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> ]]></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>BB and Alex – Our International Guests!</title> <link>/alex-and-bb-2021/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Peter Parnham]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 19 Nov 2020 21:45:44 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[2021 Kiwigrass Acts]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2021 Bluegrass Acts]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">/hot-diggity-bluegrass-band-2021-copy/</guid> <description><![CDATA[BB Bowness and Alex Rubin (New Zealand/USA) Born in the small town of Marton, New Zealand, Catherine “BB” Bowness spent her early years working and living in her family’s Fish-and-Chip shop.

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 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> </channel> </rss> PK ! -Ԕʘw �w index.xmlnu �[��� PK I �w
