" class="post-3320 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-2020-overseas-acts"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="/winners-of-the-american-2019-freshgrass-band-to-star/" rel="bookmark">AJ Lee and Blue Summit: Winners of the American 2019 FreshGrass Band</a></h2> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="entry-content"> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3321" src="/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/AJ-Lee-Blue-summit.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="640" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/AJ-Lee-Blue-summit.jpg 960w, /wp-content/uploads/2019/11/AJ-Lee-Blue-summit-350x233.jpg 350w, /wp-content/uploads/2019/11/AJ-Lee-Blue-summit-300x200.jpg 300w, /wp-content/uploads/2019/11/AJ-Lee-Blue-summit-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px"></p> <h3><strong>AJ Lee and Blue Summit (US)</strong></h3> <p>“Could This Kid Be the Next Allison Krauss?” Mother Jones magazine asked about <strong>AJ Lee</strong> — and for good reason.</p> <p><strong>AJ Lee and Blue Summit (US)</strong>, are a bluegrass band led by singer, songwriter, and mandolinist AJ Lee and features Sullivan Tuttle (yes, Sully belongs to <em>that</em> family of Tuttles) on guitar and vocals, Jesse Fichman on guitar and vocals, and Chad Bowen on bass, singing sweet harmonies and sometimes singing lead on popular Grateful Dead tunes. This year, Jan Purat joined Blue Summit on fiddle, rounding out the band’s sound.</p> <p>The band has been the darling of the North Bay, California bluegrass scene since their first appearance in Santa Cruz. Drawing from influences such as swing, folk, blues, jazz, country, soul, and rock, their undeniable talent and insatiable passion for bluegrass harks back to traditional classics while remaining uniquely modern. Over the years, Blue Summit’s performed all around the US as well as in the UK, Ireland, France and their schedule includes a guest spot in New Zealand at the Kiwigrass bluegrass festival . They’ve accrued many devout followers and distinctions including the Freshgrass 2019 Band Contest Winner, IBMA 2019 Momentum Vocalist of the Year, 2nd Place at the 2019 Winfield Guitar Competition, and numerous awards in Northern California.</p> <p>In 2019, AJ Lee and Blue Summit came out with their debut album, <em>Like I Used To</em>, which consists entirely of AJ’s original songs. Equipped with these new songs and their archive of nostalgic tunes, they’ll continue playing to both familiar and new audiences, endearing themselves to the country and the world.</p> <p><a

miles.</p> <p>The <strong>Bluegrass Parkway bluegrass band</strong> is Australia’s longest serving bluegrass band, celebrating their 31st birthday in 2020.</p> <p>Bluegrass Parkway is all about the tradition of presenting bluegrass music in its most authentic form, performing around a single on-stage microphone, as was the norm for the pioneers of the genre during the 1940s.</p> <p>They have played at dozens of folk and country music festivals throughout Australia, New Zealand and the United States, and have been past favourites on the Australian-based Bluegrass Cruise.</p> <p>The Band features Paul Duff on mandolin, Maria Duff on bass, Wayne Perry on guitar, Mick O’Neill on banjo and this year Mick Patrick will be joining Bluegrass Parkway on fiddle.</p> <p>Bluegrass Parkway will share the skills and knowledge as instructors at Kiwigrass Academy and with workshops during the festival.</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bluegrass+parkway+band"><img

<p>Coolgrass (Australia) delight audiences with their hilarious take on bluegrass, and are favourites throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Although an unlikely origin for a bluegrass banjo player, New Zealand would offer BB her first introduction to the instrument, sparking a lifelong love and fascination. A world away from the heart of bluegrass, BB spent much of her childhood teaching herself the instrument, and through dedication and tenacity became New Zealand School of Music’s first banjo student. Inspired by her New Zealand predecessors, The Hamilton County Bluegrass Band, BB was always drawn to the five-piece full band, and after heading to America in 2012 she co-founded her current group, Mile Twelve. Immersing herself in the traditions of bluegrass and having studied jazz performance at university, BB’s banjo playing is an exciting synthesis of new and old ideas. “She demonstrates a command of the instrument, and plays with great rhythmic clarity both in the traditional and progressive realms. J.D. Crowe co-mingles with the future,” says Tony Trischka. Her euphoric energy and love of the genre are readily apparent in any of her live performances.</p> <p>Currently, BB lives in Cambridge, MA. Mile Twelve has won numerous IBMA awards, including 2020 New Artists of the Year and 2017 Momentum Band of the Year. BB won the 2015 Freshgrass Banjo contest and was a winner of the Steve Martin Banjo Prize in 2020.</p> <p>A member of the April Verch Band from 2016-2020, Alex has toured extensively both at home and internationally, including performances in 49 states and a number of countries including Canada, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Estonia, Australia and New Zealand. Alex’s musical interests as a youth were, shall we say, eclectic but he ultimately developed a love for acoustic and traditional music while attending Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. Graduating with a degree in Neurobiology in 2011, Alex returned to the vibrant Boston music scene, studying privately with Berklee School of Music’s ineffable John McGann</p> <p><a href="http://hotdiggity.nz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-295" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif" alt="" width="60" height="60" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif 150w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo-100x100.gif 100w" sizes="(max-width: 60px) 100vw, 60px" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwxeeM0BQktc6iJSrMlr2vg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-308" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/YT3.png" alt="" width="200" height="48" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/HotDiggityBluegrassNZ/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-282 size-full" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FBlogo.png" alt="" width="50" height="50" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/hot-diggity-bluegrass-nz" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-333" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/soundcloud-logo-2.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="57" /></a></p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Hot Diggity: there’s something special about this band</title> <link>/hot-diggity-bluegrass-band-2021-copy-copy/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Peter Parnham]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 20 Nov 2020 05:51:01 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[2021 Kiwigrass Acts]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2021 Bluegrass Acts]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">/hot-diggity-bluegrass-band-2021-copy-copy/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Hot Diggity Bluegrass Band (New Zealand) When it come to band photos the blokey bands try, but Hot Diggity are way more photogenic.

Southern Sky is self produced and features 11 songs and instrumentals all written and arranged by the band. Recorded with Bevan Galbraith at Bagnall Hill Recording Studios in the Waikato in October 2020, with mixing by Grammy Award winning Bluegrass master, Bil VornDick (USA). Southern Sky challenges the usual rhythms and chord patterns of traditional bluegrass to create songs that feature more complex and nuanced emotional subjects such as alienation and isolation, in addition to the staples of whiskey, love and loss. </p> <p> “Progressive bluegrass isn’t typically an accessible genre for people unfamiliar to acoustic music but this record is. It’s comfortable, relatable and full of musical charisma. The combination of musicians here headed by the formidable force of Sam and Laurence Frangos-Rhodes is fantastic and fits together beautifully. You, Me, Everybody’s sometimes rollicking album will transport you to New Zealand’s hills through an Americana lens and it’s delightful! Be sure to see them on tour too as their live show stacks up just as well.” Albi – Albi and the Wolves. </p> <p> Originally formed by brothers Laurence and Sam Frangos-Rhodes, (best known for their contributions to family band, RhodeWorks) You, Me, Everybody pushes the boundaries of what New Zealand knows of a genre that was formed on tradition and rules to create progressive bluegrass. While upbeat bangers are part of their repertoire, this is no pub band, but rather a collection of the best of New Zealand’s acoustic instrumentalists that are searching for a new, dynamic sound that showcases the best of Americana in Aotearoa. </p> <p> Referred to as New Zealand’s first Bluegrass Supergroup, the excitement around their inception saw them play their first live gig as openers for The Felice Brothers as part of the Americana fest at Auckland’s Tuning Fork. They recorded their EP a week later and in February 2020, You, Me, Everybody released their self-titled debut EP, which reached number 13 in the New Zealand album charts. </p> <p> Laurence not only plays but builds beautiful guitars and his songwriting crosses boundaries of effortless yet mature in the same breath. Sam oozes musicality; he’ll pick up a mandolin, a fiddle or the double bass in a nonchalant manner but his talent quietly shatters the illusion of his youth. In 2020, Sam and Laurence were chosen as two of 16 musicians aged under 22 to participate in the Savannah Music Festival’s Acoustic Music Seminar in Georgia, USA. The Festival was postponed due to covid and they hope to join in the seminar sometime in the future. </p> <p> Nat Torkington is the resident banjo player for the Pipi Pickers. He is constantly pushing his own and his banjo’s boundaries while also encouraging other musicians to explore and challenge the bluegrass form. James Geluk is a graduate of the NZ School of Music and most recently won a Tui for the Best NZ folk album for his work with the Frank Burkitt Band. A bass player who brings his jazz education to bluegrass, an audience member once declared James’ fingers to be like spiders as they travelled their way around his bass. Kim Bonnington has a heart of pure country. She’s as comfortable at the centre of stage as she is as a backing vocalist and is known for her work as a solo singer, one half of Kim and Dusty, and for providing harmonies for a range of NZ acts. </p> <p> Devil in a Bottle of Whiskey video: <a href="https://youtu.be/8ErVWZRwv_A">https://youtu.be/8ErVWZRwv_A</a> </p> <p> Website: <a href="http://www.yme.nz/">www.yme.nz</a> </p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Downunderdogs: at the bottom of the map and on top of the world</title> <link>/downunderdogs-2021/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Peter Parnham]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 18 Nov 2020 04:23:30 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[2021 Kiwigrass Acts]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2021 Bluegrass Adjacent Acts]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">/?p=3845</guid> <description><![CDATA[The Downunderdogs are Luthier pup Jack MacKenzie (left in photo), tall pup Peter Dyer, and smiley pup Cathy Dyer.

Playing the old ‘hillbilly’ music of the Appalachian Mountains, their high energy homestead music evokes that old 78 bacon-frying sound no book-learning can give you. With Helena Faust on banjo/vocals, Philip Muollo on guitar, and Eddy Abraham on fiddle, they sing the songs of the pioneers, shotgun totin’ moonshiners and tub-thumping dance tunes.</p> <p>Helena’s enduring commitment to the Old-time music developed during her 10 years in West Virginia steeped in the local traditions and performing with the award winning band ‘The Raincrows.’ She carried a wealth of traditional material with her when she moved back to NZ in 2003. The group began to form in 2014 when Helena assembled support acts for a touring fiddler from the US. The band chose the name Cotton Daisy Backstep and have been playing concerts at local and regional venues around Wellington for the past five years, including cafes, folk clubs, festivals and fairs.</p> <p>This band goes beyond just being influenced by the old music; they have largely ignored modern tastes and reached back in time to create an old-world aesthetic. With Helena’s mountainy vocals heading the band, they bust out with wailing harmonies, driving old-timey rhythms, sparkling clawhammer banjo and scratchy old-time fiddle.</p> <p>Tub-thumping dance tunes, haunting ballads of the pioneers, tales of moonshiners and old gospels, Carter Family and Doc Watson songs are the staples of their repertoire. With their 1930s appearance and style audiences can expect a unique experience.</p> <p>“Cotton Daisy Backstep are the quintessential Old-Timey band not to be missed!” says Ebony Lamb (Eb and Sparrow)’, “Its the best of Appalachia with all the heart and soul of New Zealand, a real treat to the ears, so good you can’t sit down.” And Kim Bonnington (You Me Everybody) commented “Authenticity is at the heart of Cotton Daisy Backstep; not only will the music take you back in time but they create an entire experience of what it is to live, breathe and dance the old timey way.”</p> <p>This is the mountain roots of Americana and Bluegrass.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Hot Diggity: Looking good and playing even better</title> <link>/hot-diggity-bluegrass-band/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Peter Parnham]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 03 Dec 2019 03:22:11 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[2020 Kiwi Acts]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">/hot-diggity-bluegrass-band-new-zealand-copy/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Hot Diggity Bluegrass Band (New Zealand) When it come to band photos the blokey bands try, but Hot Diggity are way more photogenic.

If you were not told who wrote these songs you would probably go home and Google them to see where they came from because they totally sound the part.</p> <p>Kiwigrass identity Jenine Abarbanel supplies bass and vocals, with Sue Drake on banjo and vocals and Krissy Jackson fiddle and vocals, combining to make a powerful five piece with a lively sound, hot chops, and tight harmonies.</p> <p><a href="http://hotdiggity.nz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-295" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif" alt="" width="60" height="60" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif 150w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo-100x100.gif 100w" sizes="(max-width: 60px) 100vw, 60px" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwxeeM0BQktc6iJSrMlr2vg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-308" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/YT3.png" alt="" width="200" height="48" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/HotDiggityBluegrassNZ/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-282 size-full" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FBlogo.png" alt="" width="50" height="50" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/hot-diggity-bluegrass-nz" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-333" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/soundcloud-logo-2.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="57" /></a></p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Hamilton County Bluegrass Band</title> <link>/2021-hamilton-county-bluegrass-band/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Peter Parnham]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 18 Nov 2020 03:23:40 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[2021 Kiwigrass Acts]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2021 Bluegrass Acts]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">/hamilton-county-bluegrass-band-copy/</guid> <description><![CDATA[The Hamilton County Bluegrass are quite simply the foundation on which New Zealand Bluegrass is built.

Nourished by deep roots in the expansive canon of traditional American music, the band embodies the modern American condition — an understanding and reverence for the past that informs a push into the future. Members George Clements (guitar, vocals) Patrick M’Gonigle (fiddle, vocals) Charles Clements (bass, vocals) Matt Witler (mandolin) and Gabe Hirshfeld (banjo) bring together their own musical styles to create a sound greater than the sum of its parts.</p> <p>Combining soulful instrumental virtuosity with soaring three-part harmonies, their growing repertoire of original songs and compositions showcases not only their considerable talents, but a dedication to meaningful roots-conscious music.<br /> Since their beginnings in 2012, The Lonely Heartstring Band has been on the rise and shows no sign of slowing down. With their 2015 IBMA Momentum Award and their 2016 release of their debut full-length album, <em>Deep Waters</em>, on Rounder Records, this band is an amazing addition to the Kiwigrass lineup.</p> <p><a href="http://www.lonelyheartstringband.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-295" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif" alt="" width="60" height="60" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif 150w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo-100x100.gif 100w" sizes="(max-width: 60px) 100vw, 60px" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lonely+heartstrings+band" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-308" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/YT3.png" alt="" width="200" height="48" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/LonelyHeartstringBand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-282 size-full" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FBlogo.png" alt="" width="50" height="50" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>AJ Lee and Blue Summit: Winners of the American 2019 FreshGrass Band</title> <link>/winners-of-the-american-2019-freshgrass-band-to-star/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Peter Parnham]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 29 Nov 2019 01:19:08 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[2020 Overseas Acts]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">/?p=3320</guid> <description><![CDATA[AJ Lee and Blue Summit (US) “Could This Kid Be the Next Allison Krauss?” Mother Jones magazine asked about AJ Lee — and for good reason.

This year, Jan Purat joined Blue Summit on fiddle, rounding out the band’s sound.</p> <p>The band has been the darling of the North Bay, California bluegrass scene since their first appearance in Santa Cruz. Drawing from influences such as swing, folk, blues, jazz, country, soul, and rock, their undeniable talent and insatiable passion for bluegrass harks back to traditional classics while remaining uniquely modern. Over the years, Blue Summit’s performed all around the US as well as in the UK, Ireland, France and their schedule includes a guest spot in New Zealand at the Kiwigrass bluegrass festival . They’ve accrued many devout followers and distinctions including the Freshgrass 2019 Band Contest Winner, IBMA 2019 Momentum Vocalist of the Year, 2nd Place at the 2019 Winfield Guitar Competition, and numerous awards in Northern California.</p> <p>In 2019, AJ Lee and Blue Summit came out with their debut album, <em>Like I Used To</em>, which consists entirely of AJ’s original songs. Equipped with these new songs and their archive of nostalgic tunes, they’ll continue playing to both familiar and new audiences, endearing themselves to the country and the world.</p> <p><a href="https://www.bluesummitmusic.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-295" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif" alt="" width="60" height="60" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif 150w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo-100x100.gif 100w" sizes="(max-width: 60px) 100vw, 60px" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=AJ+lee+and+blue+summit" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-308" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/YT3.png" alt="" width="200" height="48" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/BlueSummitmusic" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-282 size-full" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FBlogo.png" alt="" width="50" height="50" /></a></p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> </channel> </rss> PK !

Although an unlikely origin for a bluegrass banjo player, New Zealand would offer BB her first introduction to the instrument, sparking a lifelong love and fascination. A world away from the heart of bluegrass, BB spent much of her childhood teaching herself the instrument, and through dedication and tenacity became New Zealand School of Music’s first banjo student. Inspired by her New Zealand predecessors, The Hamilton County Bluegrass Band, BB was always drawn to the five-piece full band, and after heading to America in 2012 she co-founded her current group, Mile Twelve. Immersing herself in the traditions of bluegrass and having studied jazz performance at university, BB’s banjo playing is an exciting synthesis of new and old ideas. “She demonstrates a command of the instrument, and plays with great rhythmic clarity both in the traditional and progressive realms. J.D. Crowe co-mingles with the future,” says Tony Trischka. Her euphoric energy and love of the genre are readily apparent in any of her live performances.</p> <p>Currently, BB lives in Cambridge, MA. Mile Twelve has won numerous IBMA awards, including 2020 New Artists of the Year and 2017 Momentum Band of the Year. BB won the 2015 Freshgrass Banjo contest and was a winner of the Steve Martin Banjo Prize in 2020.</p> <p>A member of the April Verch Band from 2016-2020, Alex has toured extensively both at home and internationally, including performances in 49 states and a number of countries including Canada, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Estonia, Australia and New Zealand. Alex’s musical interests as a youth were, shall we say, eclectic but he ultimately developed a love for acoustic and traditional music while attending Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. Graduating with a degree in Neurobiology in 2011, Alex returned to the vibrant Boston music scene, studying privately with Berklee School of Music’s ineffable John McGann</p> <p><a href="http://hotdiggity.nz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-295" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif" alt="" width="60" height="60" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif 150w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo-100x100.gif 100w" sizes="(max-width: 60px) 100vw, 60px"></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwxeeM0BQktc6iJSrMlr2vg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-308" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/YT3.png" alt="" width="200" height="48"></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/HotDiggityBluegrassNZ/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-282 size-full" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FBlogo.png" alt="" width="50" height="50"></a></p> <p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/hot-diggity-bluegrass-nz" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-333" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/soundcloud-logo-2.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="57"></a></p> </div> <!-- .entry-content --> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="/alex-and-bb-2021/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2020-11-20T09:45:44+12:00">20 November 2020</time><time class="updated" datetime="2020-11-22T18:45:51+12:00">22 November 2020</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="/author/peter-parnham/">Peter Parnham</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="/category/2021-kiwigrass-acts/" rel="category tag">2021 Kiwigrass Acts</a>, <a href="/category/2021-kiwigrass-acts/2021-bluegrass-acts/" rel="category tag">2021 Bluegrass Acts</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> </article><!-- #post-3873 --> <article id="post-3878" class="post-3878 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-2021-kiwigrass-acts category-2021-bluegrass-acts"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="/hot-diggity-bluegrass-band-2021-copy-copy/" rel="bookmark">Hot Diggity: there’s something special about this band</a></h2> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="entry-content"> <p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Hot-Diggity-Promo-Photo-2017-1mb.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-933 size-large" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Hot-Diggity-Promo-Photo-2017-1mb-e1575344478330-1024x535.jpg" alt="" width="660" height="345" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Hot-Diggity-Promo-Photo-2017-1mb-e1575344478330-1024x535.jpg 1024w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Hot-Diggity-Promo-Photo-2017-1mb-e1575344478330-350x183.jpg 350w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Hot-Diggity-Promo-Photo-2017-1mb-e1575344478330-300x157.jpg 300w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Hot-Diggity-Promo-Photo-2017-1mb-e1575344478330-768x401.jpg 768w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Hot-Diggity-Promo-Photo-2017-1mb-e1575344478330.jpg 1500w" sizes="(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px"></a></p> <h3>Hot Diggity Bluegrass Band (New Zealand)</h3> <p>When it come to band photos the blokey bands try, but Hot Diggity are way more photogenic. Could it be that they smile and laugh and generally give the air of real live fun?</p> <p>Hot Diggity is the only all female bluegrass band in New Zealand, but that is not why you should go see them at Kiwigrass. You should listen to them because they are one of the best bluegrass bands in New Zealand and as the photos imply, their shows are lots warm-hearted fun.</p> <p>They play original songs by Heather Carrigan (mandolin, guitar and vocals) and Deborah Mackenzie (guitar and vocals) along with plenty of bluegrass favourites. If you were not told who wrote these songs you would probably go home and Google them to see where they came from because they totally sound the part.</p> <p>Kiwigrass identity Jenine Abarbanel supplies bass and vocals, with Sue Drake on banjo and vocals and Krissy Jackson fiddle and vocals, combining to make a powerful five piece with a lively sound, hot chops, and tight harmonies.</p> <p><a href="http://hotdiggity.nz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-295" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif" alt="" width="60" height="60" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif 150w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo-100x100.gif 100w" sizes="(max-width: 60px) 100vw, 60px"></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwxeeM0BQktc6iJSrMlr2vg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-308" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/YT3.png" alt="" width="200" height="48"></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/HotDiggityBluegrassNZ/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-282 size-full" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FBlogo.png" alt="" width="50" height="50"></a></p> <p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/hot-diggity-bluegrass-nz" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-333" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/soundcloud-logo-2.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="57"></a></p> </div> <!-- .entry-content --> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="/hot-diggity-bluegrass-band-2021-copy-copy/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2020-11-20T17:51:01+12:00">20 November 2020</time><time class="updated" datetime="2020-11-24T17:40:28+12:00">24 November 2020</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="/author/peter-parnham/">Peter Parnham</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="/category/2021-kiwigrass-acts/" rel="category tag">2021 Kiwigrass Acts</a>, <a href="/category/2021-kiwigrass-acts/2021-bluegrass-acts/" rel="category tag">2021 Bluegrass Acts</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> </article><!-- #post-3878 --> <article id="post-3833" class="post-3833 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-2021-kiwigrass-acts category-2021-bluegrass-acts"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="/you-me-everybody-2021/" rel="bookmark">You, Me, Everybody: Tui Award Finalists!</a></h2> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="entry-content"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="573" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/You-Me-Everybody-PRINT-2604-2-1024x573.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3942" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/You-Me-Everybody-PRINT-2604-2-1024x573.jpg 1024w, /wp-content/uploads/2020/12/You-Me-Everybody-PRINT-2604-2-300x168.jpg 300w, /wp-content/uploads/2020/12/You-Me-Everybody-PRINT-2604-2-768x429.jpg 768w, /wp-content/uploads/2020/12/You-Me-Everybody-PRINT-2604-2-350x196.jpg 350w, /wp-content/uploads/2020/12/You-Me-Everybody-PRINT-2604-2.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure> <blockquote> “Skilfully played and sung Americana, from a virtuoso ensemble that could hold its head up proudly in the company of such well-known artists of the genre as Alison Krauss and Dan Tyminski.” Ron Barbers, The Hook. </blockquote> <p> New Zealand’s progressive bluegrass supergroup, You, Me, Everybody, are coming to Kiwigrass as part of their nationwide tour to release their first full length album “Southern Sky”. </p> <p> On the back of their 2020 self titled debut EP which saw them named as finalists for Best NZ Folk Artist, 2021, You, Me, Everybody have gained national recognition for pushing boundaries to create their own form of New Zealand’s progressive bluegrass. Southern Sky is self produced and features 11 songs and instrumentals all written and arranged by the band. Recorded with Bevan Galbraith at Bagnall Hill Recording Studios in the Waikato in October 2020, with mixing by Grammy Award winning Bluegrass master, Bil VornDick (USA). Southern Sky challenges the usual rhythms and chord patterns of traditional bluegrass to create songs that feature more complex and nuanced emotional subjects such as alienation and isolation, in addition to the staples of whiskey, love and loss. </p> <p> “Progressive bluegrass isn’t typically an accessible genre for people unfamiliar to acoustic music but this record is. It’s comfortable, relatable and full of musical charisma. The combination of musicians here headed by the formidable force of Sam and Laurence Frangos-Rhodes is fantastic and fits together beautifully. You, Me, Everybody’s sometimes rollicking album will transport you to New Zealand’s hills through an Americana lens and it’s delightful! Be sure to see them on tour too as their live show stacks up just as well.” Albi – Albi and the Wolves. </p> <p> Originally formed by brothers Laurence and Sam Frangos-Rhodes, (best known for their contributions to family band, RhodeWorks) You, Me, Everybody pushes the boundaries of what New Zealand knows of a genre that was formed on tradition and rules to create progressive bluegrass. While upbeat bangers are part of their repertoire, this is no pub band, but rather a collection of the best of New Zealand’s acoustic instrumentalists that are searching for a new, dynamic sound that showcases the best of Americana in Aotearoa. </p> <p> Referred to as New Zealand’s first Bluegrass Supergroup, the excitement around their inception saw them play their first live gig as openers for The Felice Brothers as part of the Americana fest at Auckland’s Tuning Fork. They recorded their EP a week later and in February 2020, You, Me, Everybody released their self-titled debut EP, which reached number 13 in the New Zealand album charts. </p> <p> Laurence not only plays but builds beautiful guitars and his songwriting crosses boundaries of effortless yet mature in the same breath. Sam oozes musicality; he’ll pick up a mandolin, a fiddle or the double bass in a nonchalant manner but his talent quietly shatters the illusion of his youth. In 2020, Sam and Laurence were chosen as two of 16 musicians aged under 22 to participate in the Savannah Music Festival’s Acoustic Music Seminar in Georgia, USA. The Festival was postponed due to covid and they hope to join in the seminar sometime in the future. </p> <p> Nat Torkington is the resident banjo player for the Pipi Pickers. He is constantly pushing his own and his banjo’s boundaries while also encouraging other musicians to explore and challenge the bluegrass form. James Geluk is a graduate of the NZ School of Music and most recently won a Tui for the Best NZ folk album for his work with the Frank Burkitt Band. A bass player who brings his jazz education to bluegrass, an audience member once declared James’ fingers to be like spiders as they travelled their way around his bass. Kim Bonnington has a heart of pure country. She’s as comfortable at the centre of stage as she is as a backing vocalist and is known for her work as a solo singer, one half of Kim and Dusty, and for providing harmonies for a range of NZ acts. </p> <p> Devil in a Bottle of Whiskey video: <a href="https://youtu.be/8ErVWZRwv_A">https://youtu.be/8ErVWZRwv_A</a> </p> <p> Website: <a href="http://www.yme.nz/">www.yme.nz</a> </p> </div> <!-- .entry-content --> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="/you-me-everybody-2021/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2020-11-18T16:02:33+12:00">18 November 2020</time><time class="updated" datetime="2021-01-26T08:08:48+12:00">26 January 2021</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="/author/peter-parnham/">Peter Parnham</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="/category/2021-kiwigrass-acts/" rel="category tag">2021 Kiwigrass Acts</a>, <a href="/category/2021-kiwigrass-acts/2021-bluegrass-acts/" rel="category tag">2021 Bluegrass Acts</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> </article><!-- #post-3833 --> <article id="post-3845" class="post-3845 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-2021-kiwigrass-acts category-2021-bluegrass-adjacent-acts"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="/downunderdogs-2021/" rel="bookmark">Downunderdogs: at the bottom of the map and on top of the world</a></h2> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="entry-content"> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3846" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Downunderdogs-at-the-Bunker-960w.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="552" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Downunderdogs-at-the-Bunker-960w.jpg 960w, /wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Downunderdogs-at-the-Bunker-960w-300x173.jpg 300w, /wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Downunderdogs-at-the-Bunker-960w-768x442.jpg 768w, /wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Downunderdogs-at-the-Bunker-960w-350x201.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px"></p> <p>The Downunderdogs are Luthier pup Jack MacKenzie (left in photo), tall pup Peter Dyer, and smiley pup Cathy Dyer.</p> <p>Of course they don’t really bark and they certainly don’t bite.

Saturday morning is for workshops, while Sunday morning is for Paul Trenwith’s birthday breakfast and a whole lot of Gospel!</p> <p>Invisible, but built into our program, is time for you to just hang out and jam with friends both new and old, sharing the love of bluegrass music.

It’s lovely and I’ll tell you more about that soon, but first I want to talk about what has long been one of my favourite New Zealand small towns: Cambridge. I don’t know what it is, but I have always found Cambridge absolutely charming. Even after the Highway 1 bypass went in, I would detour back into Cambridge on that long drive between Auckland and Wellington, just to visit the Super Loos. </p> <p>While I was there, I stopped in at the iSite and talked to Karina. I know many of you are already calling around the area looking for accommodation. Karina is your woman. Give her a call or e-mail (+647 823 3456, info@cambridge.co.nz), she can help you out. She has seen over 95% of Cambridge accommodation and they have 145 accommodation members on their website, www.cambridge.co.nz. They can cater for any budget or group size, and can give you options to meet any requirements. </p> <p>If you’re planning on camping, you can book that directly through <a href="https://www.lakekarapiro.co.nz/">Lake Karāpiro.</a></p> <p>My tip for Cambridge is to make sure you take some time to walk across the Victoria St bridge, the river gorge is quite spectacular there. </p> <p>Barry, Nat and I are off to the IBMA World of Bluegrass in Raleigh, North Carolina this month. I’ll write again in a week or so with more exciting Kiwigrass news. In the meantime, get that accommodation booked for Kiwigrass (30 January – 2 February 2020) and Kiwigrass Academy (29-30 January 2020), and consider a couple extra days to explore Cambridge and the rest of the amazing, fun, beautiful, adventurous Waikato region.</p> <p><em>– Jenine</em></p> </div> <!-- .entry-content --> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="/reporting-to-you-from-cambridge/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2019-09-11T06:39:22+12:00">11 September 2019</time><time class="updated" datetime="2019-12-14T11:11:22+12:00">14 December 2019</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="/author/jenine/">Jenine Abarbanel</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="/category/news2020/" rel="category tag">2020 News</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> </article><!-- #post-1781 --> <article id="post-3101" class="post-3101 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-news2020"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="/tickets-on-sale-now/" rel="bookmark">2020 Tickets On Sale Now</a></h2> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="entry-content"> <h2>Kiwigrass festival and Kiwigrass Academy tickets</h2> <p>Great news: our shiny new ticketing system is set up and ready to go.

You can stay at Karapiro Sunday night after the festival if you don’t feel like driving that night.</p> <p>Karapiro bookings:</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://secure.staah.com/common-cgi/properties/b2c/Booknow.pl?action=showpage&PropertyId=6316&Ln=&cur=&source=&checkIn=&checkOut=&unk=1934&msg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="483" height="77" src="/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Lake-Karapiro-2.jpg" alt="Karapiro bookings" class="wp-image-3169" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Lake-Karapiro-2.jpg 483w, /wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Lake-Karapiro-2-350x56.jpg 350w, /wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Lake-Karapiro-2-300x48.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px"></a></figure> </div> <!-- .entry-content --> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="/come-straight-to-kiwigrass-from-auckland-folk-festival-copy/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2019-11-10T01:07:10+12:00">10 November 2019</time><time class="updated" datetime="2019-12-14T11:12:49+12:00">14 December 2019</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="/author/jenine/">Jenine Abarbanel</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="/category/news2020/" rel="category tag">2020 News</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> </article><!-- #post-3166 --> <nav class="navigation pagination" aria-label="Posts"> <h2 class="screen-reader-text">Posts navigation</h2> <div class="nav-links"> <a class="prev page-numbers" href="/author/jenine/page/8/">Previous page</a> <a class="page-numbers" href="/author/jenine/"><span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>1</a> <span class="page-numbers dots">…</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="/author/jenine/page/8/"><span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>8</a> <span aria-current="page" class="page-numbers current"><span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>9</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="/author/jenine/page/10/"><span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>10</a> <a class="page-numbers" href="/author/jenine/page/11/"><span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>11</a> <a class="next page-numbers" href="/author/jenine/page/10/">Next page</a> </div> </nav> </main><!-- .site-main --> </section><!-- .content-area --> </div> <!-- .site-content --> <footer id="colophon" class="site-footer"> <div class="site-info"> <a class="privacy-policy-link" href="/privacy-policy/" rel="privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a><span role="separator" aria-hidden="true"></span> <a href="https://wordpress.org/" class="imprint"> Proudly powered by WordPress </a> </div> <!-- .site-info --> </footer><!-- .site-footer --> </div> <!-- .site --> </body> </html>PK ! �/7 [� [� jenine/page/2/index.htmlnu �[��� <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en-NZ" class="no-js"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"> <link rel="profile" href="https://gmpg.org/xfn/11"> <link rel="pingback" href="/xmlrpc.php"> <script>(function(html){html.className = html.className.replace(/\bno-js\b/,'js')})(document.documentElement);</script> <title>Jenine Abarbanel – Page 2 – Kiwigrass – NZ's own national bluegrass festival</title> <meta name="robots" content="max-image-preview:large"> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Kiwigrass - NZ's own national bluegrass festival » Feed" href="/feed/"> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Kiwigrass - NZ's own national bluegrass festival » Comments Feed" href="/comments/feed/"> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Kiwigrass - NZ's own national bluegrass festival » Posts by Jenine Abarbanel Feed" href="/author/jenine/feed/"> <script> window._wpemojiSettings = {"baseUrl":"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/72x72\/","ext":".png","svgUrl":"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/svg\/","svgExt":".svg","source":{"concatemoji":"http:\/\/www.kiwigrass.nz\/wp-includes\/js\/wp-emoji-release.min.js?ver=6.6.2"}}; /*!

Their unparalleled stage presence and skill left audiences speechless and hungry for more. Kiwigrass is very pleased to be bringing this amazing band back to New Zealand. The boys from Boston have been hard at work on a new album, adding to their already stellar repertoire. In addition to concerts, these Berklee School of Music trained musicians will be leading workshops in their instruments.</p> </div> <!-- .entry-content --> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="/headline-us-act-accounced/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2018-08-21T00:16:55+12:00">21 August 2018</time><time class="updated" datetime="2019-12-14T11:13:27+12:00">14 December 2019</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="/author/jenine/">Jenine Abarbanel</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="/category/news-2019/" rel="category tag">2019 News</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> </article><!-- #post-129 --> <article id="post-115" class="post-115 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-news-2019"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="/bluegrass-parkway/" rel="bookmark">Bluegrass Parkway to appear at Kiwigrass</a></h2> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="entry-content"> <h4 style="text-align: center;"><em>First International Guest Act Announced</em></h4> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Bluegrass Parkway to appear at Kiwigrass</h3> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/bluegrass.parkway/"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-116" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/BGP-300x227.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="227" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/BGP-300x227.jpg 300w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/08/BGP-350x265.jpg 350w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/08/BGP.jpg 633w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px">Kiwigrass is very excited to announce Australian bluegrass royalty </a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/bluegrass.parkway/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bluegrass Parkway</a> will be appearing at Kiwigrass in February. Now in their 30th year, Bluegrass Parkway are the longest continuously performing bluegrass band in Australia. They have played at dozens of folk and country music festivals throughout Australia, New Zealand and the United States, and have been past favourites on the Australian-based Bluegrass Cruise. Bluegrass Parkway have placed great importance on presenting Bluegrass music in its most authentic form, performing around a single on-stage microphone, as was the norm for the pioneers of the genre during the 1940s. They are frequent presenters of harmony workshops, as their skill in this area is beyond compare, and each band member is a skilled harmony singer and teacher. The Band features Paul Duff on mandolin, Maria Duff on bass, Wayne Perry on guitar, Mick O’Neill on banjo and Donal Baylor on fiddle.</p> <p>More exciting announcements to come soon!

Inspired by the unvarnished authenticity of early American folk and blues heroes such as Dock Boggs, Roscoe Holcomb and Leadbelly and led by the driving clawhammer banjo and vocals of David Ward (Wheel Of Experience), vital fiddle and mandolin of Dave Khan (Marlon Williams, Reb Fountain), and solid foundation of Bassist Eamon Edmundson Wells (Ruckus), Shindig Trio present stonking takes on old-time folk, blues and country tunes from the American pantheon.</p> <div> <p>DAVID WARD is a diversely creative guitarist and banjo player who composes for theatre and original projects. He has performed in numerous musical settings, touring extensively in NZ, Singapore, Australia, India, Germany and the U.S.A. He is perhaps best known for his long time collaboration with Indian Ink Theatre Company for which he has twice won the Chapman Tripp Theatre Award for “Most Outstanding Composer.” David writes and performs in his original Jazz ensembles such as Onomatopoeia and Ruckus, Old-Time, Folk and Blues projects such as Wheel of Experience and Shindig, as well as numerous roles performing as collaborator and sideman with many of New Zealand’s most talented artists. In 2018 and 2019 David performed as a guest Banjoist with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra.</p> <p>DAVE KHAN is a multi instrumentalist (Violin, Viola, Guitar, Mandolin, Piano, Synths) who over the past 20 years has garnered a firm reputation as a supremely creative collaborator, sideman and arranger for some of NZ’s most respected artists including Marlon Wililams, Reb Fountain, Don McGlashan, Dave Dobbyn, Tim Finn, Gin Wigmore and The Topp Twins</p> <p>EAMON EDMUNDSON-WELLS is a double bass player who has performed with some of New Zealand’s most successful musicians and international touring artists. Most known for his work in the Jazz end of the musical spectrum, Eamon explores many different genres and approaches to music, some drenched in improvisation and freedom, others in stylistic integrity and faithful reproduction. Regardless of the approach, he is a player that focuses on what’s fundamental to the music: sound, texture, rhythm, harmony, connectivity between humans, and finding peace in the process of creating.

Formed up in 2013, 9 Mile Creek play traditional and original bluegrass, along with anything else that strikes their fancy. All four of the fellas sing, 3 of them write original material, and they are all masters of their instruments. They’re the life of the party at any jam session, a delight to watch on stage, and generally excellent to have around. Not only are they talented musicians and performers, but they are also strong contributors to the bluegrass scene in Victoria, having had roles in organising multiple bluegrass festivals and bluegrass clubs. We’re very excited to be hosting them on their first ever visit to New Zealand.</p> <p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/9MC-hi-res.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-142" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/9MC-hi-res-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200"></a></p> </div> <!-- .entry-content --> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="/headliner-nine-mile-creek-from-australia/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2018-08-30T23:50:20+12:00">30 August 2018</time><time class="updated" datetime="2019-12-14T11:13:12+12:00">14 December 2019</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="/author/jenine/">Jenine Abarbanel</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="/category/news-2019/" rel="category tag">2019 News</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> </article><!-- #post-140 --> <nav class="navigation pagination" aria-label="Posts"> <h2 class="screen-reader-text">Posts navigation</h2> <div class="nav-links"> <a class="prev page-numbers" href="/author/jenine/page/9/">Previous page</a> <a class="page-numbers" href="/author/jenine/"><span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>1</a> <span class="page-numbers dots">…</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="/author/jenine/page/9/"><span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>9</a> <span aria-current="page" class="page-numbers current"><span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>10</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="/author/jenine/page/11/"><span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>11</a> <a class="next page-numbers" href="/author/jenine/page/11/">Next page</a> </div> </nav> </main><!-- .site-main --> </section><!-- .content-area --> </div> <!-- .site-content --> <footer id="colophon" class="site-footer"> <div class="site-info"> <a class="privacy-policy-link" href="/privacy-policy/" rel="privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a><span role="separator" aria-hidden="true"></span> <a href="https://wordpress.org/" class="imprint"> Proudly powered by WordPress </a> </div> <!-- .site-info --> </footer><!-- .site-footer --> </div> <!-- .site --> </body> </html>PK ! �v�� �� jenine/feed/index.xmlnu �[��� <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><rss version="2.0" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:sy="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" xmlns:slash="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/" > <channel> <title>Jenine Abarbanel – Kiwigrass – NZ's own national bluegrass festival</title> <atom:link href="/author/jenine/feed/" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" /> <link>/</link> <description>11 Feb 2022 – 13 Feb 2022</description> <lastBuildDate>Fri, 04 Feb 2022 05:47:53 +0000</lastBuildDate> <language>en-NZ</language> <sy:updatePeriod> hourly </sy:updatePeriod> <sy:updateFrequency> 1 </sy:updateFrequency> <generator>https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.2</generator> <image> <url>/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/cropped-kiwigrass_logo_dark02-1-32x32.png</url> <title>Jenine Abarbanel – Kiwigrass – NZ's own national bluegrass festival</title> <link>/</link> <width>32</width> <height>32</height> </image> <item> <title>Kiwigrass 2022 Cancelled.</title> <link>/kiwigrass-2022-cancelled/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Jenine Abarbanel]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 04 Feb 2022 05:47:52 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">/?p=4084</guid> <description><![CDATA[It is with much sadness that, after the government announcement yesterday, we have decided to cancel Kiwigrass 2022.  Although technically 100 of us could gather at Paeroa Racecourse and have a socially distanced get together under the trees, we feel it is better to take the safer route and not put any of our bluegrass … <a href="/kiwigrass-2022-cancelled/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Kiwigrass 2022 Cancelled.</span></a>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>It is with much sadness that, after the government announcement yesterday, we have decided to cancel Kiwigrass 2022.

However, things are, if anything, even more uncertain now, emphasised by the cancellation of spring and early summer festivals that we are seeing now. Here at Kiwigrass we’ve taken a hard look at what we feel we can and can’t do, and what we feel is most important to preserve during this time. Our conclusion is that it is too risky to attempt to put on a full festival this coming year. </p> <p>At the same time, it is important to us to maintain a “home” for bluegrass music and the people who love it in New Zealand. So Kiwigrass will be on in 2022, just scaled back. This year Kiwigrass will have more emphasis on participation and immersive music experiences, rather than concerts. We will still have a stage for performances by all your favourite New Zealand bluegrass, old time, and bluegrass-adjacent Americana bands. </p> <p>With our smaller size, we also have a new venue, the <strong>Paeroa Racecourse</strong>. This is where Hamsterfest was held last Easter, so we know it is perfect for what we have in mind. And we’ve had to shift the date to<strong> February 11-13</strong>, a week later. We will put out more information about this year’s festival in the coming months.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Peter Madill featured in Stuff</title> <link>/peter-madill-featured-in-stuff/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Jenine Abarbanel]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 18 Jul 2021 07:26:35 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2021 News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">/?p=4026</guid> <description><![CDATA[Kiwigrass stalwart of the Luthier room Peter Madill was featured in a lovely article in Stuff recently.

Inspired by the unvarnished authenticity of early American folk and blues heroes such as Dock Boggs, Roscoe Holcomb and Leadbelly and led by the driving clawhammer banjo and vocals of David Ward (Wheel Of Experience), vital fiddle and mandolin of Dave Khan (Marlon Williams, Reb Fountain), and solid foundation of Bassist Eamon Edmundson Wells (Ruckus), Shindig Trio present stonking takes on old-time folk, blues and country tunes from the American pantheon.</p> <div> <p>DAVID WARD is a diversely creative guitarist and banjo player who composes for theatre and original projects. He has performed in numerous musical settings, touring extensively in NZ, Singapore, Australia, India, Germany and the U.S.A. He is perhaps best known for his long time collaboration with Indian Ink Theatre Company for which he has twice won the Chapman Tripp Theatre Award for “Most Outstanding Composer.” David writes and performs in his original Jazz ensembles such as Onomatopoeia and Ruckus, Old-Time, Folk and Blues projects such as Wheel of Experience and Shindig, as well as numerous roles performing as collaborator and sideman with many of New Zealand’s most talented artists. In 2018 and 2019 David performed as a guest Banjoist with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra.</p> <p>DAVE KHAN is a multi instrumentalist (Violin, Viola, Guitar, Mandolin, Piano, Synths) who over the past 20 years has garnered a firm reputation as a supremely creative collaborator, sideman and arranger for some of NZ’s most respected artists including Marlon Wililams, Reb Fountain, Don McGlashan, Dave Dobbyn, Tim Finn, Gin Wigmore and The Topp Twins</p> <p>EAMON EDMUNDSON-WELLS is a double bass player who has performed with some of New Zealand’s most successful musicians and international touring artists. Most known for his work in the Jazz end of the musical spectrum, Eamon explores many different genres and approaches to music, some drenched in improvisation and freedom, others in stylistic integrity and faithful reproduction. Regardless of the approach, he is a player that focuses on what’s fundamental to the music: sound, texture, rhythm, harmony, connectivity between humans, and finding peace in the process of creating. He has recently worked with Leda’s Dream, Troglodytes, Jon Pal Inderberg, Hayden Chisholm, Jeff Henderson, and Tom Cunliffe.</p> </div> <p>Learn more about David Ward here: <a href="https://www.davidwardmusician.com/">https://www.davidwardmusician.com/. </a></p> <p><a href="http://hotdiggity.nz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-295" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif" alt="" width="60" height="60" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo.gif 150w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/10/wwwlogo-100x100.gif 100w" sizes="(max-width: 60px) 100vw, 60px" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwxeeM0BQktc6iJSrMlr2vg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-308" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/YT3.png" alt="" width="200" height="48" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/HotDiggityBluegrassNZ/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-282 size-full" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FBlogo.png" alt="" width="50" height="50" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/hot-diggity-bluegrass-nz" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-333" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/soundcloud-logo-2.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="57" /></a></p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Terrific Write Up of the Festival</title> <link>/terrific-write-up-of-the-festival/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Jenine Abarbanel]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 18 Feb 2020 04:59:40 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[2020 News]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">/?p=3754</guid> <description><![CDATA[On Sunday, we were visited by Te Awamutu Courier reporter Caitlan Johnston.

Although technically 100 of us could gather at Paeroa Racecourse and have a socially distanced get together under the trees, we feel it is better to take the safer route and not put any of our bluegrass family at risk from this highly contagious variant that is getting past vaccines. <br><br>In the meantime, if you need a Camp Kiwigrass songbook, or a festival t-shirt, flask, or drink bottle, drop me a line. I can go into the online sales business to keep me out of trouble until we can start planning for 2023 back at Karāpiro or Paeroa. Maybe we’ll even be able to have an act or two from overseas by then!<br><br>We are sending all our love to our friends and bluegrass family across the globe.

However, things are, if anything, even more uncertain now, emphasised by the cancellation of spring and early summer festivals that we are seeing now. Here at Kiwigrass we’ve taken a hard look at what we feel we can and can’t do, and what we feel is most important to preserve during this time. Our conclusion is that it is too risky to attempt to put on a full festival this coming year. </p> <p>At the same time, it is important to us to maintain a “home” for bluegrass music and the people who love it in New Zealand. So Kiwigrass will be on in 2022, just scaled back. This year Kiwigrass will have more emphasis on participation and immersive music experiences, rather than concerts. We will still have a stage for performances by all your favourite New Zealand bluegrass, old time, and bluegrass-adjacent Americana bands. </p> <p>With our smaller size, we also have a new venue, the <strong>Paeroa Racecourse</strong>. This is where Hamsterfest was held last Easter, so we know it is perfect for what we have in mind. And we’ve had to shift the date to<strong> February 11-13</strong>, a week later. We will put out more information about this year’s festival in the coming months.</p> </div> <!-- .entry-content --> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="/kiwigrass-2022-announcement/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2021-09-29T15:02:46+12:00">29 September 2021</time><time class="updated" datetime="2021-10-01T07:42:13+12:00">1 October 2021</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="/author/jenine/">Jenine Abarbanel</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="/category/news-2/" rel="category tag">News</a>, <a href="/category/2021-news/" rel="category tag">2021 News</a>, <a href="/category/uncategorized/" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> </article><!-- #post-4036 --> <article id="post-4026" class="post-4026 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-news-2 category-2021-news category-uncategorized"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="/peter-madill-featured-in-stuff/" rel="bookmark">Peter Madill featured in Stuff</a></h2> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="entry-content"> <p>Kiwigrass stalwart of the Luthier room Peter Madill was featured in a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/300340605/it-became-an-obsession-how-peter-madill-trained-himself-to-make-guitars-and-became-a-legend-in-the-field" target="_blank">lovely article in Stuff </a>recently.
