0

After a sell-out debut at the Auckland Arts Festival, the Bill Withers Social Club returns for three special shows not to be repeated. Join this all-star group of musicians on a journey through the timeless catalogue of a true legend in this intimate yet epic homage.

Bill Withers Social Club is a tribute to an iconic American singer-songwriter whose stories of love, hardship, friendship and whānau have shaped a generation of local musicians and touched the world.

Join vocalists Dallas Tamaira (Fat Freddy’s Drop), Rio Hemopo (TrinityRoots), Troy Kingi & L.A Mitchell (Terrible Sons, Fly My Pretties), alongside band members Iraia Whakamoe and Ryan Prebble (The Nudge, Fly My Pretties), Adán Tijerina (The Yoots, AHoriBuzz) and Daniel Hayles (Lord Echo, Hollie Smith), as they perform tracks from Withers’ incredible catalogue.

Regarded as “one of R&B/soul music’s most revered singer-songwriters”, it is hard to overstate the impact of an artist like Bill Withers. His catalogue includes tracks such as ‘Lean on Me’, ‘Lovely Day’, ‘Grandma’s Hands’, ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’ and many more, all of which are ingrained in the musical DNA of people all over the globe. This show sees a group of talented musicians celebrating the man, his work, and its impact on music through the decades.

Tickets for all shows on sale 12pm Thursday February 22 – HERE – with ticket and accommodation packages available in Wellington thanks to Naumi Wellington. These shows will not be repeated so don’t miss this magical evening celebrating the incredible influence of a one-in-a-lifetime artist in Bill Withers.
